OUR TRANSLATION SERVICE EXPERTISE

GET YOUR TRANSLATION DONE FOR FREE!

Headings lie … sometimes. Our professional translation services are not free, but they're not too expensive either. Translation service prices vary wildly. You can get your translation done for free or for next to nothing, or spend a dollar per word. What is it with these differences? Here's our very honest analysis of pricing in the language service industry:

Very low translation prices Very high translation prices Free translations (Woohoo!)
Translators are professionals, often with tertiary degrees and other well-paid jobs (think lawyers, doctors, high-ranking civil servants). They don't want to translate for the minimum wage. If someone does, it's because they probably have to. Maybe they're so bad that they struggle at keeping their clients; or their work is just so mediocre that price is their only distinguishing feature. In either case, low rates should make you suspicious. You're not buying a bag of lollies, but an intellectual service; and you want someone smart, professional and committed handling your text. There are a lot of translation agencies and translators who just hope that you don't compare – same as in any other industry (think tradespeople). Unfortunately, a high price doesn't say anything about quality, and you may end up with the same low level you would have received had you chosen the x-cent-per-word option. Your best defence mechanism is to shop around, as you would in any other industry. If you contact two plumbers, one might charge you $200, and one $800. Guess who's ripping you off… Google Translate is the market leader in automatic translations, and it works OK for simple texts in certain languages. Maybe we won't need human translators in 10 years' time – but that time has not come yet. The output is not good enough for professional purposes, and then there's no certification either. Plus, you wave goodbye to privacy once you copy a text into Google Translate. We're not so deluded as to say that machine translations will never replace us, but it hasn't happened yet. So, unless you only need to get the gist of a text, machine translation is not for you.

So what about our prices? They're mid-market. We pay our translators more than just a living wage, because we want to retain the best experts; but we don't ignore the global marketplace either. And then there's our track record of successfully handling even the most complex project in the field of professional translation services in Australia – for law firms, hospitals, government departments, or individuals. You'll receive a translation that works, and that you can be proud of … without having to take on a second mortgage.

SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS, OR NOTHING? THE TRUST THING.

If you're currently sourcing a translation agency, you will come across a lot of providers. What you'll read here is insider industry knowledge.

To begin with, a core problem in the translation industry is that many clients like you will never know whether they received a quality translation. Some clients may be able to understand the translation, but most don't; which is why they need a translation services provider in the first place. So, it's a trust situation, similar to hiring a lawyer: You pay for a service, but you can never be 100 percent sure whether it could have been done better. If mistakes have been made, you'll probably never know.

The solution? Select a translation provider that

  • has a track record of long-term clients, especially government clients. (We do a lot of work for Australian state and local governments, and regular win tenders.)
  • has been in the market for a while. (We've been around for 10 years.)
  • has genuine online reviews. (Google us.)
  • is in your country. (We're an Australian company with staff in Sydney and Brisbane, servicing all states and cities.)

YOU JUST WANT “OK”, OR MORE?

There is a difference between a translation that is just OK, and one from a professional translation service. Aussie Translations does not take shortcuts. The language industry is saturated with translation service companies promising expertise and experience. But many of them are only just good enough to get by.
