What is the usual turnaround time for document translations?

Professional Translators can typically translate around 1500-3000 words per day, depending on the nature of content. This includes basic checks in areas such as as spelling, sentence structure and grammar.

Once you have uploaded the files, SwiftTranslate™ will indicate the turnaround number of days required in the webpage before you proceed to pay.

What happens after I have made payment?

An Email Confirmation of your order will be sent to you once your payment is completed.

SwiftTranslate™ will automatically search for the best available Translator in our qualified network who can take up your project.

Once assigned to the available Translator, and the translator has accepted the project, SwiftTranslate™ will alert you by email so you will know right away.

Otherwise, SwiftTranslate™ will continue the search and keep you updated as soon as possible. Usually the search wait time ranges from a couple of seconds to a few minutes, depending on the time of the day and availability of translators.

In the event that there are no available translators, we will send you an email to notify you of the fee refund.

The Fee Refund will be made within 24—72 hours upon the notification.

If your project is accepted and in progress, SwiftTranslate™ will notify you of the deadline and a download link when the file is translated.

Please note that your translated files will also be available for download via your client login account.

Can I make changes to the source file after I've paid?

No, you are not able to make changes to the file you wish to translate after paying, so please ensure that you upload the actual and final file to be translated. No fee refunds will be made for incorrect file uploaded to SwiftTranslate™ for translations.

Is SwiftTranslate™ using Human or Machine Translations?

SwiftTranslate™ works only with Professional Human Translators. These Translators are native speakers based around the world and have at least 8-10 years of professional translation experience.

SwiftTranslate™ offers speed and convenience for your Translation Projects.

SwiftTranslate™ is the latest technology that automatically searches, matches and assigns your translation projects to actual Professional Human Translators in our Qualified Translators Network for your project.

Much effort is put in to ensure that only Professional Translators with substantial work experience and good track record are invited to join our SwiftTranslate™ community.

These Professional Translators are required to have at least an academic degree, to ascertain that they have the required linguistic skills and specialized knowledge.

90% of our Translators are certified by Professional Translation Associations & Certification Bodies such as the Swiss Association of Sworn Translators, American Translators Association, Australian Institute of Interpreters & Translators, German Federal Association of Interpreters & Translators, Arabic Translators' Association (ATA) and the Japanese Translator's Association (JTA) etc.

Additionally, our stringent selection process has been fortified with the implementation of language skill tests for prospective candidates. Only the Top 20 Percent is recruited onboard to handle customer projects.

Our 'Continuous Improvement System' (CIS) is also in place to provide continuous Assessment and Feedback of our Network of Translators. The customer feedbacks and review comments will be communicated to our Translators and this has proved to help them improve through time.

Also with (CIS), we are able to weed out consistently sub-standard Translators and this system serves as deterrence for Translators from submitting poor quality work.

What file formats are accepted at SwiftTranslate™?

We accept editable file formats which are not password protected – e.g MS WORD, PPT, EXCEL, NOTEPAD (.txt) and editable text without complicated table format in PDF.

RAR, Zip Compressed files and Scanned documents are not accepted as SwiftTranslate™ is not able to determine the word count to dispatch your project in good order.

When should I contact your main office?

  • If your file is scanned or in JPG format, our system is unable to determine the word count, and hence not able to process it.
  • In cases when there are elements of scanned images or tables in the editable files you will be uploading, the word count will not be taken into consideration and will not be translated or charged in the quotation.
  • If the content to be translated is confidential, you probably will require a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to be signed first before proceeding further.
  • If the accuracy of the content to be translated is very important, we strongly recommend you to contact our main office for assistance.
  • If you require Document Certification or Notarization services.
  • If you have special instructions or style guide for our translation teams to take note of – like certain lines of text not be translated.
  • If your document word count is more than 5000 words or for file formats not currently accepted by SwiftTranslate™.
  • If the language pair(s) you require is not found on the main page – however, please note that we are able support more than 100 languages through our Managed Translation Services Team, just that it may not be supported by SwiftTranslate™ automated system at this time.
