When is my project considered and charged as 'urgent'?

We can handle up to around 4,000 words per translator per day without going into overtime. If you have a longer document, we might be able to assign several translators part of the same text. For common language pairs such as Spanish to English, this is easier than for others.

Therefore the general rule is that documents containing over 4,000 words that need to be translated within 24 hours (excluding weekends) are classed as urgent. If you can let us know when you expect the translation beforehand (for example, if you let us know on Monday that you will send us an 8,000 word document on Thursday and need it back on Friday), we can book and brief the translators beforehand and the charge will be significantly lower.
