Language Services

Q：	How do you count the number of words?

A：

The number of words is counted according to the number of Chinese characters, which include Chinese words (hanzi), the Arabic alphabet, numbers and punctuation, but exclude spaces. On the Review tab of Word 2010 and Word 2007, in the Proofing group, we click Word Count and select Characters (no spaces). A document with less than 1,000 Chinese characters is charged as one with 1,000 Chinese characters. Documents such as ID cards, household registration booklets, drivers' licenses, business licenses and notarized documents are charged by the number of copies. For long-term partners, their documents with less than 1,000 Chinese characters can be accumulated through the payment charges mentioned above.

Q：	What’s your rating for translations? Do you provide free trial translations?

A：

Translation is charged depending on the language, number of words, technical complexity, and clients' specific requirements for turnaround time, typesetting, and graphics and etc. Hence, services are quoted based on specific request to guarantee the reasonability. We provide a free trial translation of 200 Chinese characters for first-time clients when the number of files up for translation exceeds 8,000.

Q：	Do you use translation software? How do you guarantee the translation quality? If I am not proficient in the targeted language, how can I make sure your translation is correct?

A：

All translation assignments are done by human translators since those done by software programs cannot be understood smoothly and clearly. The differences between translations done by translators and software programs are obvious. We stick firmly to the standard process of T(ranslating)+E(diting)+P(roofreading) and stringent quality control to guarantee high-quality translation services.
