Interpretation services including consecutive, simultaneous, and remote are also available. Every translation goes through a minimum two-stage QA process: primary translation by a native-speaking specialist with subject-matter expertise, followed by an independent review by a second qualified linguist. For certified, sworn, and submission-critical documents, a third-stage terminology and consistency check is applied. We do not use unedited machine translation output on any project. We cover 50+ language pairs with native-speaking specialists. This includes all major European languages (French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and more), Asian languages (Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Thai), and many others. Contact us if your language pair is not listed: our global network is extensive. Translation handles written content: documents, websites, marketing materials, and software. Interpretation handles spoken language in real time: conferences, legal hearings, business meetings, and remote calls. BeTranslated provides both through dedicated specialist teams. The same project can require both services, for example a legal case requiring document translation and courtroom interpretation. Send your documents or describe your project using the Get a Free Quote button on this page. We respond promptly with pricing, a confirmed timeline, and the specialist team assigned to your work. There is no obligation to proceed after receiving a quote. ### Translation Services on BeTranslated.com Browse the full catalog by specialism, document type, language, and process. #### Specialisms [Marketing TranslationTranscreation, brochures, catalogs, and advertising material in every language.](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/marketing/), [Website TranslationTranslate websites including meta tags, alt text, and invisible SEO content.](https://betranslated.com/website-translation-services/), [WordPress TranslationNative WordPress and WPML integration for multilingual sites.](https://betranslated.com/website-translation-services/wordpress/), [Software LocalizationUI strings, help docs, and SaaS product localization in 50+ languages.](https://betranslated.com/software-localization/), [Multilingual DTPInDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop DTP with RTL and CJK language support.](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/multilingual-dtp/), [Certified and Sworn TranslationLegally recognized translations for courts, embassies, and immigration.](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) #### Documents and Process [Document Translation ServicesMarketing landing for the full document type index.](https://betranslated.com/document-translation-services/), [Notarized Translation ServicesNotary public-verified translations for US courts and government use.](https://betranslated.com/notarized-translation-services/), [Translation Turnaround TimesHow long professional translation takes by document type and language pair.](https://betranslated.com/translation-turnaround-times/), [Translation RatesHow translation is priced and what to expect for standard, legal, and certified work.](https://betranslated.com/translation-rates/), [Get a Free QuoteFree quote returned quickly, no obligation.](https://betranslated.com/translation-quote/), [All Translation ServicesFull overview of BeTranslated's professional translation offer.](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/) #### Languages and Process [Language Translation HubTranslation services by language: 50+ combinations covered.](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/), [SEO Translation ServicesKeywords researched natively in the target language, not translated from English.](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/), [Translation Plus Digital MarketingWhere translation and multilingual marketing overlap, and when you need both.](https://betranslated.com/digital/crossover/), [Free Multilingual SEO Audit30-minute baseline audit of multilingual visibility across your target markets.](https://betranslated.com/digital/free-seo-audit/), [Translation Service ProviderAbout BeTranslated as a professional translation service provider since 2002.](https://betranslated.com/translation-service-provider/), [Professional Translation CompanyCompany hub with FAQ and international translation service overview.](https://betranslated.com/professional-translation-company/), [Frequently Asked QuestionsPricing, turnaround, certification, languages, and quality assurance answered.](https://betranslated.com/professional-translation-company/frequently-asked-questions/), [International Translation ServicesCoverage across regions, time zones, and global delivery models.](https://betranslated.com/professional-translation-company/international-translation-services/) Further Reading - [Hiring a translation agency](https://betranslated.com/blog/need-translation-agency/) - [Industries that rely on translation](https://betranslated.com/blog/key-industries-translation-services/) 5.0/5.0 from 168 Google Reviews ### Need Professional Translation Services?

We translate between common law and civil law across 50+ languages, with sworn and USCIS-compliant certified translation on request. ### Legal Translation by Specialists Who Understand Two Legal Systems A French notarial deed (acte notarié) is not a US notarized document. An English common-law trust has no exact civil-law equivalent. A Spanish poder notarial carries procedural requirements that an English-trained lawyer would not anticipate. An Italian atto means different things depending on whether the context is corporate, criminal, or administrative law. Legal translation requires understanding two legal systems at once, not just two languages. Every legal project we accept goes to a translator with formal training in both jurisdictions, with the procedural knowledge to format the document correctly for the destination court, registry, or regulator. Apostille and Hague Convention legalisation are coordinated where the receiving authority requires them. ### Documents We Translate for Legal and Corporate Teams #### Contracts and Commercial Agreements Sales and purchase agreements, NDAs, distribution agreements, licensing contracts, employment contracts, terms and conditions, and SLAs translated by linguists with commercial law experience. #### Court Documents and Litigation Pleadings, judgments, witness statements, expert reports, depositions, and court orders translated for cross-border litigation, arbitration, and enforcement of foreign judgments. #### M&A and Virtual Data Room Documents Due diligence reports, virtual data room (VDR) document sets, share purchase agreements, articles of incorporation, board resolutions, and shareholder agreements for [cross-border M&A](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/financial/), joint ventures, and restructurings. #### Intellectual Property Filings [Specialized IP translation](https://betranslated.com/specialized-translation/) for patent specifications, trademark applications, copyright registrations, and licensing agreements, prepared for filings with USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and national IP offices. #### Sworn and Certified Translations [Sworn translations](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) by court-certified translators for jurisdictions that require them (France, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc.). Certified translations prepared for USCIS, embassies, and government agencies worldwide. #### Regulatory and Compliance Documents GDPR documentation, AML and KYC policies, regulatory submissions, and compliance reports for industries from finance and [pharmaceutical regulatory work](https://betranslated.com/pharmaceutical-translation/) to telecommunications. #### Sectors We Serve - [Law Firms](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) - [In-House Legal Departments](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) - Courts and Arbitration Centers - Government Agencies - [Financial Services](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/financial/) - Insurance and Reinsurance - [Pharma and Medical Devices](https://betranslated.com/pharmaceutical-translation/) - [Real Estate](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/business/real-estate/) #### File Formats Accepted Office [.docx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/docx/), [.pdf](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pdf/), [.xlsx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xlsx/), [.pptx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pptx/) Legal Scanned PDF, Bates-stamped, .tif Structured [.xml](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xml/), [.xliff](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xliff/), [.html](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/html/) #### Languages Available [French](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/french/), [German](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/german/), [Spanish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/spanish/), [Italian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/italian/), [Portuguese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/portuguese/), [Dutch](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/dutch/), [Polish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/polish/), [Russian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/russian/), [Ukrainian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/ukrainian/), [Arabic](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/arabic/), [Chinese (Simplified)](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/chinese/), [Japanese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/japanese/), [Korean](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/korean/), [Turkish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/turkish/), [Hebrew](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/hebrew/), [Greek](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/greek/), + 50+ more ### What Our Clients Say “Great communication, perfect translations in different languages in a very short notice.

It covers contracts, court filings, corporate and M&A documents, intellectual property filings, and regulatory material. Because legal concepts often have no exact equivalent across jurisdictions, accurate legal translation means transposing meaning between legal systems such as common law and civil law, not substituting words one by one. Legal translation is the broad practice of translating any legal document. A [certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) adds a signed statement of accuracy and is accepted by bodies such as USCIS for official use. A [sworn translation](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) is produced by a court-appointed translator (for example a traducteur assermenté in France or traductor jurado in Spain) and carries legal standing in civil-law jurisdictions. Many legal projects need only a standard legal translation; filings for courts, immigration, or foreign registries usually require a certified or sworn translation. Yes. Our legal translators hold formal qualifications in law (LLB, LLM, or equivalent) plus translation credentials. Every project is matched to a translator with experience in the relevant practice area: corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, criminal, or family law. Subject-matter expertise is a baseline, not a differentiator. Yes. We provide sworn translations (traduction assermentee, traduzione asseverata, traduccion jurada, beglaubigte Ubersetzung) by court-certified translators registered with a Cour d'appel, the Court of Appeal, and equivalent authorities in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Latin America. Apostille legalisation is available on request. Yes. Our certified translations include the signed Certificate of Accuracy that USCIS requires for foreign-language documents in immigration applications. They are prepared for USCIS, US immigration courts, and US embassies worldwide. Same-day service is available for urgent filings. Every translator and project manager signs a project-specific NDA before any document is shared. Files are transferred over encrypted channels, stored on secure servers, and deleted after project completion on request. Privilege and confidentiality protocols match the standards of major law firms. Yes. We process litigation document sets of any size, from a few briefs to multi-thousand-document discovery and virtual data room productions. Translation memory and glossaries maintain consistency across the set, and dedicated project managers coordinate teams of translators on time-pressured matters.

Legal translation is the broad practice of translating any legal document. A certified translation adds a signed statement of accuracy and is accepted by bodies such as USCIS for official use. A sworn translation is produced by a court-appointed translator (for example a traducteur assermenté in France or traductor jurado in Spain) and carries legal standing in civil-law jurisdictions. Many legal projects need only a standard legal translation; filings for courts, immigration, or foreign registries usually require a certified or sworn translation. --- ## Medical Translation Services Source: https://betranslated.com/translation-services/medical/ Medical translation of regulated content is not a job for generalists. Every clinical trial protocol, device IFU, and consent form goes to a linguist with medical or scientific training, then through a three-stage QA review. ### Medical Translation Services with Clinical and Regulatory Expertise Medical translation is the written side of our work, and it covers the full document lifecycle of a treatment or device. Clinical trial teams send us protocols, informed consent forms, clinical study reports, investigator brochures, case report forms, and patient diaries. Regulatory and labeling work covers Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), package inserts, patient information leaflets, and the Instructions for Use bundled with each medical [device technical file](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/). We handle regulatory submissions daily: FDA filings (IND, NDA, ANDA, 510(k), De Novo, PMA), EMA centralized and decentralized procedures, MHRA filings, and dossiers for Health Canada, the TGA, PMDA, and ANVISA. Article 10(11) of EU MDR Regulation 2017/745 requires the label and instructions for use to reach the user or patient in the official Union language or languages determined by the Member State where the device is made available. Article 10(10) of IVDR Regulation 2017/746 sets the same duty for in vitro diagnostics. The language set therefore follows your market map rather than a fixed list. We cover all 24 EU official languages, plus Norwegian and Icelandic for the EEA. Patient records, discharge summaries, and intake forms that need [sworn translation services](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) are produced to ICH-GCP standards, with manufacturing content aligned to GMP. Every project is reviewed by a second medical specialist, with a QA process aligned to ISO 17100 and ISO 13485 principles. ### Documents We Translate for Life Sciences Teams #### Clinical Trial Documents Informed consent forms, clinical study reports, protocols, investigator brochures, patient diaries, and lab reports translated with clinical accuracy and regulatory terminology. #### Medical Device Documentation Instructions for Use (IFU), technical files, [software interfaces](https://betranslated.com/software-localization/), packaging, and labeling. EU MDR Regulation 2017/745 requires the label and IFU in the official Union language or languages each Member State determines for its own market. #### Pharmaceutical Documentation Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), package inserts, patient information leaflets, and labeling for [regulatory authority submissions](https://betranslated.com/pharmaceutical-translation/) to EMA, FDA, MHRA, and national bodies. #### Medical Records and Research Patient records, discharge summaries, medical journals, research papers, and [white papers](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/white-paper/) for hospitals, academic institutions, and research organizations worldwide. #### Healthcare Provider Materials Patient information leaflets, appointment letters, consent forms, and clinical communications for [healthcare provider translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/healthcare/) at clinics, hospitals, and private practices serving multilingual patient populations. #### Telephone Interpreting for Healthcare Real-time telephone interpreting for scheduled appointments and urgent patient communication, where in-person interpretation is unavailable. Professional [medical interpreters](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/interpreting-services/) ensure accuracy and confidentiality for providers and patients alike. #### Sectors We Serve - [Pharmaceutical](https://betranslated.com/pharmaceutical-translation/) - Medical Devices - [Clinical Research and CROs](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/healthcare/) - [Hospitals and Clinics](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/healthcare/) - Health Insurance - Academic and Life Sciences Research - Regulatory Affairs #### File Formats Accepted Office [.docx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/docx/), [.xlsx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xlsx/), [.pptx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pptx/), [.pdf](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pdf/) Structured [.xml](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xml/), [.xliff](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xliff/), .dita, .sgml Web [.html](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/html/), [.json](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/json/), [.po](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/po/), [.txt](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/txt/) #### Languages Available [French](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/french/), [German](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/german/), [Spanish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/spanish/), [Italian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/italian/), [Portuguese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/portuguese/), [Dutch](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/dutch/), [Polish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/polish/), [Romanian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/romanian/), [Czech](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/czech/), [Hungarian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/hungarian/), [Arabic](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/arabic/), [Chinese (Simplified)](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/chinese/), [Japanese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/japanese/), [Korean](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/korean/), [Hindi](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/hindi/), [Turkish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/turkish/), [Ukrainian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/ukrainian/), + all 24 EU official languages ### What Our Clients Say “I recently used a translation agency in France to translate several administrative and commercial documents into Spanish.

All BeTranslated medical translators hold academic or professional backgrounds in medicine, pharmacy, life sciences, or a related health discipline. Language skills alone are not sufficient for medical translation: subject-matter expertise is a baseline requirement, not a differentiator. We also apply strict confidentiality protocols and NDAs on every project and never use third-party machine translation tools for medical content. We match each project to a translator with documented expertise in the [relevant clinical area](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/healthcare/). Yes. Article 10(11) requires the device to be accompanied by the information in Section 23 of Annex I in the official Union language or languages determined by the Member State where the device is made available to the user or patient, and requires label particulars to be indelible, legible, and clearly comprehensible. Article 10(10) of IVDR 2017/746 sets the same duty for in vitro diagnostics, and adds that information supplied with self-testing and near-patient testing devices must be easily understandable. A device whose safety information is missing or inaccurate in a required language can be withdrawn from the market. We provide translations across all 24 EU official languages. Every medical translation goes through three stages: primary translation by a qualified specialist, independent review by a second medical translator, and a final terminology and consistency check. For submission-critical documents, a back-translation review is available on request. Yes. For official filings and submissions we provide [certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy, with back-translation review available on request for submission-critical documents such as informed consent forms and clinical study reports. The certification format is matched to the requirements of the receiving authority, whether that is the FDA, EMA, a national competent authority, or an ethics committee. All translators and project managers sign full NDAs covering all project materials. We apply strict data handling protocols aligned with GDPR requirements. Patient identifiers are handled according to your organization's de-identification requirements. We do not use third-party machine translation tools for medical content.

Every project goes to a translator with a verified subject-matter background. ### Technical Translation Services for Engineering and Product Teams A missing torque value in a maintenance manual. A transposed dimension in an engineering drawing. The difference between shall and should in a safety specification. Technical readers act on what they read; a service technician who follows a translated work instruction does not have the source language to fall back on. We assign engineers and technicians who moved into [technical translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/) after mastering the subject, not linguists who later learned the vocabulary. The distinction matters: ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English style rules, modal-verb conventions, and ISO 80000 unit notation are second nature to a translator with a manufacturing background and learned-from-scratch for everyone else. ### Technical Translation for Manuals, Software, and Specifications #### Engineering Documentation Technical manuals, assembly instructions, [engineering drawings](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/engineering/), and maintenance documentation translated by linguists with engineering backgrounds and subject-matter expertise. #### Machine Operating Instructions Operator and maintenance manuals for [industrial machinery](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/manufacturing/), production equipment, and automated systems. Terminology consistent with the standards bodies of the target market. #### Descriptions and Data Sheets Product descriptions, technical data sheets, and specification documents for industrial and [commercial products](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/e-commerce/). Precise, consistent terminology across all languages and formats. #### Standards and Specifications Industry standards, technical specifications, and [regulatory compliance documentation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) for global markets. Terminology aligned with local standards bodies and engineering conventions. #### Environmental Studies and Reports Environmental impact assessments, sustainability reports, and [scientific studies](https://betranslated.com/specialized-translation/) translated with the precision that regulatory and scientific audiences expect. #### IT and Software Documentation [Software user guides](https://betranslated.com/software-localization/), UI strings, help content, API documentation, and IT technical manuals by translators with active technology sector experience. #### Sectors We Serve - [Engineering and Manufacturing](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/engineering/) - [Automotive](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/manufacturing/) - [Aerospace and Defense](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/manufacturing/) - Energy and Utilities - [IT and Software](https://betranslated.com/software-localization/) - Construction and Infrastructure - Environmental and Safety #### File Formats Accepted Office [.docx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/docx/), [.xlsx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xlsx/), [.pptx](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pptx/), [.pdf](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/pdf/) Technical [.xml](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xml/), .dita, [.xliff](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/xliff/), .sgml, .htm CAD / Data .dwg, .dxf, [.csv](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/csv/), [.json](https://betranslated.com/translation-file-formats/json/) #### Languages Available [German](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/german/), [French](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/french/), [Spanish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/spanish/), [Italian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/italian/), [Portuguese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/portuguese/), [Dutch](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/dutch/), [Polish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/polish/), [Russian](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/russian/), [Czech](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/czech/), [Swedish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/swedish/), [Chinese (Simplified)](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/chinese/), [Japanese](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/japanese/), [Korean](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/korean/), [Arabic](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/arabic/), [Turkish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/turkish/), [Finnish](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/finnish/), + 30 more ### What Our Clients Say “I had a pleasant working relationship with BeTranslated.

They are native speakers in their target language and hold academic or professional qualifications in the relevant technical discipline. This is not a differentiator at BeTranslated: it is a baseline requirement. We match each project to a translator with documented expertise in the specific domain, confirmed before work begins. We build project-specific glossaries and terminology databases before work begins, approved by your team or subject-matter experts. For ongoing clients, we maintain a translation memory so previously approved terms and phrases are reused automatically, reducing both cost and review time across the life of the relationship. Yes. We accept all standard formats including Word, PDF, InDesign, FrameMaker, XML, DITA, Excel, HTML, JSON, and CAD-adjacent formats. For structured documentation projects, we use industry-standard CAT tools and translation memory to maintain consistency and reduce costs on large or recurring volumes. We cover 50+ language pairs for technical documentation including all major European languages and key Asian markets: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, and more. Contact us about any language pair not listed. Yes. We have an expedited workflow for urgent technical projects. Turnaround depends on volume and language pair. Contact us for a same-day quote with a realistic timeline. Urgent projects receive the same three-stage QA process as standard projects. Pair a subject-matter translator with your own reference material. If your organization maintains a glossary or terminology knowledge base, provide it alongside the documents, because the same technical term can carry different meanings across industries. A translator familiar with the technical writing standards of your field will also resolve long, jargon-heavy source sentences into unambiguous instructions and flag culture-specific references that would confuse readers in the target market. Structural elements such as indexes, tables of contents, and cross-references can be regenerated automatically when the file format supports it, which saves time on long manuals. Repeated segments across product lines are handled by translation memory rather than retranslated from scratch. The technical claims themselves always go through a human specialist, because automated output cannot be trusted with safety-relevant wording.

Our transcreation specialists rebuild global campaigns, catalogs, press releases, and ad copy so they read as if written for the target market from day one. ### Marketing Translation Services That Keep Brand Intent Intact Marketing translation sits at the intersection of language and creativity. A direct translation preserves the words but loses the effect. Transcreation takes the intent and emotional charge of the original and rebuilds it in the target language using idioms, references, and cultural cues that work for that audience. The result is copy that sounds like it was written for that market from the start. Take Haribo's German jingle 'Haribo macht Kinder froh und Erwachsene ebenso': same promise, same rhyme and rhythm intact, reworked into Italian as 'Haribo è la bontà che si gusta ad ogni età' and into matching cadences across other languages. Or Coca-Cola's 'Share a Coke' campaign, adapted in over eighty markets with different name lists; in China, personal names were swapped for appellatives like 'Classmate' and 'Bestie' to respect local naming conventions. Mitsubishi quietly rebranded the Pajero as the Montero in Spanish-speaking markets after the original name picked up unintended slang associations. The cautionary side is just as important: HSBC's 2009 'Assume Nothing' campaign was rendered as 'Do Nothing' in several markets, costing roughly $10M to rebrand globally as 'The world's local bank.' That gap between literal accuracy and lived meaning is why transcreation exists as a discipline distinct from translation. ### Marketing Translation for Campaigns, Content, and Creative Teams #### Press Releases Publish your announcements in multiple languages to engage decision-makers in your target markets.

Transcreation goes further: slogans, idioms, and culturally specific references are reimagined so they carry the same emotional impact and intent in the target language. Our specialists also localize visual elements, adapting images, symbols, and color usage that carry different connotations across cultures. For marketing content, transcreation is often the right choice when the original relies on wordplay, humor, or cultural references that do not travel directly. Marketing copy must connect with readers emotionally and culturally, not just grammatically. A native speaker who understands local market dynamics, humor, and cultural norms will produce content that feels local rather than translated. BeTranslated assigns translators with both native fluency and marketing expertise to every campaign. Yes. We localize visual elements where needed and translate meta tags, image alt text, and metadata so your content ranks in local search engines. Translating only visible copy while leaving metadata in English limits your visibility in foreign markets. We work with InDesign, Illustrator, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and HTML among others. Our multilingual DTP team handles layout adjustments for languages that expand or contract significantly, as well as right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. Timelines depend on volume, language pair, and format complexity. A brochure or press release typically delivers in two to three business days. A full product catalog with DTP work takes longer. Contact us for a free quote and confirmed timeline promptly. Yes. We translate and localize campaign copy, subject lines, calls to action, and full newsletter sequences, and we recommend segmenting your list by language and market before any localized campaign goes out. Subject lines and calls to action are rewritten for each market rather than translated word for word, and details such as dates, currencies, and time formats are localized so a promotional deadline reads the same way everywhere. Machine translation is useful for drafting and internal reference, but it is not sufficient for public-facing email campaigns. Native speakers detect machine-translated text from its rhythm, idiom choices, and cultural tone, and copy that reads as automated erodes brand trust instead of building it. For subject lines and calls to action, professional translation with native-speaker review is the standard that produces measurable results.

That accountability is what courts, embassies, and government agencies actually require. Without it, your translation may be rejected at the first point of contact. ### Sworn Translation Services Across European Jurisdictions [#### Legal Documents Contracts, court orders, deeds, wills, and powers of attorney for use in foreign legal systems or international proceedings.

Delivered securely by email with a signed statement of accuracy and translator credentials. Learn more](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/#electronic-certification) Electronic Certification ### Digital Certified Translations, Delivered by Email Many jurisdictions now accept certified translations signed electronically. We deliver these as PDF files signed with a qualified electronic signature (eIDAS in the EU, equivalents in the US, UK, and Canada), accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy and the translator's full credentials. Electronic certification removes the wait for a physical seal and a courier. The same PDF is accepted by most courts, embassies, USCIS filings, immigration offices, and university registrars in jurisdictions that recognize digital signatures. We confirm acceptance with the receiving authority before delivery, and we keep a sealed paper copy on file in case it's needed later. - Same-day delivery for jobs under 2,000 words once translation is complete - eIDAS-qualified signatures for EU-bound submissions; US-recognized digital signatures for filings to USCIS and federal courts - Optional notarization stack: digital signature plus a notarized affidavit when the receiving authority requires both - Signed statement of accuracy and translator credentials embedded in every certified PDF Not sure if the receiving authority accepts electronic certification? Tell us where the document is going and we will confirm before quoting. Sworn Translator Titles by Country ### What 'Sworn' Looks Like in Each Jurisdiction The legal title and the appointing authority differ by country. We work with translators who hold the right credential for the country your document is destined for. #### France Title Traducteur Assermenté Appointed by a Cour d'Appel and listed on the Cour de Cassation national register. Required for documents submitted to French courts, prefectures, and most government authorities. #### Spain Title Traductor Jurado Authorized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC). Required for documents submitted to Spanish courts, the Spanish administration, and consulates abroad. The translator's seal carries unique MAEC registration number. #### Italy Title Traduttore Giurato / Traduzione Asseverata Translation sworn before a court tribunal (asseverazione). Translator personally signs the oath in front of a court clerk. Required for legal proceedings, immigration filings, and academic recognition. #### Germany Title Beeidigter / Vereidigter Übersetzer Court interpreting and sworn translation are governed separately in Germany. The Gerichtsdolmetschergesetz unified the general swearing-in of court interpreters nationally from 1 January 2023, and under its section 7 that oath runs for five years before it has to be renewed. Sworn translators are not covered by that Act, which by its own section 1 reaches interpreters engaged for language transfer in court hearings. Appointment of translators remains a matter for each federal state. Both groups are searchable in the justice database the states run together. Check the entry is current before commissioning legal or administrative work. #### Netherlands Title Beëdigd Vertaler Registered in the Rbtv, the Register beëdigde tolken en vertalers held by Bureau Wbtv under the Wet beëdigde tolken en vertalers. Article 28 obliges a named list of bodies to use only registered sworn translators and interpreters in criminal and immigration matters: the courts, the Public Prosecution Service, the police, the Royal Marechaussee, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service, and the Council of State's administrative jurisdiction division. The same article permits a non-registered linguist only where urgency leaves no registered person available in time, or the register holds nobody for the language pair. The reasons must then be recorded in writing. Confirm a translator's current Rbtv entry before commissioning work for official or judicial use. #### Belgium (Dutch-speaking) Title Beëdigd Vertaler Entered in Belgium's single federal register of sworn translators and interpreters, held by the FPS Justice. Dutch-language work covers the courts of Flanders and the Dutch-language courts of Brussels. #### Belgium (French-speaking) Title Traducteur Juré The same federal register, worked into and out of French for the courts of Wallonia and the French-language courts of Brussels. Belgium has one national register, not one per language community: what changes is the language of proceedings. Sworn translators hold an official identity card and apply a legal seal to each translation. #### Switzerland Title Traducteur-Juré / Beglaubigte Übersetzung There is no federal sworn-translator register. Requirements are set canton by canton: Geneva and Vaud recognize official traducteurs-jurés, while German-speaking cantons more commonly require the translator's declaration to be notarized. The apostille is issued by the cantonal chancellery. #### Brazil Title Tradutor Público Juramentado Appointed by Brazilian state Junta Comercial. Required for any document presented to Brazilian public administration, courts, or notary registries (cartórios). #### Portugal Title Tradutor Certificado Certification via Portuguese notary or Cámara de Comercio. Portugal recognizes both Portuguese-certified translations and translations sworn in other EU member states. #### Hong Kong Title No sworn-translator regime Hong Kong maintains no unitary licensing regime for translators, and its system is separate from mainland China's. For administrative use a certified translation is a declaration of accuracy, usually executed as a statutory declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths or a notary. For court use the Judiciary's own Court Language Section certifies translations of documents and exhibits. Some destination authorities want a notary's seal rather than a Commissioner for Oaths signature, so confirm which is accepted before you commission. #### India Title No sworn-translator regime India has no national register of sworn translators. Notaries and court-approved panels are the usual route, and the requirements differ between High Courts and between receiving authorities. Check what the receiving court or authority requires before commissioning work. #### United States Title Certified Translation The US does not appoint sworn translators in the European sense. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document filed with USCIS must carry a full English translation certified by the translator as complete and accurate, with a statement of their competence to translate. No particular credential is mandated. Court requirements are set separately and vary by jurisdiction, so a translation prepared for USCIS should not be assumed to meet a federal or state court's own evidentiary standard. #### United Kingdom Title Certified Translation The UK uses a self-certification model. A CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) or ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting) member signs a Certificate of Accuracy. Accepted by UK Visas and Immigration, Home Office, and UK courts. #### Canada Title Certified Translator (CTTIC member associations) Province-by-province certification (OTTIAQ in Quebec, ATIO in Ontario, STIBC in BC, etc.). Translator's seal recognized by Canadian courts, IRCC, and provincial bodies. Apostille and Legalisation ### When You Need an Apostille on Top of the Translation An Apostille is a separate legalisation step required when a public document is being used in another country that signed the 1961 Hague Convention. Under Article 5 of the Convention it certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the signatory acted, and where relevant the identity of the seal or stamp. What an Apostille does not do is validate the content of the document. It says the signature is genuine, not that the statements inside are true or that a translation attached to it is accurate. Many translation projects need both: the sworn translation itself, plus an Apostille on the source document, the translation, or both. We coordinate the full chain where your destination requires it. - Apostille on the original document (issued by the country of origin) - Sworn or certified translation of the original (issued by a recognised translator in either country) - Apostille on the translation when the destination authority requires double-Apostille - Consular legalisation chain when the destination is not a Hague Convention signatory. Check current membership before assuming this applies: China joined the Convention with effect from 7 November 2023 and Saudi Arabia from 7 December 2022, so neither now needs the consular route. The United Arab Emirates is not a party. Tell us your destination country and the receiving authority and we will confirm exactly which steps your document needs and in what order. A sworn translation is only one step. Once the paperwork is accepted, most clients are dealing with housing, the padron and an NIE appointment at the same time, which is where [relocation services in Valencia](https://valenciamove.com/relocation-services/) take over from us. From Real Assignments ### What Sworn Translation Work Actually Looks Like A sample of recent requests, anonymized. This is the ordinary shape of the work: a receiving authority with particular wording rules, a legalization step that has to happen in the right order, a language pair that takes sourcing. #### Civil Status, Nationality, and Family Files - A Brussels-born applicant needed his birth certificate sworn-translated from Dutch into English to meet the exact wording HM Passport Office specifies. - A Belgian family with dual-national children had five birth certificates translated into English to support a British passport application. - A UK family relocating to the Costa Blanca sent three children's birth certificates and a marriage certificate for sworn translation into Spanish, specifying which pages to include. - Working with a Belgian humanitarian organization, we handled a Greek civil document for an asylum file with the Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons. - A Portuguese-speaking resident of Liege needed her birth certificate in French to support a Belgian nationality application. #### Company Registration and Corporate Filings - A UK company had its Articles of Association sworn-translated into Spanish by a MAEC-authorized translator to obtain a Spanish tax ID through Modelo 036. - An international compliance firm needed a notarized, apostilled Australian company registration extract translated into Spanish for a client in Malaga. - A French company needed a Dutch commercial contract translated ahead of a signature deadline, in the official quote format French corporate rules require. - A due-diligence firm set up a standing arrangement for sworn translations of company-register extracts across several jurisdictions. - A Belgian small-business owner needed a bilingual Turkish and English lease translated into French because the French landlord required it before signing. #### Courts, Notaries, and Legal Proceedings - An industrial equipment marketplace needed a statement of claim translated from German into Turkish for simultaneous use in German and Turkish proceedings. - A Brussels-area case required an Arabic to Dutch sworn translation for court use. - A cross-border property sale needed a Spanish deed of sale for a Venezuelan property, with two Venezuelan birth certificates, translated into French. #### Diplomas and Professional Recognition - A Belgian-trained physiotherapist had her bachelor's and master's diplomas translated into Spanish to have her qualification recognized for practice in Spain. - A French client had twelve pages of academic transcripts translated into English for admission to an Italian university. - A Romanian-speaking Belgian resident needed a work-history document translated urgently so an employer would recognize her prior experience. - A Belgian resident needed her driver's license sworn-translated into Portuguese. #### Language Pairs That Take Sourcing - Two personal documents into Uzbek, ahead of a wedding celebrated in Uzbekistan. - A Finnish civil document into Dutch, one of the Nordic pairs we source regularly. - A French document into Spanish for use in the Dominican Republic, needing a translator authorized in that jurisdiction and a mailed hard copy. #### Where We Push Back Not every request should be filled exactly as written. Catching the problem before a document reaches an authority is a large part of what this service is for. - Acting for a Spanish law firm, we found an error in a French power of attorney. It went back to the notary for correction before the sworn translation into Spanish could proceed. - A client asked for a certification type that is not valid in Singapore or Thailand.

Google review (FR), 2 years ago Translated from French ### Sworn Translation: Common Questions Any document submitted to a public authority, court, embassy, immigration office, or notary typically requires a sworn translation. Common examples include birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, legal contracts, court orders, and immigration documents. The exact requirement depends on the destination country and the receiving authority. The terminology varies by country. In the US, a [certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) includes a statement signed by the translator attesting to accuracy and completeness. In many European countries, a sworn translation is produced by a translator who has taken an official oath before a court or government authority. BeTranslated provides both formats. Contact us to confirm which is required for your destination. We format every certified and sworn translation to meet the requirements of embassies, consulates, USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, and immigration authorities across the EU and beyond, and we confirm the specific certification format with the receiving authority before delivery. Final acceptance is always the receiving authority's decision. No translation provider can guarantee it, and we would not claim otherwise. If you are unsure which format is needed, we advise based on your destination country. Standard documents such as birth certificates and diplomas are typically completed within 24 to 48 hours. Longer legal documents take longer depending on volume. [Expedited turnaround](https://betranslated.com/urgent-translation-services/) is available for urgent immigration deadlines and court filings. Contact us for a same-day quote with a confirmed timeline. Yes. In addition to sworn translation, we offer [interpretation services](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/interpreting-services/) for immigration office appointments, notary proceedings, and legal hearings. Both remote and on-site interpretation are available depending on location and notice period. We guarantee the translation. If the receiving authority raises a query, or the wording needs adjusting to suit a particular office, we work through it with you until the document is right. What no translation provider can guarantee is the decision on your application. USCIS approves no translation vendor, and no agency can promise an outcome on a file it does not control. What we can do is make sure the translation is never the reason a file stalls: complete, accurate, and carrying the signed certification the receiving body actually asks for.

The terminology varies by country. In the US, a certified translation includes a statement signed by the translator attesting to accuracy and completeness. In many European countries, a sworn translation is produced by a translator who has taken an official oath before a court or government authority. BeTranslated provides both formats. Contact us to confirm which is required for your destination. #### Do you provide interpretation for immigration appointments? Yes. In addition to sworn translation, we offer interpretation services for immigration office appointments, notary proceedings, and legal hearings. Both remote and on-site interpretation are available depending on location and notice period. --- ## Certified Translation Services Source: https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/ Submitting official documents to USCIS, a university, or a government agency abroad? Your translation needs a signed certification in the form the receiving authority asks for. We prepare that for filings in more than 50 countries. What Makes a Translation Certified? ### Certified Translation for Authorities, Courts, and Institutions A certified translation is one that comes with a signed statement from the translator (or the agency) confirming it is a true and complete representation of the original [official document](https://betranslated.com/document-translation-services/). That statement, together with the translator's name, qualifications, and contact details, is what makes the translation acceptable to [USCIS and immigration authorities](https://betranslated.com/document/uscis-certified-translations/), universities, government agencies, and courts. Without it, the document will typically be rejected. We issue certifications for filings across the US, the EU, and more than 50 other countries. Every certified translation includes the translator's full credentials, signature, and date. If your document needs to be sworn before a public notary or submitted to a court, that requires a higher level of legal attestation. In that case, take a look at our [Sworn Translation Services](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/). ### Certified Translation for Every Official Document #### Immigration Documents Visas, residency applications, work permits, and asylum documentation prepared as [USCIS-compliant certified translations](https://betranslated.com/document/uscis-certified-translations/). Prepared for filings with USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, EU immigration authorities, and national consulates. #### Academic Transcripts University diplomas, academic transcripts, school certificates, and professional qualifications handled through [official document translation](https://betranslated.com/document-translation-services/) for foreign universities, NARIC assessments, and professional licensing bodies. #### Business and Corporate Documents Company registration documents, articles of incorporation, board resolutions, shareholder agreements, and [audited financial statements](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/financial/) certified for cross-border operations and legal proceedings. #### Personal Documents Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, passports, national ID cards, and driver's licenses handled through [certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) for use abroad in legal, immigration, and official contexts. #### Medical Records Medical reports, clinical records, prescriptions, and health certificates handled by our [medical translation specialists](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/medical/) for insurance claims, cross-border medical treatment, and regulatory submissions. #### Legal Certificates Notarial acts, powers of attorney, court orders, and legal contracts handled through [certified legal translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) for foreign legal systems, international proceedings, and regulatory bodies. ### What Actually Decides Whether a Certified Translation Works Most rejected files are not badly translated. They are certified in the wrong form, apostilled in the wrong order, or missing a page the receiving office expected. The examples below are anonymized from recent assignments. #### The Apostille Usually Comes First An apostille is issued on the original document, and it carries text of its own. If the document is translated before the apostille is attached, the certified set is incomplete and the file goes back. One urgent request needed a Spanish document apostilled and only then sworn-translated into French for use in Saudi Arabia. Another involved a Canadian federal police clearance certificate that arrived already apostilled and was translated into Spanish the same day. #### Not Every Legalization Route Works in Every Country A client came to us for a legalization type their destination country does not accept. We flagged it and pointed them at the correct route rather than process an order that would have been unusable on arrival. This is worth asking about before you pay for anything. The apostille convention does not cover every country, and the alternative consular route has its own sequence. #### Some Files Need No Apostille at All A humanitarian organization relocating staff to Spain sent a marriage certificate, and later a divorce and legal name-change document. Neither needed an apostille for that use. Paying for legalization you do not need is common. Checking the receiving authority's actual rule first is faster and cheaper than undoing it. #### Which Pages Go In Is Part of the Instruction A UK family relocating to the Costa Blanca sent three children's birth certificates and a marriage certificate, and specified exactly which pages to include and which apostille pages to leave out. That instruction matters. A certified translation is certified as complete, so what counts as the document has to be settled before the certificate of accuracy is signed. #### Some Destinations Require a Locally Authorized Translator A UK company registering for a Spanish tax ID through Modelo 036 needed its Articles of Association translated by a translator authorized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A general certification would not have been accepted for that filing. The same applies in reverse: a French document destined for the Dominican Republic needed a translator authorized in that jurisdiction, and a physical copy in the post. #### Digital or Paper Is a Destination Question Some offices accept a signed PDF. Others still want an original with a wet signature, delivered by post, and will not look at anything else. We ask which one you need before we start, because it changes the turnaround and sometimes the translator we assign. #### What to Have Ready When You Ask for a Quote - The country the document is going to, and the specific office or authority receiving it. - Whether the receiving body has told you it needs a certified translation, a sworn one, or a notarized one. - Whether the original has been apostilled or legalized yet, and by whom. - Which pages of the original are part of the submission. - Whether you need a signed PDF, a posted hard copy, or both. - Any spelling of names that must match an existing passport, visa, or prior filing. ### Certifications Prepared for USCIS, Courts, and Official Bodies USCIS, EU Immigration Authorities, UK Visas and Immigration, Embassies and Consulates, Universities and NARIC, Notaries and Courts #### Need Court-Facing or Notarized Translation? For documents to be submitted to courts, sworn before a public notary, or used in formal legal proceedings, a sworn translation with full legal attestation is required. See our dedicated Sworn Translation Services. If the application behind the document is Spanish residency, there is also [Spanish residency paperwork](https://valenciamove.com/nie-residency-spain/) for the part that starts after the translation is accepted.

The statement includes the translator's name, qualifications, contact details, and the date of certification. This signed statement is what makes the translation legally acceptable to USCIS, universities, government agencies, and courts. Yes. USCIS requires that any document in a language other than English be accompanied by a full English translation along with a certification from a competent translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete, and that the translator is competent in both languages. Our certified translations are formatted to meet these exact USCIS requirements. Certified translation cost depends on the document type, word count, language pair, and turnaround time. Standard certified translations for common documents such as birth certificates, diplomas, and marriage certificates are typically quoted per page. Contact us for a free quote, which we return within one business day in most cases. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive immigration submissions. A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming accuracy, and is the form USCIS, universities, and most government agencies ask for. A sworn translation goes a step further: the translator signs the certification before a public notary or official authority, creating a legally attested document for courts, embassies, and proceedings that require a higher level of legal formality. If you are unsure which level your document needs, check the requirements of the receiving authority or contact us and we will advise. Most standard certified translations are delivered within 2 to 3 business days. Single-page documents such as birth certificates or identity cards can often be completed within 24 hours. Rush same-day service is available for straightforward documents submitted before midday. Contact us with your deadline and we will confirm availability. We guarantee the translation. If the receiving authority raises a query, or the wording needs adjusting to suit a particular office, we work through it with you until the document is right.

[Get a Free Quote](https://betranslated.com/translation-quote/), [Sworn Translation](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) ### What Notarized Translation Means A notarized translation is a translation accompanied by a [sworn translator affidavit](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) signed before a licensed notary public. The notary verifies the translator's identity and witnesses the affidavit, then affixes their seal and signature to the [translated document](https://betranslated.com/document-translation-services/). The result is a translation with an additional layer of formal authentication beyond a standard [certified document translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/). Notarized translation is required by some US courts, certain government agencies, particular school districts, and many international document legalization chains. It is not always required for [USCIS immigration submissions](https://betranslated.com/document/uscis-certified-translations/): a certified translation usually suffices for immigration. Always confirm the specific requirement with the receiving authority before ordering. Notarisation and legalisation usually travel together, and both tend to land in the middle of a move. For what follows once the documents clear, there is [relocation support in Spain](https://valenciamove.com/admin-support/). ### What You Get #### Notary Public Verification Translations accompanied by a notarized affidavit confirming the translator's identity and the accuracy of the translation. Notary seal and signature included. #### USCIS and Court Acceptance Notarized translations meeting US Citizenship and Immigration Services standards, plus state court and federal court acceptance requirements. #### International Document Chains Notarized translations supporting full document legalization chains: notary, county, secretary of state, and consular legalization or apostille where needed. #### Fast Turnaround Standard notarized translations delivered within 2 to 3 business days.

A notarized translation is a translation accompanied by an affidavit from the translator, sworn before a notary public, attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation. The notary verifies the translator's identity and signature; the notary does not verify the translation itself. #### Is a notarized translation the same as a certified translation? No. A certified translation includes a signed declaration of accuracy from the translator and is generally what USCIS and most US authorities require. A notarized translation adds a notary public seal that verifies the translator's identity. Some authorities specifically request notarized translation; others accept certified translation. #### Which documents typically require notarized translation? Notarized translation is most commonly required for documents submitted to certain US courts, some state government agencies, certain school districts, and international document chains requiring legalization or apostille. Always confirm the specific requirement with the receiving authority before ordering. 5.0/5.0 from 168 Google Reviews ### Notarized Translation Services: Talk to a Specialist Tell us what you need for notarized translation services.

[Get a Free Quote](https://betranslated.com/translation-quote/), [All Translation Services](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/) ### Buyers Prefer to Buy in Their Own Language CSA Research's 2020 'Can't Read, Won't Buy' study, which surveyed 8,709 consumers across 29 countries, puts the number at 76% of online buyers who prefer products carrying information in their own language, with 40% saying they will never buy from a site in another language at all. We have seen the same pattern with clients we have worked with since 2002: the French version of a site converts at a different rate than the English version, and rarely lower. Our job is to make sure the gap works in your favor. A localized website is not a courtesy gesture; it extends your [organic search reach](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) into new markets and positions you as a local presence rather than a foreign brand that happened to add a language switcher. ### Full-Service Website Translation and Localization #### Full and Partial Website Translation Translate your entire site or start with your highest-value pages. Partial translation of key content suits businesses beginning international expansion with a defined budget and a single target market. #### SEO-Oriented Translation Meta titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and invisible content translated and [optimized for local search](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/). Translating only the visible page content while leaving metadata in English means your site will not rank locally. #### AI Content Humanization AI-generated website content refined and localized by native-speaking specialists.

Full site translation is the right choice when you are committing fully to a new market. BeTranslated can recommend a phased approach based on your traffic and conversion data. SEO-oriented translation covers the invisible layer of your site: meta titles, descriptions, and image alt text. This is how search engines index your content in local markets. Translating only the visible page content while leaving metadata in English means your site will not rank for local search terms. We translate and optimize the full content layer. We support WordPress (including WPML and Polylang workflows), Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Contentful, and most enterprise CMS platforms. We deliver translations in the format your development team needs, including XLIFF, JSON, and direct database import. Ask us about your specific platform. We recommend starting with one language to validate demand and refine the localized user experience before scaling. French, German, and Spanish are the most common first choices for English-language businesses expanding in Europe. For e-commerce, the language of your highest-traffic foreign country is the natural starting point. We offer ongoing maintenance retainers for clients who regularly add or update content. Using translation memory, previously translated segments are reused automatically, so you only pay for new or changed content. Updates are typically turned around within 24 to 48 hours.

A German user and an American user have different [software expectations](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/it-technology/). A Japanese user reads a different visual hierarchy. When those details are wrong, users lose trust quickly, and your support queue fills up. ### Software Localization Services for UI, Docs, and Release Content #### UI Strings and Interface Copy Button labels, menu items, error messages, notifications, tooltips, and onboarding prompts localized within character limits. Terminology consistent across modules, tested against the live interface. #### Mobile Applications [Mobile app localization](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/it-technology/) for iOS and Android: UI, push notifications, in-app messages, and app store listings. Right-to-left layout adaptation for Arabic and Hebrew. CJK character encoding verified. #### Help Documentation and Support Content Knowledge base articles, [user guides, onboarding documentation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/), FAQs, and chatbot scripts localized into each target language. Consistent with the terminology used in the product UI. #### Legal and Compliance Text [Legal compliance localization](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) covering terms of service, privacy policies, GDPR consent flows, cookie notices, and disclaimers for each jurisdiction. French and Canadian language law requirements handled as standard. #### Localization File Format Support We work with .json, .xml, .po, .resx, .yml, .xliff, .html, and .srt files directly. No need to strip text from code: send us the resource files as-is and we return them translation-ready. #### Ongoing and Continuous Localization Agile and continuous localization for software that ships regularly. We integrate into your release cycle, handle incremental string updates, and maintain terminology consistency across versions. How We Localize ### Our Seven-Step Software Localization Workflow Built for engineering teams that ship continuously. We slot into your release cycle rather than blocking it. 1. #### Project Planning Target-market assessment, asset audit, glossary build, and locale priority list. We confirm encoding, layout, and regulatory requirements (French Toubon Law, Quebec Bill 101, RTL handling) before a single string is touched. 2. #### Content Extraction Translatable elements isolated from your codebase via CMS, TMS, or direct resource files. Strings extracted into XLIFF, JSON, or .po without exposing developers to translation tooling. Tag and placeholder integrity preserved. 3. #### Translation Native-language software specialists translate with full context: source language, screenshot reference, character limits, and component IDs. Pure human translation by default; MT plus full human post-editing available for high-volume string banks. 4. #### UI/UX Adaptation Layout adjustments for German and Spanish text expansion, RTL mirroring for Arabic and Hebrew, font fallback for CJK, and date and number format updates. We flag truncation and overflow risks before QA, not after. 5. #### Functional Testing Localized builds tested on real devices and locale settings. Verify that strings render correctly, currency and units convert, sort orders behave, and the product flows the way it does in the source language. Issues logged in your tracker, not ours. 6. #### Linguistic Quality Assurance Independent native-speaking review of the live UI with a focus on tone, terminology consistency, and cultural fit. LQA scores and revision rounds tracked.

Google review (INTL), 3 years ago ### Software Localization: Common Questions Translation focuses on converting text between languages. Localization adapts the entire user experience, including date and number formats, currency, icons, UI conventions, and cultural context, so the software feels native to users in the target market. For software products, localization consistently outperforms simple translation in user adoption and retention. Machine translation can accelerate the process for high-volume string files, but human review by a [native-language software specialist](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/it-technology/) is required. UI copy has strict character limits, requires consistent terminology across modules, and must match the tone and conventions of the target market's software culture. We offer MT with post-editing for cost efficiency on large projects. German and Spanish text can be 20-30% longer than the equivalent English, which breaks UI layouts if not handled at design stage. We flag expansion risks during translation and work with your development team to adjust string length constraints, truncation rules, and responsive layout behavior. Yes. We integrate into agile release cycles, handling incremental string updates between sprints. We maintain a project-specific glossary and translation memory so new strings stay consistent with existing localized content. Contact us to discuss your release cadence and we will propose a workflow.

Each one has its own page covering the format, the certification, and the turnaround it needs. What We Translate ### The Document Type Decides the Translator A trade certificate destined for customs clearance needs a different translator from an academic journal paper submitted for international publication. A [marriage certificate](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) heading to a government registry needs different handling from a corporate loan agreement going to a bank's [legal translation team](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/). The subject area matters as much as the language pair, and we assign every document to a translator who specializes in both. We work with all standard formats: scanned PDFs, DOCX files, Excel spreadsheets, HTML exports, and multi-format [technical documentation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/) files. For projects involving multiple documents, we maintain a project-specific glossary and translation memory so your terminology is consistent across every file.

A federal court hearing, a hospital triage, a cross-border merger negotiation, and a UN-style multi-language conference each demand a different mode, a different specialist profile, and different equipment. We match interpreters to assignments by language pair, subject specialism, accreditation, and operational logistics. Our network covers 50+ languages. [On-site interpreting](https://betranslated.com/on-site-interpreting-services/) is concentrated across 49 European cities, extends to 27 more in Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, and runs remotely anywhere. Equipment provisioning, booth setup, audio engineering, and platform integration (Zoom, Webex, KUDO, Interprefy) are all handled in-house so the assignment runs without surprises on the day. Interpreting Formats ### Four Modes to Match Every Setting Each interpreting mode suits a different context. Choose the format that fits your event, venue, and audience size. [#### Consecutive Ideal for meetings, depositions, and GP appointments The speaker pauses at natural intervals and the interpreter renders each passage into the target language. No equipment is required, making it the most flexible on-site format.](https://betranslated.com/on-site-interpreting-services/consecutive/), [#### Simultaneous Real-time via headsets and booths for 30+ minute sessions The interpreter renders speech in real time while the speaker continues without pause. Listener headsets receive the output directly from a sound-isolated booth.](https://betranslated.com/on-site-interpreting-services/simultaneous/), [#### Whispered (Chuchotage) No equipment; interpreter whispers to 1-2 listeners in confidential settings The interpreter sits beside a small group of listeners and renders speech in a low voice without any technical equipment.

Group size, room layout, the programme for the day, and how far the interpreter has to travel decide more than the language pair does. The examples below are anonymized from recent bookings. #### What Decides the Setup ##### Group Size Can Change the Staffing An energy-sector client needed an interpreter at short notice for a workplace safety training at their Zaragoza plant. Once the group size became clear, the job needed two interpreters rather than one, and we corrected the quote before the day rather than send one person into a session they could not sustain. ##### The Programme Decides the Equipment A trade-union training seminar in Houffalize needed bilingual and trilingual interpreting across the day. We recommended a booth or a portable system based on what the programme actually looked like, room by room. ##### Travel Is Part of the Booking A Brussels business delegation needed whispered French to Czech interpreting with an early start. The interpreter travelled in the evening before, because arriving on the morning of a 9am session is not a plan. ##### Send the Programme, Not Just the Date An international network booking simultaneous interpreting for its annual seminar supplied the full programme in advance. That is the single most useful thing a client can send. ##### We Say No When It Is Not a Fit A corporate compliance and traceability firm asked for interpreting at a meeting whose technical requirements we did not think we could meet properly. We reviewed it and declined. ##### Remote Is a Real Option, Not a Downgrade A Spanish manufacturer needed Spanish and German interpreting for a first video call with a prospective distributor. A first exploratory call does not justify flying anyone anywhere. #### Recent Interpreting Assignments ##### Institutional and Public Sector - A cross-border cooperation body ran a formal tender for up to three hours of French, Dutch, and English interpreting at a 250-person EU-funded launch event. - Ongoing interpreting support for an EU-level advisory body's working meetings on a regulated industry sector. - A Dutch city government booked interpreting for staff attending an event in Brussels. - An on-site interpreting request tied to a Member of the European Parliament's schedule, around three hours. - A combined translation and interpreting package for an institutional event at a hotel conference venue, planned around 250 attendees. ##### Legal, Court, and Notarial - A Spain-based individual, fluent in English with only basic Spanish, needed a court interpreter for his own divorce hearing. - English and Spanish interpreting for a signing appointment at a notary's office in Valencia. - A law firm requested interpreting for ongoing legal proceedings. ##### Technical and Industrial Training - Consecutive and simultaneous Spanish and English interpreting for an occupational health and safety training at an industrial plant in Zaragoza. - French and Spanish simultaneous interpreting for a global packaging manufacturer's technical staff training. - Bilingual and trilingual interpreting for a trade-union training seminar, with the equipment specified from the programme. ##### Commercial and Corporate - Spanish and German interpreting for a security-gate manufacturer's first video call with a prospective European distributor. - Interpreting for an agri-food client's business meetings. - Whispered French to Czech interpreting for a business delegation visiting Brussels. - A recurring Japanese and French consecutive booking for a luxury flagship's VIP client appointments. ### Interpreting Services: Frequently Asked Questions Remote interpretation suits webinars, virtual conferences, and international meetings where flying in an interpreter would be costly or impractical. On-site is usually the better choice for complex legal proceedings, sensitive medical consultations, and large in-person conferences where booth infrastructure is already installed. A hybrid setup is also possible, with some interpreters on-site and others connecting remotely. For large multilingual conferences, book two to three months ahead, especially for rare language pairs or specialist subject areas. Smaller meetings and remote interpreting can often be arranged with two weeks' notice. Last-minute bookings for complex events carry real quality risk, so earlier is always better. Send as much context as possible: the agenda, speaker notes or slides, a glossary of key terminology, and a clear brief on format and audience. The more an interpreter understands before the event starts, the more accurate and natural the output will be. Not for high-stakes settings. AI-assisted tools improve terminology management and productivity for human interpreters, but full machine interpretation still cannot reliably handle cultural nuance, contextual ambiguity, or the accountability that legal and medical communication demands. For quality-critical work, human interpretation remains the standard. Interpreting is spoken and happens live: the interpreter conveys what is said in a meeting, hearing, or conference as it happens. Translation is written: a translator works on documents, websites, or subtitles and delivers a finished text. The two call for different skills, so an event often needs both, with the slides and handouts translated beforehand and the live sessions interpreted. Speakers and listeners join through a meeting platform with a separate interpretation channel, such as the language interpretation feature in Zoom, or a dedicated RSI platform. The interpreters listen and speak from their own soundproofed setup, and each participant picks the language they want to hear. As in a booth, two interpreters per language take turns, and a technical check before the event is part of the booking. We arrange interpreters for the major business languages, such as French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Russian, and for many less common pairs. Each major language has its own interpreting page with its regional variants. For a rarer combination, tell us early, because the pool of qualified interpreters is smaller. On-site interpreting is usually priced by the half day or full day, and short remote calls by the hour. The price depends on the mode, the language pair, the subject, the length of the event, the number of interpreters, travel, and any booth or headset hire. We send a written quote with each of those items before anything is booked.

Keyword research, content, and technical setup are tailored per market, not translated from English. Here is the trap: you translate your English keyword list, push the new pages live, and wait for traffic that never arrives. A Spanish customer searching for legal advice does not type the translation of "legal advice for small business" into Google. They search asesoramiento jurídico para autónomos: different intent, different competition, completely different SERP. The fix is to research each market in its own language, with people who live there. Our long-form guide to [international SEO strategy](https://betranslated.com/digital/international-seo/) walks through the discipline in depth. ### A Real Multilingual SEO Program, Start to Finish #### Valencia Law Firm Wins International Clients +200% International inquiries in 6 months 4 Languages launched Top 10 Multilingual rankings secured A Valencia law firm serving foreign entrepreneurs and expatriates had a Spanish-only site invisible to the international clients it wanted.

It requires understanding how your target audience performs multilingual searches in their own language, which terms they actually use, and how [search intent](https://betranslated.com/digital/international-seo/) differs between markets. A direct translation of your English keywords will rarely match the way people search in French, German, or Japanese. BeTranslated combines language expertise with digital marketing knowledge to deliver SEO translations that rank. We research keywords natively in each target language, optimize meta tags and on-page elements, write SEO-friendly content for your website or blog, and manage Google Ads campaigns in multiple languages.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your content extracted into Google Featured Snippets, People Also Ask, and the short AI summaries at the top of the page. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets your brand cited inside the longer narrative answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. The three share fundamentals (clear definitions, schema.org markup, topical authority, original data) but reward different content patterns. We run them as one integrated program in every target language. Multilingual SEO is the practice of optimizing a website to achieve strong search engine rankings across multiple languages and regions. It combines native-language keyword research, technically correct hreflang tagging, culturally adapted on-page content, and international link building tailored to each target market. Because local search engines such as Baidu in China and Yandex in Russia have their own ranking signals, an effective [international SEO strategy](https://betranslated.com/digital/international-seo/) addresses each market's dominant search environment, not just Google. Translation converts words from one language to another. Multilingual SEO converts search intent. Keywords, search volume, and phrasing differ significantly across languages. A phrase that drives traffic in English often has no equivalent search volume in French, while a different term captures all the demand. We research each market independently rather than translating from English. Hreflang is an HTML attribute that tells Google which language version of a page to serve to which audience. Without it, Google may show the wrong language version to users, treat your multilingual pages as duplicate content, and dilute search engine rankings across every language. Any site targeting more than one language or region needs hreflang. It works alongside your URL structure decision: whether you use country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), subdirectories, or subdomains affects how hreflang is implemented and how link equity flows across your international pages. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) structures content so your brand surfaces as a cited source in AI answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. Traditional SEO targets blue-link rankings; GEO targets the citations LLMs use to compose responses. The two overlap on crawlability, schema markup, and topical depth but diverge on tactics: GEO emphasises schema.org entity coverage, citation-worthy content patterns (clear definitions, original data, structured comparisons), and the trust signals LLMs are trained to weight. Our SEO and GEO programs run together, not as separate workstreams. Yes, and this is one of the highest-impact parts of our multilingual SEO work right now. AI search systems do not just translate English answers across languages: each language model surfaces a different set of authoritative sources per language, and a brand cited in English may be invisible in French, German, or Mandarin. We map the citation pattern per language, identify the topical gaps where your brand can become a source, and build the entity-rich content and structured data that makes citation likely. The work pairs naturally with traditional multilingual SEO because both rely on native-language topical authority. Most clients see measurable ranking movement within three to six months, with traffic gains building steadily over 12 to 18 months. New language pages on an aged domain typically rank faster than a completely new site. Local link building in each target market accelerates this timeline by establishing domain authority with local search engines and relevant referring domains. We report monthly so you can track progress at every stage. We report per language pair, never in aggregate, because a global average hides every problem worth fixing. The headline metrics: keyword rankings for your target terms in each language (Google.de, Google.fr, Baidu, Yandex included); organic traffic per language and per country, split by intent; conversion rate by language, since a translated page can rank well and still convert at half the source-language rate; and SERP visibility share against named competitors per market. We also monitor CTR per language, technical SEO health per locale (Core Web Vitals, hreflang validity, crawl errors), and ROI per language calculated as revenue or pipeline contribution against fees. Tooling: GA4 and Search Console as the source of truth, Ahrefs and Semrush for keyword and competitor visibility, Sistrix for DACH, Moz where the client already has it. Monthly report maps every metric to a recommended next action. Standard translation converts content accurately from one language to another. SEO translation adapts that content for how people search in the target language. This includes native keyword research, adjustment of keyword density, optimization of meta elements, and cultural adaptation of phrases. The goal is content that ranks in local search engines, not just content that reads correctly. Yes. We create and manage [Google Ads campaigns](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/paid-ads/) in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Mandarin, and more.

Keyword research, hreflang, URL architecture, content strategy, and the AI visibility layer most agencies miss. By [Mike Bastin](https://betranslated.com/digital/about/) · Founder and CEO, Last updated September 30, 2026 Quick Answer ### What Is International SEO? International SEO is the practice of optimizing a website so search engines serve the right language and regional version to each market. It covers hreflang tags, localized keyword research, URL structure, in-market content, and local link building. Done well, it wins organic traffic in markets that do not speak English. ### What International SEO Actually Requires Each pillar is a separate discipline. Most agencies handle one or two. We handle all six. #### Market-Specific Keyword Research Translating your English keyword list produces a list of phrases real users rarely type. Every target market requires fresh native-language research using regional search data, not a dictionary pass over your existing terms. #### Hreflang and Technical Setup Hreflang tags tell search engines which page is for which language and region, so the right version reaches the right searcher. Getting the syntax, scope, and return-tag logic right is non-trivial. #### URL Structure and Site Architecture Subdirectories on a single domain (betranslated.com/fr/) outperform subdomains (fr.betranslated.com) for most businesses because they consolidate domain authority. ccTLDs (betranslated.fr) make sense at scale with dedicated budgets. #### Native Content and Localization Content written natively in the target language outperforms translated content on both quality and ranking signals. Localization extends beyond words: imagery, tone, cultural references, units, currency, and date formats all affect bounce rate. #### Local Link Building Domain authority earned from English-language sites does not fully transfer to your French or German pages. Each language version needs backlinks from publishers in that market. Local PR, directory listings, and partnerships build country-specific authority. #### GEO and AI Visibility ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity now answer commercial queries before users reach a search results page. Structured data, authoritative content, and brand mentions in local language publications determine whether your brand appears in these AI responses. Why International SEO Matters 60% of consumers prefer websites in their native language 70% conversion rate increase from properly localized content $6.9T projected global digital sales in 2025, most of it outside English 3-6mo typical timeline for measurable ranking movement in new markets Sources: eMarketer, Global E-commerce Forecast 2025; LinkedIn / Multilingual SEO Statistics, 2024. ### Multilingual Search Strategy for Businesses Ready to Grow Beyond Their Home Market Reaching international customers used to take a big budget and an even bigger team. Not anymore. With e-commerce expanding fast and AI reshaping how people find products and services, small and mid-sized businesses can now compete for buyers anywhere in the world, provided they get their international SEO right. > Around 58% of internet users shop online, and global digital sales are projected to reach $6.9 trillion in 2025. > > Source: eMarketer, Global E-commerce Forecast 2025 When I started working with multilingual websites in the early days of BeTranslated, the advice was simple: translate the page, add a language switcher, call it done. Years of watching rankings tank, and then recover, taught me that international SEO is a different discipline entirely. Translating your content is step one of maybe fifteen. The ground has also shifted under everyone's feet. Optimizing for Google and Bing is no longer the whole game, because large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude now shape how people research purchases, often before they visit a search engine at all. Successful international SEO means making your website visible and relevant across every country, language, device, and search environment. Websites built only with English and Google in mind are already leaving international traffic on the table. Below is the practical framework we use to help websites rank across multiple countries and languages. It covers keyword research, content localization, technical SEO, schema markup, and link building. ### SEO and Content Have to Work Together Before getting into the mechanics, one foundational point is worth making explicitly: SEO alone does not cut it. Without quality content behind it, your SEO work attracts visitors who leave immediately because there is nothing worth reading. Quality content without SEO has the opposite problem. It sits unread: well written, well structured, and completely invisible. International SEO amplifies both sides of that equation. When you expand into new language markets, you are not just translating words; you are rebuilding the SEO and content relationship from scratch in each market. A well-structured SEO strategy strengthens a site's authority, gets pages indexed, and helps content climb the rankings over time. Search engines update their algorithms constantly, so staying current with ranking signals such as user behavior, technical optimization, and link building is part of the ongoing work. ### Why Translating Your Website Is Not Enough People often confuse website translation with website localization, and the difference matters more than most realize. Website translation converts your existing written content into another language. [Website localization](https://betranslated.com/blog/website-localization-guide/) goes further: it adapts the entire experience for a target market, including images, design elements, cultural references, currency formats, and tone. If you are on a tight budget, translation alone can get you started. If you want to rank and convert in a foreign market, localization is what separates the sites that perform from the ones that sit unnoticed. One thing is non-negotiable regardless of budget: human translators. Native speakers can tell the difference between a text that has been machine-translated and one written by an experienced bilingual professional. It is worth being precise about the search risk, because the usual version of this claim is wrong. Google's [spam policies](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials/spam-policies) do not list machine-translated text as a violation. What they do target is scaled content abuse: pages generated in volume "for the primary purpose of manipulating search rankings and not helping users," which can rank lower or not appear at all. Machine translation only lands there when it is used to mass-produce pages nobody checked. A translated page that is genuinely useful is not penalized for having started in a machine. The bigger cost is nuance: the phrases people actually use to search in that language, the cultural context that makes content feel trustworthy, and the register that suits a legal document versus a product page. An Indian translator, for instance, knows that "contact center" and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) are interchangeable in their market, and knows when to use each for maximum SEO value. If you are looking for [professional website translation services](https://betranslated.com/website-translation-services/) that keep your SEO intact, we can help. ### International Keyword Research: Think Local, Not Literal Keyword research is where most international SEO campaigns get off to a bad start. The instinct is to take your best English keywords, plug them into a translation tool, and use whatever comes out. That almost never reflects what people in the target market are actually searching for. Search behavior is culturally shaped. People in Germany phrase product queries differently from people in Austria, even though both markets use German, and French speakers in Belgium use different vocabulary from those in France. You need to perform keyword research for each country and language you target, not just translate your existing keyword list. Tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz let you filter keyword suggestions and search volume by language and location, so use them to answer the real question: what are people in this specific market searching for, and in what words? Pairing an SEO strategist with a native-speaker translator is the most reliable way to handle [unfamiliar-language keyword research](https://betranslated.com/blog/keyword-research-unfamiliar-language/). It is also how our [multilingual keyword research](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/multilingual-keyword-research/) service works. Do not forget metadata. Title tags, meta descriptions, and image alt text all need to be translated and optimized for each target language. Localized metadata is one of the cheapest changes you can make to a multilingual site, and one of the most effective. ### Build a Content Calendar Around Your International Keywords Once you know what your target markets are searching for, the next step is planning how and when you publish. A content calendar is a roadmap for consistency and relevance. Map out topics based on your localized keyword research and the search trends in each market. Every piece you publish should be relevant to your audience there and optimized for the search terms they actually use. The approach varies by industry. A [legal translation agency](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) targeting a new European market might focus on jurisdiction-specific terminology and local regulatory content, while an [e-commerce brand](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/e-commerce/) might plan content around seasonal shopping trends in each country. A SaaS company might prioritize tutorials and comparison pages localized for each language audience. Planning around a local calendar puts your content in front of people at the moment they are looking for it, which is what actually drives rankings and conversions. ### Use Content Hubs and Pillar Pages for Each Language One of the most effective structural approaches for [multilingual SEO](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) is the content hub model. A pillar page covers a broad topic in depth, and cluster articles (shorter, more specific pieces) link back to that pillar and to each other. Search engines read that internal linking structure as a signal of topical authority. When you replicate it in each target language, you are not just translating content; you are building a topical authority footprint in that market. A translation agency targeting the French market, for example, might build a pillar page around "services de traduction professionnels" with cluster articles on legal translation, [marketing translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/marketing/), and [technical translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/), all internally linked and localized for French search behavior. The hub structure improves navigation and builds the kind of [global search visibility](https://betranslated.com/blog/global-visibility/) that isolated pages cannot replicate. ### Hreflang Tags: How You Tell Search Engines Which Page Goes Where One of the most common technical mistakes on multilingual websites is failing to implement hreflang tags correctly. When you have content in multiple languages, search engines need to know which version of a page to serve to which user. Missing hreflang is not a penalty, and it is worth saying so plainly. Google's documentation on [localized page versions](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/localized-versions) says it "might still find alternate language versions of your page" without any annotation at all. What you lose is control. Google picks which version to show, and it may serve your English page to a French searcher who would have converted on the French one. Its [duplicate-URL guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls) describes the same mechanism for near-identical pages: one gets chosen as canonical, and the others are filtered out of results. That is lost traffic, not a demotion. Hreflang is an HTML attribute that signals the language and geographic target of each page. It looks like this: hreflang="fr-be" for French speakers in Belgium, or hreflang="de" for German speakers regardless of country. A few rules keep it working. Hreflang targets specific countries, not broad regions, so you can target France or Germany but not "Europe." Every language version of a page must reference all the other versions in its set, including itself, and an x-default tag marks the fallback page for users who match no specific language or region. You can add hreflang tags in the page's HTML head, in your XML sitemap, or via HTTP headers. If you run a WordPress site, WPML handles hreflang automatically across your language versions, which is one reason so many multilingual sites run on it. For a technical review of your own setup, our [hreflang and geo-targeting](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/hreflang-and-geo-targeting/) service covers the common errors and how to fix them. ### URL Structure: Country Domains vs. Subdirectories vs. Subdomains How you structure your URLs has a direct impact on how search engines and users perceive the geographic relevance of your content. Three main approaches exist. Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) give you the clearest geographic signal: a .de domain tells Google you are targeting Germany. The trade-off is cost and complexity, because you need to purchase, maintain, and build authority for each separate domain. Subdirectories on a generic TLD (for example, betranslated.com/de/) keep your domain authority consolidated and are easier to manage. Search Console retired its country-targeting setting in 2022, so hreflang and in-market signals such as local links, currency, and contact details now tell Google which country each subdirectory serves. Subdomains (de.betranslated.com) offer a middle ground, though Google tends to treat subdomains more like separate sites than subdirectories. For most growing businesses, subdirectories on a single domain are the most practical starting point. For established brands targeting a handful of key markets long-term, ccTLDs can be worth the investment. ### Schema Markup: Your Edge in Both Search and AI-Powered Discovery Schema markup is structured data that helps search engines and AI tools understand what your page is actually about, not just what it says. For multilingual websites, it gives you two meaningful advantages. First, it increases your chances of earning rich results in Google, such as review stars, breadcrumbs, and event details. Second, and increasingly important, it helps AI-powered search tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity identify your content as a trustworthy source worth citing. AI-powered search relies on structured data to pull relevant answers quickly. If your content uses schema correctly, you stand a much better chance of appearing in AI-generated responses, especially for multilingual queries where language, location, and expertise all need to be clear. For an international website, the most useful schema types are Organization (company details, logo, contact information), FAQPage (question-and-answer content), Article or BlogPosting (content type, author, publish date), BreadcrumbList (site structure), and LocalBusiness (region-specific services or offices). Implement schema as JSON-LD in your page's head section, then validate it with [Google's Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results). Our [multilingual SEO team](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) can handle schema markup as part of a broader SEO engagement. ### Localizing Content: More Than Words on a Page Content localization is what transforms a translated website into one that actually feels native to its audience. It goes beyond swapping out words: cultural references, imagery, date formats, currency symbols, legal disclaimers, and tone of voice all need to match the expectations of the market you are targeting. > 60% of consumers prefer viewing websites in their native language, and companies that localize their content see conversion rate increases of up to 70%. > > Source: LinkedIn / Multilingual SEO Statistics, 2024 A 70% conversion rate increase is not marginal. Multimedia needs the same care: videos need voiceovers or subtitles in the target language, and infographics with embedded text need redesigning, not just overlaying. Images should reflect the visual culture of your target market wherever possible. If your site carries [translated infographics](https://betranslated.com/blog/infographics-translation/) or [subtitled video content](https://betranslated.com/blog/video-translation/), the same keyword and localization principles apply to those assets too. Include alt text on every image, using localized keywords where they fit naturally. For videos, add captions and transcripts in the target language, both for accessibility and to give search engines more indexable content to work with. For a full breakdown of services covering text and audiovisual content, see our [audiovisual translation services](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/audiovisual/). ### Local Link Building: Earning Authority in Each Market Backlinks from websites in your target country and language send local relevance signals that are hard to replicate any other way. A link from a well-regarded French business publication tells Google your French content belongs in French search results. The work involved is real. You need to write guest posts in the target language, run outreach with local publishers, and build relationships with businesses and organizations in each market, which means your translation team is part of link building too, not just page creation. Complementary tactics include creating Google Business Profiles for each location you serve, getting listed in country-specific directories, and engaging your target audience on the social platforms they actually use. Our [multilingual content marketing](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/content-marketing/) work covers the point where link building and content production meet. ### Putting It All Together: Execution Beats Planning International SEO involves a lot of moving pieces: keyword research per language, hreflang setup, URL structure decisions, content localization, schema markup, and local link building. The planning matters, but execution is what gets you rankings. Start with the markets that offer the best return, researching competitor presence, search volume, and conversion likelihood before committing resources. Then build out one market at a time rather than trying to launch ten languages simultaneously. Measure everything. Use Google Search Console with country filters, and set up separate tracking views for each language version of your site, so the data tells you which markets to double down on and which to deprioritize. Pay attention to engagement signals too: time on page, scroll depth, and bounce rate show whether your localized content is resonating or just showing up. If visitors leave quickly, the keyword targeting is usually off, the localization is thin, or the user experience does not suit that market. Track keyword rankings per market using tools like [Ahrefs Rank Tracker](https://ahrefs.com/) or [SEMrush Position Tracking](https://www.semrush.com/), and check conversion rates to understand whether traffic is turning into real business outcomes. Refreshing existing content is also part of the work. Updating localized pages with new data, current market context, or improved keyword targeting keeps them relevant and signals that the site is actively maintained. A page that ranked well two years ago in German or Dutch may need a refresh as local search behavior evolves and competitors improve. At BeTranslated, our language teams cover [French translation](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/french/), [German translation](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/german/), [Dutch translation](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/dutch/), [Spanish translation](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/spanish/), and [Chinese translation](https://betranslated.com/language-translation/chinese/), among many other pairs, combining [professional translators](https://betranslated.com/professional-translators/) with multilingual SEO know-how so your content ranks and converts.

Setting clear KPIs before you launch each market makes it possible to evaluate what is working and where to adjust. Organic traffic growth is the most direct indicator. If more visitors find your localized pages through search engines in each target country, your keywords, backlinks, and content are doing their job. Engagement metrics tell you whether visitors actually want what they found. High bounce rates on a newly localized page often signal a mismatch between the keyword that brought the visitor and the content they landed on, which is a localization quality problem as much as an SEO one. Conversion rate is the bottom-line metric: are readers in each market requesting a quote, signing up, or making a purchase? Content that converts in one language market may need different messaging, tone, or calls to action in another. Keyword rankings per market, tracked over time in [Ahrefs keyword reports](https://ahrefs.com/) or [SEMrush keyword reports](https://www.semrush.com/), show how your localized content performs against local competitors. Use Google Search Console filtered by country to see impressions, clicks, and average position for each language version of your site. The BeTranslated Difference ### International SEO Expertise and Translation Strategy in One Team Most SEO agencies outsource the language work. Most translation agencies do not understand search intent. The gap between those two disciplines is where international campaigns fail - translated copy that ignores local search intent, or [SEO campaigns](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) built without native language review. BeTranslated has been running multilingual SEO since before it had a name. Our translators are briefed on keyword targets before they write, which is how our [SEO translation](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) work consistently outperforms generic localization. Our SEO strategists speak the languages they optimize for. You get one team, one brief, one strategy. [Multilingual SEO Service Full-service SEO across 50+ languages](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/), [SEO Translation Services ↗ Language-specific SEO on betranslated.com](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) ### Google Is Not the Whole Picture Google dominates in most Western markets, but international SEO means thinking about the search engines your target audience actually uses. Each engine has its own algorithm and ranking factors, so a Google-only strategy can leave you invisible where your most valuable customers live. Baidu, for example, favors websites with an ICP (Internet Content Provider) license and servers hosted in China. Research which engines dominate each target country before building your campaign, and let that shape your technical choices. Market Primary Search Engine Key Consideration China Baidu Requires simplified Chinese content and separate technical setup Russia Yandex Yandex holds the majority of Russian search traffic South Korea Naver Blog-heavy content ecosystem with different ranking signals Japan Yahoo Japan Powered by Google but with locally-weighted algorithm factors Czech Republic Seznam Holds significant share against Google in Czech searches Western Europe Google Dominant across FR, DE, ES, IT, NL, PL with local algorithm nuances ### International SEO Questions Answered International SEO is the practice of optimizing a website to rank in multiple countries or languages. The core difference from regular SEO is that you are targeting separate search indexes for each market, which requires market-specific keyword research, hreflang signals, and in many cases native-language content creation rather than translation. Search behavior varies significantly even between countries that share a language. German users in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland search differently for the same product. A direct translation of an English keyword rarely matches the phrases local users type. Every market requires fresh native-language keyword research using regional search volume data. Hreflang tags are HTML attributes that tell Google which page to serve to which language or regional audience. Missing them is not a penalty, but without them Google chooses which version to show and may send French searchers to your English page. If you have content in more than one language, hreflang is how you keep that choice in your hands. For most businesses, subdirectories on a single domain (example.com/fr/) are the best choice. They consolidate domain authority, are easier to maintain, and perform well in Google's international targeting signals. Country-code top-level domains (example.fr) make sense only if you have the budget to build authority separately for each domain. Local SEO targets customers in a specific geographic area, such as a city, region, or country, typically in a single language. International SEO scales that approach across multiple countries and languages at once, which adds technical steps like hreflang tags, localized content, and market-specific keyword research. Machine translation can produce a rough draft, but it is rarely enough on its own. Google's spam policies do not penalize translated text as such; they target pages mass-produced to manipulate rankings. The real cost is quality: machine output misses the cultural nuance and search intent that make content rank and convert, so human translators with SEO awareness remain the reliable path. Schema markup tells search engines and AI tools the language, location, topic, and type of content on each page. For multilingual websites, it reduces ambiguity and improves eligibility for rich results in each target market. Well-implemented schema also improves the likelihood of your content being cited in AI-generated answers. In moderately competitive markets, expect measurable ranking movement within three to six months of publishing well-optimized native-language content with correct technical setup. Highly competitive markets or those requiring significant link building will take longer. Tracking should use Google Search Console filtered by country alongside local rank trackers.

Whether you are in highly regulated finance or fast-moving consumer goods, our in-country specialists brief and write [market-specific content](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/content-marketing/) that respects local industry nuances, rather than just translating from a master English calendar. If you are still pushing the same English-language post translated into five other languages, you are paying to be ignored. Every market has its own preferred platform, its own humour, and its own idea of what an acceptable brand voice sounds like. A LinkedIn post that lands as professional in the DACH region can read as stiff in Italy and slightly desperate in the US. We do not adapt from an English template. We brief and produce natively for each market, then run engagement in local business hours so replies land while the conversation is still happening. We know which moderation calls keep your brand inside local advertising and consumer-protection rules, market by market. ### Full-Service Multilingual Social [#### Short-Form Video Creation TikTok, Reels, and Shorts produced end to end with native-language scripts, captions, and platform-native edits.

Pushing your English ads through a translation tool is the most expensive way to learn that paid media is local. The headline that wins in English may be technically correct in French and emotionally flat in French at the same time. Quality Score punishes that flatness with higher CPCs, and your ROAS quietly bleeds. Our native-speaking PPC teams write ad copy in the target language from the brief, not from your English ad. We research the actual phrases your buyers type, build landing pages that match, and tune everything to the conversion goal you actually care about, not the click. ### Specialized Paid Ad Programs Six channel-specific paid media programs: Google Ads, Meta and TikTok social, programmatic display, shopping feeds, remarketing, and campaign management.

Google review (SL), 2 months ago Translated from Spanish ### Frequently Asked Questions We work with Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads, TikTok Ads, and Apple Search Ads. Platform recommendations depend on your target market: search behavior and platform dominance differ significantly by country. We also account for local ad regulations when entering new markets, since advertising rules for financial services, healthcare, and other regulated categories vary substantially across regions. Machine translation produces technically correct but commercially flat copy. Paid ads need to land emotionally, reflect local culture, and match the search behavior of your audience in that language. We write ads natively in each language: your English copy is a brief, not a source text. Both options are available. We can manage the full campaign - strategy, [keyword research](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/), bid management, creative, copy, and reporting - or work alongside your in-house PPC team as a multilingual localization layer. The scope is agreed at the start of each engagement. We set up unified tracking with cross-campaign reporting so you see ROAS and CPA per language, per market, and in aggregate. We integrate with your existing analytics stack - Google Analytics 4, HubSpot, Salesforce, or any other platform you already use. Budget depends on market competitiveness, platform, and campaign goal. We do not enforce a minimum but will tell you honestly when a budget is too small to generate useful data. We will give you a market-specific recommendation during your free strategy call.

[Get a Free Quote](https://betranslated.com/digital-marketing-quote/?service=Content+Marketing), [View All Services](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/) ### Content Marketing Services Built Around Local Search Intent There is a reason machine-translated blog posts plateau at page 5 of Google and never get cited by an AI Overview. Search engines and the new generation of language models converge on the same signals: clear definitions, original data, citation-worthy structure, demonstrated first-hand expertise. Content that has been auto-translated and lightly edited fails these tests in every language it touches. The result is a content program that produces traffic on paper and revenue from nobody. Our writers start in the target language, not in English, so the underlying argument is built around what their audience actually believes and asks. This is especially critical for regulated sectors like finance, life sciences, and legal, where a mistranslated technical term or missing compliance disclaimer doesn't just hurt SEO, it creates liability. Our financial content writers work to the same bar as our financial translators: CFA, ACA, ACCA, or equivalent qualifications, or deep sector-specific editorial experience. Whether you are a scale-up building thought leadership in a new market or an enterprise managing 10+ regional content streams, we produce content that reads as native, not translated, in every market you operate in. ### A Four-Step Production Workflow 1 #### Native Keyword Research and Briefing Tools: local SERP tools and Google Keyword Planner Keyword research is conducted directly in the target language to map local search intent. Content briefs outline target terms, GEO (AI citation) structure, and localized tone guidelines. 2 #### Native Subject-Matter Drafting No machine translation or English-first drafting A native writer in your vertical builds the piece from scratch in the target language, aligning with local industry terminology and cultural trust signals. 3 #### Dual-Linguist Review and Governance ISO 17100-aligned quality control A second native subject-matter linguist edits the piece for technical accuracy, brand voice consistency, and SEO optimization prior to delivery. 4 #### CMS and Translation Memory Integration Platforms: WordPress, HubSpot, Contentful, Smartling Completed deliverables are routed back into your CMS or translation memory and terminology systems in the file formats your team already works in. ### Six Content Programs We Run Six content programs covering blog strategy, localization, long-form assets, video, calendars, and executive thought leadership.

For blog posts, landing pages, and locally competitive keywords, we often write natively in the target language because search intent and topical conventions differ enough to make translated content underperform. For thought leadership pieces where the English version is strong, we translate with full localization. The decision is made per piece based on your brief and keyword research. Yes. Our writer and translator network includes specialists in legal, medical, financial, technology, and engineering content. Every brief is matched to a writer with demonstrated subject expertise in that field. We do not assign generalist writers to specialized topics. Every piece starts with [keyword research](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) in the target language. We use Google Keyword Planner alongside local search data to understand what your target audience actually searches for, then build content structure around that intent. Headlines, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, and internal links are optimized as part of the standard production workflow, not as a separate pass afterward. Local search ranking signals are baked into every brief. Blog posts, landing pages, [white papers](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/white-paper/), case studies, email sequences, [social copy](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/social-media/), product descriptions, and video scripts. We adapt to your existing content stack and production workflow rather than requiring you to change how you publish. We report on organic traffic, keyword rankings, average engagement time, and conversion rates from content pages across every language and market. For clients with CRM integration, we can track content-attributed pipeline and connect content activity to revenue.

[Get a Free Quote](https://betranslated.com/digital-marketing-quote/?service=Email+and+Lifecycle+Marketing), [View All Services](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/) ### Email Marketing Services Localized by Market Multilingual email [marketing translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/marketing/) is the practice of running email campaigns and lifecycle programs natively in each subscriber's language, with subject lines, [body copy](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/content-marketing/), and legal disclosures written by native speakers rather than translated from a master English template. Email is the most personal channel in digital marketing, and the one where a botched translation is hardest to walk back. The subject line is the first thing your subscriber sees and the only thing they read before deciding whether you are worth their attention. A French translation that gets the register wrong by one notch lands as either pushy or oddly formal. The unsubscribe rate tells the truth a few hours later. Native-language copy is not a polish step; it is the difference between an open and a delete. ### Sector-Specific Localization Scope Sector Tailored Localization Scope Platform / Tech Stack Integration E-Commerce and D2C Automated cart-recovery flows, localized promo copy, review requests, localized transactional receipts Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Shopify B2B and SaaS Onboarding drip series, feature-announcement nurture, enterprise demo follow-up flows HubSpot, Marketo, Eloqua Fintech and Regulated Compliance-reviewed transactional alerts, localized terms-of-service updates, GDPR/CASL/LGPD-aligned double opt-ins Salesforce Marketing Cloud, custom API integrations ### Direct Integration With Every Major ESP HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Brevo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo, Eloqua, Braze, Iterable ### A Four-Step QA Workflow 1 #### Native-Speaker Translation and Adaptation Subject lines, body copy, CTAs A native writer adapts your campaign in the target language and market tone, rather than translating a master English template line by line. 2 #### Subject-Line and Timing Testing A/B variants per language Subject line and preview-text variants are tested per market, accounting for character limits, local idioms, and inbox preview behavior. Send timing follows local working hours, not your timezone. 3 #### Compliance and Legal Review GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL, LGPD, PECR Opt-in requirements, unsubscribe mechanics, and legal disclosures are reviewed against each target market's email law before anything goes live. 4 #### Platform Setup and Final QA Populated in your ESP or delivered ready to import Trigger timing and conditional logic are checked per locale, then a final native-speaker proof pass runs inside the live template before send. ### Email Marketing Specialisms Six email programs covering campaigns, automation, newsletters, transactional flows, segmentation, and deliverability.

Google review (SL), 2 years ago ### Frequently Asked Questions We write natively where the workflow allows and [translate with full localization](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/marketing/) when that is the faster path. Both routes include a native-speaker review pass before any campaign goes live. The goal is always copy that feels like it was written for that market, not adapted from another. We work with all major ESPs including HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Brevo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and custom platforms. We deliver copy in the format your ESP requires and can work directly in your platform if access is provided. Welcome sequences, lead nurture flows, promotional campaigns, abandoned cart recovery, re-engagement sequences, transactional emails, and [newsletter content](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/content-marketing/). If it lands in an inbox, we can localize or create it. Our teams are briefed on email marketing law across all key markets: GDPR in the EU, CAN-SPAM in the US, CASL in Canada, and local data protection laws where they differ. This includes opt-in and email subscription requirements specific to each region. We flag compliance issues in your copy and campaign setup before anything goes live. Open rates and click-through rates typically improve when moving from translated to natively localized email copy. Subject lines and preview text show the most immediate gains. The exact improvement depends on how localized your current copy is - clients starting from machine-translated email see the largest jumps.

We do not manage, store, or export your subscriber list or PII fields as part of the localization service itself, even when working directly inside your ESP. #### HIPAA and Regulated Communications Standard email localization workflows do not include formal HIPAA compliance documentation or an ISO 27001 secure data environment. Healthcare and financial clients needing that level of compliance need a custom enterprise SLA before project kickoff. #### Legal Disclaimers and Regulatory Acceptance Our native copywriters get the language right. Confirming that localized footers, unsubscribe mechanics, and consent language meet each target market's marketing law (CASL, GDPR double opt-in, and equivalents) stays the client's responsibility. #### Linguist Accreditation Our specialist writers are individually vetted native professionals in their sector.

Pepsi spent the late 1990s learning that the Mandarin reading of an early [translated tagline](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/marketing/) came out as something close to "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead." White is celebratory at a US wedding and worn at funerals across most of East Asia. The thumbs-up [social media emoji](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/social-media/) is a friendly affirmation in northern Europe and a vulgar insult in parts of West Asia. A brand identity built only for an English-speaking audience does not just feel foreign in other markets; sometimes it actively offends. The fix is to build the identity multilingually from day one, not retrofit a global rollout onto an English-first design. ### Brand and Design Specialisms Six brand programs covering identity, logo adaptation, guidelines, style guides, cultural adaptation, and print design.

Google review (SL), 3 months ago Translated from Dutch ### Frequently Asked Questions Yes, and this is one of our core strengths. Multilingual brand guidelines need to address typography differences between scripts, color connotations that vary across cultures, and brand architecture decisions about how the master brand relates to regional or product-level variants. We build brand systems from the foundation rather than retrofitting global guidelines onto an English-first design. Both. We audit existing brand identities to identify what needs adaptation for new markets and what can stay globally consistent. Every engagement starts with a brand development brief: where the brand stands today, what brand value it needs to convey in the new market, and what existing equity to preserve. For new brands we build from the positioning brief through to full visual guidelines. Each script has different visual weight, proportions, and typographic conventions. We adapt typography and layout systems so the brand feels consistent in every script even when the letterforms are entirely different. Right-to-left languages like Arabic require mirroring navigation flows and restructuring visual hierarchy - we handle this at the design system level, not page by page. Yes. Web design and multilingual website development are part of our offering. We design with multilingual-first architecture - the URL structure, CMS setup, and component system all account for language expansion from day one. You do not have to rebuild the site when you add a new market. Yes. Our multilingual desktop publishing team handles InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop files. Catalogs, brochures, packaging, and exhibition materials in any language are within scope. We use the same brief and brand guidelines for both digital and print so everything stays consistent.

You get a prioritized action plan with clear next steps. No sales call required.

A multilingual SEO audit checks the issues standard audits miss: hreflang and canonical errors, locale-targeting conflicts, untranslated metadata, local keyword gaps, and whether your brand surfaces in AI search. BeTranslated scores your site against 30 multilingual signals across six pillars and returns a written report with prioritized fixes, with no sales call required. What You Get ### A Diagnostic Built for Multilingual Sites Standard SEO audits flag generic on-page issues but miss the problems that actually hold back international sites: hreflang gaps, locale-targeting conflicts, untranslated metadata, and content that ranks in English but stays invisible in other markets. We score your site against 30 multilingual-specific signals across six pillars, then send back a written report with prioritized fixes, traffic-recovery estimates, and the next quarter's action list. ### A Real Multilingual SEO Audit, Not a Canned Report #### Technical Multilingual SEO We inspect your hreflang tags, canonical setup, and crawl structure across every language version to find the configuration errors that quietly suppress rankings. The same diagnostic discipline underpins our [international SEO](https://betranslated.com/digital/international-seo/) work. #### Local Keyword Alignment We compare your translated pages against what local users actually search for, because word-for-word translation rarely matches local search intent. [SEO translation](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) closes that gap. We find the misses. #### GEO and AI Visibility We test whether your brand appears when ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity answer questions in your category and your target languages. #### Competitor Benchmarking We check how your multilingual presence compares to the top three competitors in each of your target markets, so you know exactly where you stand. #### Backlink and Authority Gaps We identify referring domain gaps between your international pages and the pages outranking you, so you know the scale of any link-building requirement. #### Prioritized Action Plan We deliver your findings as a prioritized checklist split into quick wins and strategic investments, so your team can start acting immediately. ### The Audit Adjusts to Your Industry #### Global E-Commerce We check your product feed localization, whether local payment gateways are visible to each market, and whether your multi-currency schema markup is implemented correctly. #### B2B SaaS and Enterprise We audit your localized product docs and help center indexing, whether your subdirectory-vs-subdomain setup (/es/ vs. es.yourbrand.com) is costing you SEO authority, and whether your lead forms are actually localized. #### Healthcare and Legal We check regulatory terminology compliance across your target jurisdictions, alongside the localized metadata most generic audits skip entirely. ### We Audit Every Major CMS and E-Commerce Platform [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/), [Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/), [Joomla](https://www.joomla.org/), [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/), [Webflow](https://webflow.com/), [Squarespace](https://www.squarespace.com/), [Contentful](https://www.contentful.com/), [Strapi](https://strapi.io/), [Magento](https://magento.com/), [Wix](https://www.wix.com/), [Ghost](https://ghost.org/), [Sitecore](https://www.sitecore.com/) Get Your Free Audit ### Request Your Free Multilingual SEO Audit Fill in the form and we will review your site manually.

We review your site manually and send you a personalized report at no charge. We do this because it consistently leads to the right clients finding us. There is no obligation to buy anything. You receive a written report covering technical multilingual SEO, keyword alignment, GEO/AI visibility, and a prioritized action plan with practical next steps. No. We can conduct a useful audit without GSC access. If you choose to share GSC data voluntarily, we can go deeper on keyword rankings and click-through rates, but it is entirely optional. We cover 50+ language pairs across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia. Specify your target markets in the form and we will tailor the audit to your exact situation, including [multilingual SEO](https://betranslated.com/digital/services/seo/) coverage for every locale you target. Nothing automatically. We send the report and you decide what to do with it. If you want help acting on the findings, we can discuss that separately. There is no follow-up sales sequence. Further Reading - [Improving global visibility](https://betranslated.com/blog/global-visibility/) --- ## Translation Rates by Word and Page Source: https://betranslated.com/translation-rates/ Standard content is priced by the source word. Official documents are quoted per document or per page, and most of them arrive with a date already fixed, which changes how the price is worked out. This guide covers all three. How Translation Pricing Works ### How We Price Translation Work How a job is priced depends on what kind of job it is. Standard content, meaning websites, marketing, business and technical material, is priced by the source word, because the original word count is objective whatever the target language. Official documents are not. A birth certificate, a diploma, a company extract, or a court filing is quoted per document or per page. The work in a certificate is not in its word count. Most of what we handle now falls in the second group, alongside web content. The multi-thousand-word file billed by the word is no longer the shape of most of the book. The figures below give a realistic range for each content type, but the only accurate price for your project is a quote based on your actual document. We provide [free quotes](https://betranslated.com/digital/free-seo-audit/) promptly, with no obligation to proceed. Volume discounts are available on larger projects, generally from around 5,000 words, and repeat clients benefit from translation memory reuse, which reduces the billable word count on updated documents. ### What Affects Your Translation Cost #### Language Pair Common European pairs such as English to French, Spanish, or German attract lower rates because there is a large pool of qualified specialists. Less common combinations such as English to Finnish, Korean, or Swahili require rarer expertise and carry higher rates. Pairs involving a less resourced language with limited translation memory data also take longer and cost more. #### Content Type and Complexity General business correspondence and marketing copy sit at the lower end of the range. [Legal contracts](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/), pharmaceutical documents, and [technical manuals](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/) require credentialed specialists, longer review cycles, and verified terminology, all of which are reflected in the rate. Patent translation and financial reporting typically sit at the high end due to the specialist knowledge required. #### Volume and Translation Memory Our volume discounts begin at around 5,000 words and increase at higher thresholds. When you send us updated versions of previously translated documents, our translation memory identifies segments already translated and charges only for new or changed content. Full matches are billed at a reduced rate, while fuzzy matches, segments that are similar but not identical, are billed at 30% to 60% of the full price depending on the similarity score. Long-running relationships with consistent documentation reduce cost over time. #### Deadline and Translator Availability On standard per-word work, a professional translator generally covers 1,500 to 2,000 words per business day, and expedited delivery that needs overtime, weekend work, or parallel assignment carries a surcharge. On certified and sworn work the deadline does more than add a surcharge. It decides which credentialed translators can take the job at all, and the price follows from that. Tell us the date when you ask for a quote and we will confirm whether it is achievable. #### Certification and Notarization A standard translation has no certification requirement. An [official certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) adds a signed statement of accuracy and translator credentials, which is required for immigration, academic, and government submissions. A [sworn or notarized translation](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/) adds legal attestation and is required for court documents and official legal proceedings. Neither is a per-word surcharge on a standard job. Both are quoted per document, and the level the receiving authority asks for decides which translators are eligible to sign. #### Subject-Matter Specialization Documents that require active professional expertise, such as [pharmaceutical clinical trials](https://betranslated.com/pharmaceutical-translation/), [financial audits](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/financial/), or patent specifications, are assigned to translators with verifiable credentials in that field. The specialist rate reflects their qualification and the additional review steps applied to technically sensitive content. Urgent Work ### For Official Documents, the Deadline Usually Comes First This is the part most rate pages leave out. Sworn and certified requests rarely start with a budget question. They start with a date: a consulate appointment, a registration deadline, a hearing, a signature that cannot move. #### The Date Is the Brief Clients in this position are not shopping for a rate per word. They need the document in hand before a fixed date, correctly certified for whoever is receiving it. So we work backwards from the date, and the first thing we establish is whether it is possible at all. #### The Real Question Is Who Is Free A sworn translation cannot go to whoever happens to be available. It has to go to someone holding the right authorization for the destination country, in the right language pair, who can also deliver inside your window. When the window is short, that is a small group of people. The price follows from which of them can take the work, not from the length of the text. #### What That Looks Like in Practice A Canadian federal police certificate, already apostilled, sworn-translated into Spanish the same day. A Spanish document apostilled and then sworn-translated into French for use in Saudi Arabia inside one week. An urgent work-history document so an employer would recognize prior experience. A Dutch commercial contract into French ahead of a signature deadline, in the quote format French corporate rules require. #### Sometimes the Answer Is No Two requests in this set were declined purely on timing. One was a multi-language job on a same-week deadline, the other could not be done properly inside 48 hours. Telling you no is better than taking the money and missing the date, because a document that arrives after the appointment is worth nothing. #### What to Tell Us First The date, and what it is for. Then the destination country and the receiving office, because those decide which authorization the translator needs. With those three we can usually say yes or no quickly, and price it properly rather than guess. ### What Real Certified and Sworn Jobs Actually Cost Every figure below is an amount we actually quoted or invoiced in 2026, anonymized. They are not a rate card and we are not offering them as one. They are here because the spread is the honest answer to "how much does a certified translation cost": two single personal documents in this list came to 70 EUR and 360 EUR. #### A Single Personal or Civil-Status Document - 70 EUR, English into Dutch. - 70 EUR + VAT, Italian into French, for a student. - 70 EUR + VAT, Dutch into English. - 80 EUR + VAT, English into Dutch, digital delivery only. - 90 EUR, Finnish into Dutch, one of the scarcer Nordic pairs. - 110 EUR per page, Arabic into French. - 280 EUR, English into Dutch. - 308 EUR + VAT, Spanish into Dutch, delivered entirely digitally. - 350 EUR + VAT, English into Spanish. - 360 EUR, German into Dutch. #### Sets of Documents - 105 EUR + VAT, two criminal-record certificates for two related applicants, digital delivery. - 172 EUR + VAT each, a marriage certificate and, later, a divorce and legal name-change document, for staff relocating to Spain. No apostille was needed for that use. - 386 EUR + VAT, four official Spanish certificates into English for a UK Standard Visitor Visa. #### Corporate and Legal Documents - 60 EUR + VAT, a corporate document for a French company registering in Spain. - 150 EUR + VAT, a general certified translation delivered in three business days. - 200 EUR + VAT, a business document, English into French. - 220 EUR + VAT, corporate compliance documents, Italian into both French and Dutch. - 250 EUR, Dutch into French, delivered in four to five working days. - 310 EUR, a legal statement of claim from German into Turkish for parallel proceedings in both countries, with a loyalty discount applied. #### How to Read These - The deadline and translator availability move these figures more than anything else. A short window narrows the pool of translators who hold the right authorization for the destination, and the price follows from who in that pool can take it. - The document type alone does not set the price. Length and the language pair matter, but so does whether the certification must come from a translator authorized in one specific country. - Scarce pairs cost more because they take longer to staff, not because the text is harder. The Finnish into Dutch job is a small document in a thin pair. - A set is usually priced per certificate, so four documents is four line items rather than one discounted bundle. - VAT is shown where it applied. Whether it applies to you depends on your country and VAT status. - These are 2026 figures for work already delivered. Yours will differ, which is why we quote rather than publish a price list. Rate Ranges ### Per-Word Bands for Standard Translation These bands are how we charge for standard, non-certified translation: business, marketing, technical, web and general content, priced by the source word. They are a planning guide rather than a live rate card, because the figure for your project depends on the variables above. Content Type Indicative Range Notes Standard Business and General from EUR 0.08 per word Marketing copy, general correspondence, websites. Most European language pairs. Technical and Engineering from EUR 0.10 per word Manuals, specifications, software documentation. Specialist vocabulary required. Legal and Contracts from EUR 0.12 per word Agreements, court documents, regulatory filings. Legal background required. Medical and Pharmaceutical from EUR 0.13 per word Clinical, regulatory, and patient-facing content. Life sciences specialist required. Certified Translation quoted per document Priced per document or per certificate, not per word. Includes the signed certification for official submission. See the real 2026 figures above. Sworn or Notarized Translation quoted per document Priced per document, not per word. Legal attestation for courts, embassies, and official proceedings. See the real 2026 figures above. Marketing and Transcreation project rate (per 1,000 words) Creative adaptation for advertising, brand content, and campaigns. Bespoke pricing. Bands apply to standard non-certified translation and vary by language pair and project. Certified and sworn work is quoted per document instead, see the real figures above. Request a free quote for your own. ### When the Rate Is Quoted Per Document, Not Per Word Most business translation is priced per source word. Official document work usually is not. A birth certificate is a page of boxes and stamps, and its word count is a poor proxy for the work involved, so certified and sworn translations are normally quoted per document or per certificate. #### What Sits Inside a Per-Document Price The translation itself, the translator's signed certification, and the formatting work that makes the translation mirror the original's layout so the receiving office can read them side by side. Where the destination requires a wet signature rather than a signed PDF, the printed copy and the postage are part of the price too. #### A Set of Documents Is Priced Per Certificate A Belgian family with dual-national children sent five birth certificates for a British passport application. That is five line items, not one combined word count. The same applies to a diploma and its transcript, or a marriage certificate filed alongside a divorce decree. Each carries its own certification. #### Which Pages Count Is Your Decision A UK family relocating to the Costa Blanca sent three children's birth certificates and a marriage certificate, and told us which pages to include and which apostille pages to leave out. That instruction changes the quote. It is worth confirming with the receiving authority before you ask us to price it. #### Duplicate Content Is Billed Once One file turned out to carry the same content in both languages. We translated it once and billed it once. If your set has overlapping documents, say so. It is cheaper for you and it stops us quoting work that does not exist. #### Legalization Fees Are Not Ours An apostille or a consular legalization is charged by the issuing authority, not by us. Those fees sit outside the translation quote. We will tell you when a step is needed and in what order, but the fee is paid to the body that performs it. ### Why Two Similar Jobs Quote Differently Two documents of the same length and subject can price differently, and the reason is usually who can legally do the work rather than how hard the text is. Anonymized from recent assignments. #### Scarce Language Pairs Take Sourcing Two personal documents into Uzbek ahead of a wedding, or a Finnish civil document into Dutch, take longer to staff than English into Spanish. Staffing time is part of the cost. #### Sometimes No Direct Pair Exists We had no Latvian to Dutch sworn translator in the network. The alternative was a relay through a bridge language, which is a different piece of work with a different price, so we put the choice to the client rather than quote around it. #### Some Filings Restrict Who May Translate A UK company registering for a Spanish tax ID needed a translator authorized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A document bound for the Dominican Republic needed a translator authorized in that jurisdiction. Both narrow the pool of people who can sign. #### Delivery Format Changes the Number A signed PDF and a posted hard copy are not the same job. Postage and lead time apply to the second. #### Repeat Work Is Quoted Differently From One-Offs A due-diligence firm running company-register extracts across several jurisdictions works on a standing arrangement, not a fresh quote each time. ### What Our Clients Say “We are extremely satisfied with the translation services provided.

Google review (SL), 9 months ago ### Common Questions About Translation Pricing Translation quality and rates are directly linked to who is doing the work. Automated machine translation is cheap but produces output that requires significant human editing and carries real risk for professional or regulated content. Agencies using unvetted freelancers can undercut the market, but with no quality assurance or accountability. Professional agencies like BeTranslated charge for qualified specialist translators, multi-stage quality review, and project management. The cost of a rejected regulatory submission or a legal dispute caused by a mistranslation far exceeds any savings made on a lower initial rate. Yes. Most professional translation providers apply a minimum charge to cover project management, file handling, and quality review costs on small jobs. Our minimum is typically equivalent to around 250 words of standard translation. [Short certified documents](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/) such as birth certificates and diplomas are priced as complete jobs rather than per word, because the specialist handling time is the same regardless of length. Send us the document and tell us the target language, the deadline, and whether certification is required. We will return a fixed price quote promptly, with no obligation. The quote will specify the per-word rate, any certification or rush fees, and the delivery timeline. For recurring work, we also propose a retainer or volume structure that reduces the unit cost. Professional human translation into major European languages typically starts from around EUR 0.08 per word for standard business content and rises to EUR 0.12 to 0.15 per word for legal and medical work, where credentialed specialists and additional review are required. Certified and sworn translation is the exception: it is quoted per document rather than per word. Real 2026 examples on this page range from 60 EUR for a single corporate document to 386 EUR for a four-document visa file. The exact figure depends on the language pair, subject matter, volume, and deadline, so a quote on your actual document is the only precise answer. A professional translation agency rate covers more than the translation itself: a qualified specialist translator, an independent reviewer, project management, terminology and quality control, and accountability for the result. That is why agency rates sit above raw freelance or machine-translation pricing. At BeTranslated the per-word rate includes multi-stage review and a named project manager, with volume discounts from around 5,000 words and translation memory reuse that lowers the cost of updated documents over time. [Rush surcharges](https://betranslated.com/urgent-translation-services/) at BeTranslated typically range from 25% to 50% above the standard per-word rate. The exact surcharge depends on how far the deadline falls below standard turnaround, the language pair, and whether weekend or overnight hours are involved, because compressed deadlines mean assigning multiple translators under a shared glossary. We always disclose the total fixed price upfront before starting, so there are no surprises on delivery. For high-volume, repetitive content such as product data feeds and e-commerce listings, AI-generated first drafts let the human editor work faster, which lowers the per-word rate. For content where accuracy, legal standing, or brand voice is non-negotiable, including contracts, [sworn translations](https://betranslated.com/sworn-translation-services/), and marketing copy, the specialist still does the real work and the rate reflects that expertise. Be cautious with any quote promising AI translation at human quality for half the price, and ask exactly which quality-assurance steps are included.

Most certified translations, business correspondence, marketing copy, and short legal documents fall in this tier. #### Mid-Volume 3 to 7 business days For documents 3,000 to 15,000 words. Long-form contracts, technical manuals, marketing brochures, and most business reports. #### Large Project 1 to 4 weeks For 15,000 to 100,000 words. Annual reports, full website translations, software localization releases, and exhibition catalogs. #### Expedited Same business day [Urgent translations](https://betranslated.com/urgent-translation-services/) under 2,000 words for time-sensitive deal documents, court filings, or [USCIS-compliant certified translation](https://betranslated.com/document/uscis-certified-translations/) deadlines. Expedited surcharge applies. ### What Determines Your Turnaround #### Word Count and Document Length A professional translator typically completes 2,000 to 2,500 words of new translation per business day. Add 1 day for editorial review on larger projects, plus 1 day for client review and revisions. #### Language Pair Common pairs (English-Spanish, English-French, English-German) typically have the most flexible scheduling. Less common combinations (e.g. English-Burmese, English-Khmer) may require extra lead time depending on translator availability. #### Subject Matter Specialism Specialist content such as [medical regulatory](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/medical/), patent translation, or financial reporting requires translators with appropriate qualifications. Lead time may extend slightly to match the right translator to your project. #### Certification Requirements [Certified translation](https://betranslated.com/certified-translation-services/), sworn, or notarized translation adds 1 business day to the standard timeline to allow for affidavit preparation and notarization where applicable. #### File Format and DTP Requirements InDesign, Quark, and complex PDF formats add DTP time for layout reflow. Plain text, Word, and HTML files have minimal additional handling time. **All timelines are confirmed in writing** as part of your project quote. We do not commit to a delivery date until the source files have been received and the translator availability is confirmed. ### Turnaround Times FAQ #### How long does a typical legal contract translation take? A standard 5,000-word commercial contract typically returns within 2 to 3 business days. Same-day delivery is available for urgent [legal text translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/legal/) work under 2,000 words with expedited service. #### Can you deliver same-day for urgent immigration documents? Yes. Standard immigration documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and police clearances can be delivered same-day if submitted by mid-morning. Certified translation surcharge plus expedited fee applies. #### What is the turnaround for a full annual report translation? A 50,000 to 80,000-word annual report typically translates in 6 to 10 business days per language pair with standard service. Multilingual co-ordination across 5+ target languages can be aligned to a single delivery deadline. #### How do you handle weekend and holiday deadlines? Weekend and holiday work is available with advance notice and an out-of-hours surcharge. We do not assume weekend availability without explicit booking confirmation. ### What Our Clients Say “Very polyvalent and capable office.

It Is Structure With Text Inside. The most expensive translation mistake is treating every source as plain text. A Microsoft Word DOCX contains paragraph styles, section breaks, footnotes, embedded objects, and revision metadata. An Adobe InDesign IDML carries master pages, anchored frames, character-style overrides, and language-tagged paragraphs that drive hyphenation. An XLIFF 2.1 file carries source segments, translator notes, locked variables, and inline placeholders that, if broken, will crash the build pipeline of the application that consumes it. Format-preserving translation is the discipline of working inside that structure rather than around it. The same approach underpins our [technical translation](https://betranslated.com/translation-services/technical/) work. A professional CAT tool (SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase TMS, Smartcat) parses the source format with a dedicated filter, exposes only the translatable strings to the translator, locks every tag and placeholder, and reassembles a target file that opens cleanly in the originating application. The difference between this and a copy-paste workflow is the difference between a file you ship and a file you rebuild. The same discipline applies across every format we handle: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF on the office side; Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker, Illustrator, and AutoCAD on the print and engineering side; XLIFF, JSON, YAML, ARB, .strings, .resx, and PO on the [localization-engineering side](https://betranslated.com/software-localization/) for [website translation](https://betranslated.com/website-translation-services/); and SRT, VTT, TTML, and SBV on the audiovisual side. Each one has a translation-aware filter, a quality-control protocol, and a delivery format that is ready for the application that will read it. The Professional Toolkit ### CAT Tools and Industry Standards The software and standards behind every BeTranslated delivery. Translation memory, terminology, and interchange formats are portable: every TMX and TBX we generate belongs to your account. #### Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools ##### SDL Trados Studio The industry-standard CAT tool. Native handling of SDLXLIFF, IDML, FrameMaker MIF, and 50+ filters. ##### memoQ Server-based translation environment used in regulated sectors (medical, legal, finance) with full XLIFF 2.1 support. ##### Phrase TMS Cloud TMS (formerly Memsource) with API and connector ecosystem for Drupal, WordPress, Contentful, Figma, GitHub. ##### Smartcat Cloud platform with built-in translator marketplace. Strong on JSON, YAML, ARB and modern web/app strings files. ##### Wordfast Lightweight TMX-first toolkit popular for freelance and DTP-heavy projects with Word and InDesign sources. ##### OmegaT Open-source CAT tool. Supported as an interchange path when client tooling demands plain XLIFF or TMX outputs. #### Open Standards and Interchange Formats ##### XLIFF 2.1 (OASIS) The OASIS XML interchange format. The lingua franca for handing translatable strings between CMS, CAT tools, and TMS. ##### TMX 1.4b (LISA) Translation Memory eXchange: lets translation memories move between Trados, memoQ, Phrase, and Wordfast without loss. ##### TBX (ISO 30042) TermBase eXchange. The ISO 30042 standard for sharing client glossaries and terminology databases across vendors. ##### ITS 2.0 (W3C) W3C Internationalization Tag Set. Marks translatability, locale rules, and confidentiality directly inside HTML and XML. ##### Unicode UTF-8 / UTF-16 Character encoding non-negotiable for CJK, RTL Arabic and Hebrew, Cyrillic, Greek, and combined-script source files. ##### Workflow Aligned with ISO 17100 International standard for translation services workflow. BeTranslated works in alignment with the ISO 17100 process. Country and Locale Variants ### Where File Formats Meet Local Conventions The same DOCX or IDML behaves differently in different countries: paper size, date and number formats, official languages per territory, and locale-specific spelling all change the deliverable. We localize for the country and the format together. #### United Kingdom `en-GB` British English spelling (organization, colour, recognise) and DD/MM/YYYY dates. A4 paper. GBP currency. Layout templates routinely expect £ in pre-decimal placement and Royal Mail address blocks. Default Word and InDesign installations in the UK ship with A4 page setup; US source files at Letter need a re-flow, not just a translation. #### Belgium `nl-BE / fr-BE / de-BE` Officially trilingual: Dutch (Flemish), French (Walloon), and German. Same DOCX or IDML source, three target locales. nl-BE differs from nl-NL in vocabulary and tone (e.g. Flemish prefers the formal U where Dutch Dutch uses je). fr-BE and fr-FR differ on numerals (septante and nonante in Belgium) and EU-specific legal terminology. Source files are typically delivered as one master IDML translated into three locales. #### Netherlands `nl-NL` Dutch Dutch (the prestige register), DD-MM-YYYY dates, comma decimal separator (1.234,56), Euro after the amount in informal use. A4 paper. Strong preference for sentence-case headings in marketing copy. Many NL clients ship XLIFF exports from headless CMS (Contentful, Storyblok) for product strings. #### Germany `de-DE` German routinely expands 25-35 percent versus English. Compound nouns (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung) need DTP reflow in IDML and FrameMaker MIF. Comma decimal separator, period thousand separator, DD.MM.YYYY dates. GDPR is referenced under its German statutory name in legal and privacy copy for de-DE output. Capitalization of all nouns is non-negotiable. ß or ss depending on Swiss vs German market. #### Australia `en-AU` British-derived spelling with local divergences (program not programme; -ise endings). A4 paper. AUD currency. Local English copy often substituted for en-GB on assumption, then fails on idiom and product name (e.g. capsicum not bell pepper). en-AU should be quoted and translated as a distinct locale, not as a side-effect of British English delivery. #### United States `en-US` US English spelling, MM/DD/YYYY dates, US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches) which breaks pagination of A4-designed InDesign files. USD currency. ZIP codes in address blocks. Word and InDesign installs default to Letter page setup. Customary units (inches, pounds, Fahrenheit) often need conversion in metric source content for marketing localization. #### South Africa `en-ZA / af-ZA / zu-ZA + 8 more` Eleven official languages including English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, and Setswana. en-ZA follows British conventions but with local vocabulary (robot for traffic light). A4 paper. ZAR currency. Government and NGO content is frequently produced in 4 to 6 of the official languages from one DOCX source, with isiZulu and isiXhosa requiring careful Unicode handling for click consonants and tone marks. #### Morocco `ar-MA / fr-MA / ber` Three working languages: Modern Standard Arabic (ar-MA), French (fr-MA, the language of business and higher education), and Tamazight (ber, official since 2011, written in Tifinagh script). Source documents commonly need to ship in two or three locales. Arabic requires RTL handling in IDML (World-Ready Composer or Adobe InDesign ME). Tifinagh requires Unicode-compliant fonts (e.g. Noto Sans Tifinagh) and rarely ships in default InDesign installations. Common Questions ### File-Format Translation FAQ #### Why does a Word document need special handling for translation? A Microsoft Word DOCX file is not text. It is text plus invisible structure: paragraph styles, section breaks, header and footer content, embedded tables, footnotes, comments, tracked changes, and revision history. A translator who delivers plain text leaves you to rebuild the document by hand. We translate inside the DOCX format using Trados Studio or memoQ filters as part of our [document translation](https://betranslated.com/document-translation-services/) workflow, so the file you receive opens in Word with structure intact and ready to ship. #### Can you translate scanned PDFs and image-based PDFs? Yes. Image-based PDFs are run through OCR (ABBYY FineReader for production work) and rebuilt as either editable Word or InDesign source. Vector PDFs exported from InDesign or Illustrator are typically converted back to the source format (IDML or AI) so layout, fonts, and image links survive translation. The deliverable is a press-ready PDF that matches the original visual hierarchy. #### What is XLIFF and why does the industry use it? XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format, OASIS standard, current version 2.1) is the most widely supported interchange format for translatable strings. It carries source text, target text, segment status, translator notes, and locked variables in one structured XML file. Nearly every modern CAT tool and TMS reads XLIFF natively, which means a project starting in Phrase TMS can usually finish in Trados Studio without manual re-import. For developers, XLIFF is the format of choice for mobile apps, web localization, and CMS exports. #### Will my Adobe InDesign layout still work after translation? Yes. We translate from the IDML interchange format (Adobe InDesign Markup Language), which carries paragraph and character styles, master pages, anchored objects, and text frame links. The translated IDML opens in InDesign with layout preserved. Where target languages need expansion (German often runs roughly 30 percent longer than English) or contraction (Chinese Simplified can shrink by as much as 40 percent) our DTP team reflows in InDesign so the final PDF matches the source design. #### Do you support right-to-left and CJK source files? Yes. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu are handled with the original RTL paragraph direction preserved (in IDML this requires the World-Ready Composer or Adobe InDesign ME). Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files are translated with full Unicode handling (UTF-8 or UTF-16 depending on source), correct font fallback for CJK glyphs, and vertical typesetting where the source uses it. We deliver a file that opens cleanly in your target locale's native software. #### Which file formats support translation memory and glossary reuse? Every format we support feeds a TMX-format translation memory and a TBX-format termbase. That means every DOCX, IDML, XLIFF, JSON, or SRT file you send us trains a memory specific to your account. Repeat content on the next project is reused automatically (often 20-40 percent of a typical brand's content), reducing both turnaround time and cost. The TMX and TBX files belong to you and are portable to any other vendor. Looking for certified document translation?

Every translation goes through a two-stage quality assurance process: primary translation by a native-speaking specialist with subject-matter expertise, followed by an independent review by a second qualified linguist. For certified, sworn, and submission-critical documents, a third-stage terminology and consistency check is applied. We do not use unedited machine translation output on any project. #### What Is the Difference Between Translation and Localization? Translation converts the words of a source text into another language. Localization adapts the full content experience for a target market, including vocabulary choices, cultural references, units of measurement, date formats, and tone. For marketing and web content, localization typically delivers better results than straight translation because it prioritizes how the message lands, not just whether it is linguistically accurate. #### How Long Does a Translation Project Take? A professional translator works at roughly 2,000 to 2,500 words per day while maintaining quality. For larger volumes, we assign a team of specialists working in parallel. Standard documents such as birth certificates and short contracts are often returned within 24 to 48 hours. For large or complex projects, we provide a confirmed delivery date before work begins. Urgent turnaround is available when the scope allows. #### How Much Does a Translation Cost? Translation is priced per word, with rates that vary by language pair, subject complexity, and turnaround requirement. Rare language pairs and highly specialized fields such as medical or legal typically carry a higher rate than common language pairs and general content. We provide a free, itemized quote before any work starts, and there is no obligation to proceed after receiving it. #### Do You Use Translation Memory? Yes. Translation memory tools store previously translated segments so that repeated or near-identical content across documents is applied consistently and does not need to be retranslated. For ongoing clients with large volumes, translation memory significantly reduces both cost and turnaround time. All memory is stored per client and never shared with other projects. #### Do You Handle Specialized or Technical Content? Yes. Our translator network includes specialists in legal translation, medical and pharmaceutical, technical and engineering, IT and software, financial, and marketing content. Subject-matter expertise is a condition of working with us: every project is matched to a translator with a demonstrable background in the relevant field. We do not assign generalist translators to specialist content. #### What File Formats Do You Accept? We accept all common document and web formats: Word (.docx), PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), HTML, XLIFF, JSON, InDesign (.idml), plain text, and most CMS export formats. If your format is not listed, contact us. We handle file conversion where needed so you do not have to prepare special source files. #### Do You Offer Proofreading and Editing of Existing Translations? Yes. If you have a translation produced internally, by a freelancer, or by a machine translation tool that needs professional review, we offer standalone editing and proofreading services. We assess the source and translated text together and identify gaps in accuracy, terminology, fluency, and style. #### How Do I Request a Translation Quote? Use the Get a Free Quote button on this page or any service page. Upload your document or describe the project, tell us your source and target languages, and provide your deadline. We respond within eight business hours with a fixed price and confirmed timeline. For recurring or high-volume work, ask about our preferred-client rates. #### What Happens If I Am Not Satisfied With a Translation? We stand behind every delivery. If you have concerns about accuracy, terminology, or style, contact your project manager and we will address them within the original scope at no extra cost. Our two-stage QA process is designed to catch issues before delivery, but if something does slip through, we fix it promptly. #### What Is Included in a Website Translation Project? A complete website translation covers all visible page content plus the invisible layer that affects search rankings: meta titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and URL slugs. We also handle navigation labels, button text, form fields, and error messages. For e-commerce sites, product titles, descriptions, and checkout flows are included. You receive the translated files in whatever format your CMS or development team needs. #### Do You Translate WordPress Websites? Yes. We work with WordPress sites using WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress, and can deliver translations as import-ready files or directly into your existing multilingual setup. We are also familiar with the Gutenberg editor and common page builders. If you are setting up a multilingual WordPress site for the first time, we can advise on plugin selection and URL structure before translation begins. #### What Is SEO Translation and Why Does It Matter? SEO translation goes beyond converting words from one language to another. It means researching the keywords your target audience actually uses in their language, adapting headlines and body copy to match local search intent, and translating metadata to support local rankings. Translating only the visible page content while leaving meta titles and alt text in English means your site will not rank in foreign search results. Our SEO translation covers the full page layer. #### Can You Translate Metadata, Alt Text, and URL Slugs? Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Meta titles, descriptions, and alt text are indexed by search engines. Leaving these in English on a foreign-language page creates a mixed-language signal that undermines rankings in local markets. URL slugs require more care since changing them affects existing links and crawl paths: we advise on the right approach for your setup before making any changes. #### Do You Work With WPML or Other Translation Plugins? Yes. We have extensive experience with WPML and can deliver XLIFF files directly compatible with its import flow, or work inside your WPML account if you grant us access. We also work with Polylang, Loco Translate, TranslatePress, and Weglot. Ask us about your specific plugin setup when you request a quote. #### How Do You Handle Translated Content Updates as Our Website Changes? We offer ongoing maintenance retainers for clients who regularly update or add content. Translation memory ensures that previously translated segments are reused automatically, so you only pay for new or changed text. Update requests are typically returned within 24 to 48 hours. For larger content operations, we set up a dedicated project workflow to keep administration on your side as light as possible. #### Can You Translate Marketing Campaigns and Ad Copy? Yes. We localize marketing campaigns across all formats: print collateral, digital display ads, email sequences, Google Ads, social media copy, and video scripts. For campaign copy where literal translation would underperform, we offer transcreation: the message is recreated in the target language to carry the same emotional impact rather than just the same words. #### What Is Transcreation and When Do I Need It? Transcreation is the process of recreating a piece of content in the target language so that it resonates with the local audience, rather than translating it word for word. It is the right choice when the source text relies on wordplay, cultural idioms, humor, emotional appeal, or brand tone that would not survive direct translation. Common use cases include taglines, advertising headlines, social media copy, and product naming. Transcreation projects are priced by the deliverable rather than by word count. #### What Is a Certified Translation? A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or the agency confirming that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original document. The certification includes the translator's full name, credentials, signature, and date. This makes the translation officially acceptable to immigration authorities, universities, government agencies, notaries, and courts in many countries, including the US. #### What Is a Sworn Translation and How Does It Differ From Certified? The terminology varies by country. In the US, a certified translation refers to any translation with a signed accuracy attestation. In most European countries, a sworn translation is produced specifically by a translator who has taken an official oath before a court or public authority, giving the certification legal standing in that jurisdiction. BeTranslated offers both formats. We confirm which is required for your receiving authority before we begin. #### Which Documents Require a Certified Translation? Any document submitted to a public authority, immigration office, embassy, notary, or court typically requires certified translation. Common examples include birth certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, academic transcripts, diplomas, passports, national ID cards, powers of attorney, and medical records. The exact requirement depends on the destination country and the authority receiving the document. #### Are Your Certified Translations Accepted by Embassies, Courts, and Government Agencies? We format our certified and sworn translations to meet the requirements of embassies, consulates, USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, EU immigration authorities, national courts, and public authorities across 50+ countries, and we have worked with these institutions for over 20 years. Final acceptance is always the receiving authority's decision, not something any translation provider can guarantee. If you are unsure whether our certification meets the specific requirements of your receiving authority, we confirm this before work begins. #### Do You Provide Notarized Translations? Yes. For documents that need to be presented before a notary public, or that require a notarial seal in addition to the translator's certification, we can coordinate notarization as part of the service. Requirements vary by country. Let us know the authority and destination country and we will confirm exactly what is needed. #### What Is the Turnaround Time for Certified Translations? Most standard documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and academic transcripts, are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Longer legal documents depend on word count and complexity. If you are working against an immigration deadline or a court filing date, tell us upfront. We offer expedited turnaround for urgent submissions and confirm a realistic delivery date before we begin. #### How Do I Submit My Document for Certified Translation? Upload a scanned copy (PDF, JPG, or PNG) when requesting a quote. A clear, high-resolution scan is usually sufficient: you do not need to send the physical original unless your receiving authority specifically requires the certified translation to be bound to the original document. If a document has stamps, seals, or handwriting, please ensure the scan is legible. We flag any readability issues before work begins. --- ## Interpretation Services FAQ Source: https://betranslated.com/faq/interpretation/ Everything you need to know before booking an interpreter for meetings and events, from format differences to logistics, pricing, and remote setup. ### Types of Interpretation ### Booking, Logistics, and Costs ### Remote and Video Interpretation 5.0/5.0 from 168 Google Reviews ### Interpreting Questions: Talk to a Specialist Tell us what you need for interpreting questions.

In consecutive interpretation, the speaker pauses after completing a segment, usually one or two sentences, and the interpreter then renders the speech into the target language. This back-and-forth pattern is well suited to small meetings, depositions, legal hearings, medical consultations, and business negotiations where the pace is conversational. No specialist equipment is required. #### What Is Simultaneous Interpretation? In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter renders the speaker's words into the target language in real time, with a lag of only a few seconds. Delegates listen through headsets while the interpreter works from a soundproofed booth. This format is the standard for international conferences, multilingual symposia, and large-scale events where stopping the speaker for interpretation is not practical. #### When Should I Use Consecutive and When Should I Use Simultaneous Interpretation? Consecutive interpretation is best for small gatherings, legal proceedings, medical appointments, and business meetings with a limited number of participants. Simultaneous interpretation is better for conferences, panel discussions, and events with large audiences or tight schedules. Simultaneous requires more planning and specialist booth equipment but keeps the event flowing at full speed. #### What Is Whispered Interpretation (Chuchotage)? Chuchotage is a form of simultaneous interpretation where the interpreter sits beside or behind one or two delegates and whispers the interpretation in real time, without equipment. It is appropriate when only a small number of participants need interpretation and installing a full booth setup is impractical. It places high cognitive demand on the interpreter and is not suitable for sessions lasting more than one to two hours. #### What Is Telephone and Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI)? Over-the-phone interpretation connects a professional interpreter to a conversation via telephone or a bridged call. It is the fastest way to access interpretation for short, unplanned, or one-off conversations: customer service calls, emergency situations, and brief business calls. OPI sessions are typically billed by the minute. Our team can connect you with a qualified interpreter in most languages within minutes. #### Do You Offer Interpretation for Medical Appointments? Yes. Medical interpretation requires a specialist who understands clinical terminology in both languages and is trained to interpret with neutrality and precision. We provide interpretation for patient consultations, specialist referrals, surgical discussions, and cross-border medical treatments, frequently alongside clinical translation of supporting records. Remote medical interpretation via video call is also available for situations where an in-person interpreter is not accessible. #### How Far in Advance Do I Need to Book an Interpreter? For planned events such as conferences and legal hearings, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to ensure availability of the right specialist. For business meetings and smaller assignments, one to three days is typically sufficient. Urgent bookings are accommodated when our schedule allows. Contact us as soon as your dates are confirmed. #### What Information Do I Need to Provide When Booking? We need the date, location (or online platform), expected duration, language pair, format (consecutive or simultaneous), subject matter or industry, and a brief description of the event. For legal or medical assignments, any preparatory materials such as case summaries or terminology lists help the interpreter prepare and deliver a higher-quality result. #### How Does Pricing Work for Interpretation Services? Interpretation is priced by the half-day or full day for in-person assignments, and by the hour for remote sessions. Rates depend on the language pair, format, subject specialization, and travel requirements. Simultaneous interpretation carries a higher rate than consecutive, reflecting the specialist skill and preparation involved. We provide a clear quote with all costs itemized before you confirm a booking. #### Do Interpreters Work in Pairs for Long Events? Yes. Simultaneous interpretation is cognitively intensive, and professional standards recommend that two interpreters work in rotation, switching every 30 minutes, for sessions lasting more than one hour. For full-day conferences, a team of two per language direction is standard practice. We factor this into all simultaneous interpretation bookings automatically and explain the setup in your quote. #### What Sectors Do Your Interpreters Cover? Our interpreters specialize in legal and judicial proceedings, medical and healthcare, business and finance, international diplomacy, academic and research conferences, technical and engineering, and commercial trade negotiations. Sector match is part of how we assign every interpreter: the right subject knowledge prevents terminology errors that can have serious consequences in legal or medical settings. #### Can You Provide Interpretation for Legal Proceedings and Court Hearings? Yes. Legal interpretation requires a specialist with formal training in both legal systems involved, the ability to interpret in the first person, and an understanding of procedural norms. Our legal interpreters work in courtrooms, arbitration panels, depositions, police interviews, and notarial proceedings, often coordinated with specialist legal translation of supporting documents. Many hold official accreditation or have been sworn in before a court in their jurisdiction. #### Do You Offer Remote Interpretation? Yes. Remote interpretation is available via video call for consecutive assignments, and via specialist remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) platforms for conference-scale events. Remote interpretation removes the travel barrier and is well suited to international business calls, depositions, client consultations, and smaller conference sessions where participants are joining from multiple locations. #### What Video Platforms Do You Support for Remote Interpretation? For consecutive remote interpretation, we work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and any other standard video conferencing platform your organization uses. For simultaneous interpretation, we use specialist RSI platforms including Interprefy, Kudo, KUDO, and Zoom with built-in interpretation mode. We advise on the right platform for your event and can handle technical setup on our end. #### How Does Remote Simultaneous Interpretation Work for Conferences? Remote simultaneous interpretation uses a specialist platform where interpreters work from their own soundproofed booths in different locations, and delegates receive the interpretation through a web app or phone. The experience for delegates is virtually identical to in-person conference interpretation. RSI platforms also allow participants to switch between language channels and the floor audio without any additional equipment. We handle the interpreter coordination and platform setup. #### What Audio Quality Is Required for Remote Interpretation Sessions? Clear audio is critical for interpreter performance and participant experience. We recommend a wired internet connection rather than Wi-Fi for all participants, a dedicated microphone or headset rather than a laptop's built-in microphone, and a quiet environment for the main speakers. We send technical guidelines to all participants before any remote interpretation session. For high-stakes events, a technical rehearsal the day before is strongly recommended. #### Can Remote Interpretation Work for Small Meetings as Well as Large Conferences? Yes. Remote consecutive interpretation requires nothing more than a standard video call and works well for two-to-ten participant meetings, client calls, and medical consultations. Remote simultaneous interpretation scales from small focused sessions to large multilingual conferences with thousands of delegates. We recommend the right format based on your participant count, session length, and budget. --- ## Digital Marketing Services FAQ Source: https://betranslated.com/faq/digital-marketing/ Clear answers about how we combine language expertise with digital strategy to run global campaigns and grow your brand in new markets. ### Working With Us on Digital Marketing ### Multilingual SEO ### Social Media and Paid Ads ### Content and Email Marketing 5.0/5.0 from 168 Google Reviews ### Digital Marketing Questions: Talk to a Specialist Tell us what you need for digital marketing questions.

Multilingual digital marketing is the practice of planning, creating, and distributing marketing content in multiple languages, adapted for the cultural norms, search behavior, and platform preferences of each target market. It covers SEO, paid advertising, social media, content marketing, and email. The goal is the same as any digital marketing program: attract, engage, and convert the right audience. The difference is that each market is treated as its own audience, not a translation of the English one. #### How Is Multilingual Digital Marketing Different From Just Translating Campaigns? Translation converts existing content from one language to another. Multilingual digital marketing starts with local market research: what keywords does your audience search for, what platforms do they use, what tone and cultural references build trust in that market? Often, the most effective approach is to create original content in the target language rather than translate from English. We decide the right approach per asset and per market. #### What Markets Do You Cover? We cover all major European markets including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, and Poland, as well as North American Spanish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Arabic-speaking markets, and major Asian markets including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Our network of native-speaking specialists covers 50+ language pairs. If your target market is not listed, contact us. #### How Do I Get Started? Request a free consultation or audit using the contact form or quote button on this page. Tell us which markets you are targeting, your current digital presence, and your growth goals. We will assess what is already working, identify the gaps, and propose a plan. There is no obligation after the initial consultation. #### Do You Offer Both Translation and Digital Marketing Under One Account? Yes. Managing translation and digital marketing through separate providers introduces consistency gaps: your localized website, ad copy, social content, and email sequences need to sound like the same brand. BeTranslated handles both under one account with a single project manager. This is particularly valuable when your content strategy requires tight coordination between SEO translation and ongoing digital marketing. See our translation plus digital crossover page for how the two disciplines combine. #### What Does a Typical Engagement Look Like? Most engagements begin with an audit of your current visibility and content in the target market, followed by a strategy session to agree on priorities. From there, we move to production: typically SEO content and website localization first, then paid media, social, and email as the market presence builds. We report monthly and adjust the plan based on performance data. Scope and cadence are agreed upfront. #### What Is Multilingual SEO? Multilingual SEO is the practice of optimizing a website to rank in search engines across multiple languages and regions. It combines native-language keyword research, culturally adapted on-page content, technically correct hreflang tagging, and local link building. Because search behavior, vocabulary, and dominant search engines vary by market, an international SEO strategy treats each language as a separate SEO project, not a translation of the English one. #### Why Can't I Just Translate My English Keywords Into the Target Language? Because the search terms your audience uses in their language often have no direct equivalent to your English keywords. A term that drives thousands of monthly searches in English may have no search volume in French, while a completely different phrase captures all the demand. We research each target language independently using local keyword tools and native-speaker insight, then build your content strategy around what people actually type. #### How Do You Choose Keywords in a Foreign Language? We use a combination of local search volume data, competitor analysis in that language, and the native intuition of our in-country SEO specialists. Each market has its own phrasing conventions, formal versus informal register preferences, and regional terminology. We map these to your services and produce a keyword set that reflects genuine local search intent, not just translated English terms. #### What Is Hreflang and Why Does It Matter? Hreflang is an HTML attribute that tells Google which language version of a page to serve to which audience. Without it, Google may show the wrong language version to users, treat your multilingual pages as duplicate content, and dilute rankings across every language you publish in. Any website targeting more than one language or region needs hreflang. The setup depends on your URL structure: whether you use country-code domains, subdirectories, or subdomains affects how hreflang works and how link authority flows between your pages. #### How Long Before I See Results From Multilingual SEO? Most clients see measurable ranking movement within three to six months of publishing localized content, with organic traffic gains building over 12 to 18 months. New language pages added to an established domain typically rank faster than a brand-new site. Local link building in each target market accelerates this timeline. Teams that want a baseline before committing usually start with a free SEO audit. We report monthly so progress is visible at every stage. #### What Is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and Do You Offer It? GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization: the practice of structuring content so your brand surfaces in AI-generated answers from tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. It involves named entity optimization using Schema.org structured data, topical authority building, and content depth that AI models recognize as authoritative. We include GEO best practices in all our SEO content work because traditional blue-link rankings and AI-powered answers increasingly operate on the same signals. #### Do You Create and Manage Social Media Content in Multiple Languages? Yes. We create native-language content calendars, manage community interactions, and run paid social campaigns for each of your target markets. Our native-speaking teams write content from a local brief, not an English one, so posts reflect local humor, trending topics, platform conventions, and cultural context. The result is content that reads as created for that market rather than adapted from somewhere else. #### What Social Platforms Do You Manage? We manage LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Pinterest. Platform recommendations are market-specific: LinkedIn carries more weight for B2B in northern Europe, while Instagram and TikTok drive higher engagement in southern Europe and Latin America. We advise on the right platform mix based on your target markets and audience profile. #### Do You Run Multilingual Google Ads? Yes. We run multilingual Google Ads campaigns in 50+ languages with native-language keyword research, ad copy, and landing page localization. Translating English Google Ads into another language without adapting the keywords and copy typically produces underperforming campaigns. Our native-speaking PPC specialists research local search intent independently and write copy that reflects how buyers think and phrase their search in that language. #### How Do You Handle Ad Copy Character Limits in Different Languages? Character limits in Google and Meta ad formats are a real constraint across languages. German and Finnish words are often significantly longer than their English equivalents, while Arabic and Chinese pack more meaning into fewer characters. Our copywriters work within the target-language character limits from the start rather than translating English copy that does not fit. This prevents the truncated, awkward headlines that hurt click-through rate in multilingual campaigns. #### Can You Manage Paid and Organic Social in the Same Engagement? Yes, and we recommend it. Running paid and organic from the same brief keeps messaging consistent and allows organic content to test angles before paid budget is committed. We report on both in a unified dashboard, broken down by language and market. #### Can You Write Original Blog Content in Multiple Languages? Yes. For markets where local search intent differs significantly from English, writing content natively in the target language outperforms translating an English article. Our native-speaking content specialists write from local keyword research and a local brief. We produce blog posts, landing pages, long-form guides, whitepapers, and case studies across all our supported languages. #### What Is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and How Do You Apply It to Content? GEO is the practice of structuring and writing content so AI-powered search tools, including Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT, cite or surface your brand in generated answers. It involves building deep topical coverage, using structured data (Schema.org), naming specific entities, and writing content with the clarity and depth that AI models reward as authoritative. We apply GEO principles to all our content work, not as a separate service but as part of how good content is written. #### Do You Manage Multilingual Email Campaigns? Yes. We create and manage email campaigns, lifecycle flows, and automation sequences in all the languages your subscriber list requires. This includes welcome and onboarding sequences, promotional campaigns, cart abandonment flows, re-engagement sequences, and transactional emails. We work with all major ESPs including HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. #### Can You Localize an Existing English Email Sequence? Yes. We review your existing sequence, localize the copy for each target market, adapt subject lines and preview text to the conventions and character limits of that language, and flag any cultural references that need updating. The goal is a sequence that feels written for the recipient's market, not adapted from an English template. We return copy in your ESP's required format or work directly in your account. #### How Do You Handle GDPR Compliance in Multilingual Email Marketing? Our teams are briefed on email marketing law across all key markets: GDPR in the EU, CAN-SPAM in the US, CASL in Canada, and local data protection laws where they differ from the EU baseline. We flag compliance issues in your copy and campaign setup before anything goes live. GDPR-compliant opt-in language is included in all EU-facing email sequences we produce. --- ## Get a Free Translation Quote Source: https://betranslated.com/translation-quote/ Project pricing fast.
