Igor Gorskikh Review from Google

Igor Gorskikh's Review Sourced from Google
Horrendous service. We reached out to Day Translations for assisting with an important USCIS interview for our client. We paid the fee and everything was ready. Then, on the day of the interview the client is waiting outside the location and there is no translator to be found. He calls Day Translations and they tell him on the phone that his interpreter pulled out of the interview for "emergency reasons". Not only did we loose a key interpreter 30 minutes before the interview, Day Translations did not even notify us about it and if we didn't call to check, we would be completely screwed. We then had to scramble ourselves to provide an alternative because they couldn't. And they refused to compensate us for the sunk costs we incurred by getting a last second translator. Would never recommend this horrible company to anyone.
Willem Koenders Review from Google

Willem Koenders's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great experience working with Day Translations for a USCIS interview.Our interpreter, Carlos Güiza, was truly excellent. He was very cordial, professional, and kind, and made us feel comfortable right away. The interpretation itself was flawless, but what really stood out was how helpful he was in explaining parts of the process as we went along. That made a big difference for us.I also want to highlight the broader team. We had a few logistical issues on our end, and they were very responsive, tried to reach us, and still made everything work smoothly. That level of professionalism was really appreciated.Overall, a very positive experience, and I would absolutely recommend their services.

If I can give Mr. Marco more than 5 stars, I would have! I took the CLI orientation course and I loved it. It was very helpful, informative, professional, and precise. Once you pay and register, you will have immediate access to all materials - no time is wasted. Once you passed the quizzes and completed the course, you certification of completion will be available immediately. The instructor is down to earth and very helpful. Plus, the price of the course for the CLI is $60 which is very reasonable. I hope we have more people like him in our world. I recommend taking all his coureses without hesitation.

Absolutely amazing, professional services. I was in a rush to get my documents done, and they nailed it, before my deadline. I read reviews before choosing them and I am very happy I did. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone needing spanish documents translated. This is my first time having to do what I am doing, they also shared tips and advice on what to do as well as be careful of. Even though I had to drive 4.5 hours because I have no one near me to do these services I would do it again if there was a document translator right next door.An update on this review. I was able to get married very easily in a very difficult country because of their amazing translated documents. A very big thank you.

Terri has been an incredible SmartPA assistant for our family over the past 18 months. Her support has been invaluable in managing our busy work and home administrative tasks. Throughout our travels across Europe, the US, and Canada, as well as during our recent move to a new house and country, Terri has been there for us every step of the way. In particular, I have appreciated that Terri has used great judgment in assessing options on all fronts and hasn't just gone for the easy road of blindly following orders. I have trusted her as a "second me" and that has been so helpful. We couldn't have done any of this without her!

Frequently Asked Questions About Translation Services
What types of businesses usually use these services in the US?
Companies across nearly every industry rely on a professional translation agency to help them communicate with other parts of the world. Â
Legal firms need certified document translations for contracts, patents, and court proceedings. Â
Healthcare providers require accurate medical translations for patient records, clinical trials, and regulatory submissions. In 2020, the demand for translation in healthcare increased by 49% due to the COVID-19.Â
Financial institutions depend on translation for compliance documents, annual reports, and client communications across multiple markets.Â
E-commerce and SaaS companies use translation agencies to localize websites and apps, reaching 76% of consumers who prefer purchasing products in their native language.
Manufacturing businesses translate technical manuals, safety documentation, and training materials.Â
Marketing and advertising agencies need culturally adapted content for international campaigns. Â
Government bodies, educational institutions, travel companies, and media organizations also make up a significant share of the $10.1 billion North American translation market.Â
What translation services do most agencies offer?
The best translation companies in the USA typically offer the following services:Â
Document translation remains the foundation, handling everything from contracts to user guides. Â
Website localization adapts your online presence for different markets, while software localization ensures apps function properly in multiple languages, complete with UI adjustments and cultural considerations. Statistics show that the most widely used language on the internet is English, accounting for 25.3% of all internet content. The second is Chinese at 19.8%, and third is Spanish at 8%.Â
Legal translation requires certified professionals for court documents, patents, and immigration paperwork.Â
Medical translation serves pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and research institutions with precise terminology.Â
Marketing translation (often called transcreation) adapts campaigns to resonate with local audiences while preserving brand voice. Statistics show that 87% of B2C consumers said they would not buy products from an English-only website.Â
Many top translation agencies in the US also provide interpretation services for meetings, conferences, and depositions, along with multilingual SEO support to help clients rank in international search results.Â
How much do translation services cost in the US?
They generally range from $0.08 to $0.25 per word, though rates vary based on several factors. Common language pairs like English-Spanish typically fall on the lower end ($0.10 - $0.15 per word), while rare combinations like English-Icelandic command $0.25 - $0.40 per word due to fewer qualified translators.Â
Subject matter also affects pricing. Legal, medical, and technical documents often run from $0.15-$0.40 per word because they require subject-matter experts. Â
For ongoing projects, many translation companies offer monthly retainers starting at $2,000, with pricing dependent on volume and language pairs. Rush jobs requiring a 24-48-hour turnaround typically incur a 25-50% premium over standard rates.Â
What additional costs should I expect when working with a translation company?
Beyond base per-word rates, several add-ons can increase your total investment by 15-35%. Â
Certified translations for legal or official use typically cost extra, as they include notarization or translator affidavits. Subject-matter experts in fields like law, medicine, or engineering charge premium rates, sometimes 50-100% more than standard translation.Â
Desktop publishing (DTP) services for formatted documents like brochures or manuals run $30-$70 per hour. Rush delivery adds 25-50% for expedited timelines, and same-day service can command premiums of 75-100%. Â
How long does a typical translation project take?
Turnaround times depend heavily on project size and complexity. Â
Small projects (a few pages of standard business content) can be completed in 1-3 days.Â
Medium-sized projects like website translations or technical manuals typically take 1-2 weeks. Â
Large-scale localization programs involving multiple languages, extensive content, and iterative reviews may require several months.Â
Most professional translators handle 2,000-3,000 words per day while maintaining quality.Â
Translation memory tools can speed up projects with repetitive content, potentially reducing time by 40% on technical documents.Â
