      My collaboration with Popie and the MTLT team overall has been an exciting and professional one since day one when we started the project. Although our demands were high and the timeframe very tight, the team managed to exceed our expectations with their professionalism and the execution of their structured plan. It is quite impressive to see that, in uncertain times like ours, there are still professionals who don't sacrifice quality.

      I used this company for one of my books that I recently published. They falsely represented that they could get me into best seller status, which would help boost my sales. In reality what they did is something I can do on Amazon myself which is freely promote my e-book edition of my book. So while this temporarily boosts algorithm on Amazon for that category only it does nothing to help the rest of my book editions sell. I’m disgusted with how this company represents what they actually do and the fact that I paid a bunch of money and have zero results to show for it. I do not recommend you use this company as you will waste your money and your time and end up in the same spot you would be in if you did it yourself.

      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.

      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.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Translation Companies

What translation services do most companies offer?

They offer a broad range of services to support global communication, compliance, and localization. 

As the industry has grown into a $71+ billion global market, services have expanded beyond basic translation.

  • Document translation: Translating contracts, manuals, reports, and official records. Many providers also offer certified translation for legal, immigration, or government use.
  • Website translation and localization: Translation agencies translate and adapt websites, apps, and digital content for different markets. Localization goes further by adjusting tone, cultural references, and UX, and accounts for 96.2% of the services offered, according to the 2025 Nimdzi 100 report. Interpretation services account for over 16% of the total language services market, valued at roughly $11.7 billion in 2024. Interpreting enables real-time communication, including over-the-phone, video remote, and on-site interpreting.
  • Specialized translation: Expert translations for niche fields, such as medical translation (clinical documents, patient records), legal translation (contracts, compliance documents), financial translation (reports, audits), and marketing translation (campaigns, brand messaging).
  • Certified and professional translation services: They often include quality assurance, editing, and proofreading to ensure accuracy.
  • Machine translation and post-editing: With AI adoption rising, a professional translation agency now combines machine translation with human review (post-editing). According to the 2025 Nimdzi 100 report, machine translation accounts for 82.4% of offered services.
  • Multilingual content and language services: Beyond translation, agencies provide full language services, including multilingual content creation, transcription and subtitling, and language access solutions for diverse audiences.

How much do translation companies charge for their services?

The pricing varies based on word count, complexity, specialization, and region.

Most translation firms charge $0.10-$0.20 per word for standard projects, with higher rates for certified translation, specialized industries, or multilingual localization.

The most common pricing structures include:

  • Per word: 
    • $0.08-$0.15 for standard content 
    • $0.15-$0.30 for professional translation
    • $0.20-$0.40+ for specialized fields like legal or medical
  • Per page (common for certified translation): $25-$150 per page
  • Hourly rates (editing, interpreting, complex work): $30-$100+ per hour

Website localization projects often range from $1,500 to $25,000+ per language for larger, content-heavy sites. 

According to multiple sources, a regional breakdown looks like this:

  • North America (USA/Canada): $0.10-$0.20 per word
  • Western Europe: $0.12-$0.22 per word
  • Eastern Europe: $0.06-$0.12 per word
  • Asia (India, China, Japan): $0.05-$0.15 per word
  • Latin America: $0.06-$0.10 per word
  • Middle East: $0.08-$0.14 per word
  • Africa: $0.04-$0.10 per word

What is the difference between translation and interpretation services?

The difference comes down to how and when language is converted.

Translation deals with written content, such as documents, websites, or legal texts.

Interpreting focuses on spoken communication in real time, helping people understand each other instantly.  

Translation Interpretation
Converts written text from one language to another  Converts spoken language in real time
Allows time for editing, proofreading, and quality checks Happens instantly with little to no revision
Used for documents, websites, and localization  Used in meetings, conferences, healthcare, and legal settings
Focuses on accuracy, tone, and formatting Focuses on clarity, speed, and verbal delivery
Performed by a professional translator using tools and references Performed by interpreters using listening and memory skills

How long does document translation take?

The turnaround time for document translation services depends on length, complexity, and language pair.

Translation companies handle about 2,000-3,000 words per day on average for standard content. Editing and proofreading can add 1-2 days to the quality assurance process.

Timelines by project type:

  • Short documents (1-2 pages): 24-48 hours
  • Standard business documents (2,000-5,000 words): 1-3 days
  • Technical, legal, or medical translation: 3-5+ days due to complexity
  • Large projects (websites, manuals): Several days to a few weeks

When do I need a certified translation service?

You need it when a translated document must be legally valid, officially accepted, or verified for accuracy by an authority. If your document is being submitted to a government body, court, university, or official institution, you will likely need a certified translation, instead of a standard document translation service.

In these cases, certified translation agencies provide a signed statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate, often required by institutions in the United States and globally.

Common situations that require certified translation:

  • Immigration and visas: Authorities like USCIS require them for documents, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and passports. 
  • Legal proceedings: Courts and law firms require certified translations for contracts, affidavits, and evidence to ensure compliance and accuracy. 
  • Academic applications: Schools and universities often request certified translations of diplomas, transcripts, and recommendation letters. 
  • Government and official use: Many agencies require them for licenses, permits, or identity documents. 
  • Financial and business documents: Certified translations may be needed for audits, tax filings, or international business registration.

What should I look for in a translation agency?

Choosing the right translation firm is critical for accuracy, compliance, and global reach. The best providers combine expert linguists, strong quality processes, and scalable language services.

Key factors to consider:

  1. Qualified and expert translators: Look for translation firms that work with professional translators who are native speakers and specialize in fields like legal, medical, or financial translation. Subject-matter expertise directly impacts accuracy.
  2. Range of translation services: Top agencies offer a wide range of services, including document translation, website translation and localization, interpretation services, and certified translation services.
  3. Quality assurance process: Reliable translation companies follow multi-step workflows, including translation, editing, and proofreading. Many adhere to standards like ISO 17100, which defines requirements for professional translation services and quality control.
  4. Accuracy and consistency: Consistency across different languages is essential for branding and compliance. Leading agencies use glossaries, style guides, and translation memory tools to maintain accurate translation at scale.
  5. Technology and capabilities: Modern providers combine human translation with tools like machine translation and CAT software to improve speed and consistency without sacrificing quality.
  6. Industry experience and use cases: Check if the translation services company has experience in your sector, whether it's marketing translation, legal translation, or medical translation, and can handle region-specific needs like the United States or Latin America.
