      Thanks to the Pixelz team we carried out the impossible. A small, sharp but impactful project. Made all the better by Pat's ability to understand the essence of the project quickly and add his storytelling, logistics and technical talent and experience.Whether it was filming our ad, producing live multi-camera events or live-casting online, Pat's network could do it, do it well, do it fast, and do it calmly with smiles on their faces.

      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.

      I contacted Yashvi Translation Services for translation of birth certificate for visa purposes about five days before my visa appointment, so it was quite urgent. I had no idea about the authorized translation for visa applications, so I reached out to them a bit clueless.From the very first call, Jyoti Verma was professional and very helpful, patiently explaining the process and guiding me on what was required. The communication was very smooth and trustworthy as everything was handled through their official email IDs.They delivered the translated soft copy within 24 hours and also dispatched the hard copy on priority so that I could receive it before my appointment.Special thanks to Jyoti Verma, the Project Coordinator, and her team for handling my request so efficiently.Overall, a very professional and reliable experience. Highly recommended, especially if you have an urgent requirement.

      DPI edited a number of short videos for Ashoka, using existing footage and recorded interviews with Ashoka Fellows (social entrepreneurs) to explain about heir system changing innovations to protect biodiversity. The videos were part of a Scaling Social Impact program that we set up in collaboration with a corporate partner. DPI understood very well the purpose of the videos and the message that needed to be communicated. They delivered high quality work and communicated clearly, and on time. We recommend to work with DPI!

      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.

      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!

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.

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.

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.
