2002 Studios Media LTD Reviews & Testimonials
Web Design Review from Robert Rams MBE
Steven and the team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amy and I genuinely could not be happier with the support, care and professionalism they showed throughout the process. They went above and beyond for us at every stage, always making us feel reassured and supported.We are hugely grateful for everything they did and cannot thank them enough. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven and the team to anyone looking for first-class service and support.
Audio Production Review from Larry Charles, Jr.
Although GLH is the latest project I've worked on with 2002 Studios, I'm a long standing repeat business account for them accross multiple projects and I will continue to work with them down the line. The team is available in roughly any timezone (I've come to find out), quite responsive and knowledgeable. I've been helped through small fixes or big deliveries with confidence and ease.Due to the nature of of entertainment, there have been times where feedback improvements needed to be identified and fixed, and without any fuss or extra cost (reasonably) we got the support we needed and timely without any change in attitude towards us, true professionals and customer concious business practices.Audio Services, website design, sound composition and original score, and even marketing support. All stellar and all from one source. I am happy to reccomend them, and actively refer them to new clients when I can.
Audio Production Review from Joe Seward
The quality of work from 2002 Studios Media has been consistently strong. Their team delivers clear, accurate localization and polished content that stays true to the original intent. They show a solid grasp of both language and context, which is essential for this type of work.Projects are delivered on time, even when timelines are tight. The team communicates early if anything could affect delivery, which helps avoid surprises and keeps everything moving smoothly.They are easy to reach and quick to respond. Questions are handled clearly, and feedback is addressed without delay. This makes collaboration simple and efficient across all stages of a project.Pricing is fair for the level of quality and service provided. There is a good balance between cost and value, especially for projects that require careful localization and attention to detail.Overall, I am very satisfied with the experience. 2002 Studios Media is a reliable partner for localization and content production, and I would work with them again.

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

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Technology and capabilities: Modern providers combine human translation with tools like machine translation and CAT software to improve speed and consistency without sacrificing quality.
- 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.
