I have worked with them for a few years already and can say that I am very happy. They are serious and stick to their words. They offer some good projects to work on, either translating documents or even in the AI area. I have learned a lot with them over the last years and am happy to keep on working with them. Obviously not everything is perfect, but until now, every single problem has been solved satisfactorily. So there is nothing to complain about. Thanks a lot.

Angie Alexandra's Review Sourced from Google
I've been delighted with the attractive web and logo designs and their knowledge of SEO. Whenever I've had a question, I've always received a thorough no jargon answer and I'm delighted with how many enquiries come from the sites. I appreciate their honesty, kindness, and dedication to ensuring I'm a satisfied client.
I first hired Indigoextra more than ten years ago to create a website offering my services as an interfaith wedding celebrant. Over the years Indigoextra have created two further fabulous websites for me, as well as upgrading my initial site to make it mobile friendly. They have also completed an SEO campaign for the group website scottishweddingceremony.co.uk for which me and my colleagues now rank on the first page of Google for 'Scottish Wedding', which we are all delighted with.
The first website, gettingmarriedinscotland.org included a logo design, Drupal web design and SEO. Since then, they have upgraded the site and created Scottish Wedding Ceremony which now provides details of 20 different interfaith ministers in Scotland.
They created an interface where ministers can login and add their own content and photos, helped write content for ministers following an online chat with them where this was required and optimised the site for several keywords. They also created a dedicated same sex LGBTQIA+ wedding website site for me echoing the design of the first wedding website.
Both GettingmarriedinScotland and Scottishweddingceremony websites now rank on the first page for a range of target keywords and form my main source of enquiries. The ministers featured on Scottish Wedding Ceremony nearly always renew, which indicates they are also happy with both the service and the number of enquiries they receive.

Martin and the team at Indigoextra have been amazing. After working with multiple SEO agencies over the past 20 years, I can confidently say they are the most friendly, knowledgeable, helpful (and amazingly also least expensive!) of all the agencies we've tried. Our rankings have increased steadily since we started with them, and Martin checks the website every month for anything we should improve on-page. Absolutely recommend!

Indigoextra listened to my ideas and needs and designed a logo, website navigation/functionality to suit my various areas of my business. They helped me with content to include targeted keywords based on their research for what my potential customers would have searched for. They built links and manage the SEO for my site.
I have a website that ranks first on the first page of Google for all four areas of my business in my town and county. WellBeingOne has grown from a fledging venture at the first date that the website went live to a succsesful business. My Chi Kung classes are full and my health therapy clinic has a constant stream of new clients discovering me from the website.
They have continued to respond rapidly to any changes or additions that have become necessary with design, CMS and SEO. New therapy areas that I have trained in over the years have been built into the website and have quickly ranked highly on the first page and today rank first on the first page.
I am able to relax and get on with the practical delivery of my business knowing that they will take care of the marketing. They are also extremely approachable and able to explain in clear non jargon how the website and SEO work.

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.Â
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:Â
$0.08-$0.15 for standard contentÂ
$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.Â
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. Â

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.Â
Legal proceedings: Courts and law firms require certified translations for contracts, affidavits, and evidence to ensure compliance and accuracy.Â
Academic applications: Schools and universities often request certified translations of diplomas, transcripts, and recommendation letters.Â
Government and official use: Many agencies require them for licenses, permits, or identity documents.Â
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.
