In order to ensure top quality we only use native speakers. In addition, all our translations are thoroughly checked and proofed for accuracy and authenticity by a third party. A1 Translations works with a number of native speaker associates, including Miguel Ruiz Trigueros (Spanish), Marta Amigó (Catalán and Spanish), Sandrine Dos-Santos (French), Marleen Pieper (Dutch), Johannes Bänsch and Rita Koehler (German), Yuliya MacNee (Russian), Svanhild Aldal (Norwegian), Ahmad Hafeez (Arabic), Liang Huan (Chinese) and John Cottam and Jill Wynne (English).
A1 Translations is part of a network of translators, with offices in England (Manchester, Warrington) and Spain (Ronda, San Pedro de Alcántara). Consequently, we have access to a full range of trained, professional translators who can cover most languages. In other words, if we can’t do it, we know someone who can. |

.jpg) Translation pricing is dependent on three variables; the language in question, the degree of difficulty of the text and the desired delivery time. So, common languages like English, Spanish, German and French are cheaper than Russian, Norwegian or Greek. Legal or technical texts are more expensive than material in normal everyday language. If a translation is needed in a hurry, it may cost a little more. The price is based on the word count of the source text.

A1 Translations: Frequently Asked Questions
|
| |
|
How much will it cost?
 Translation prices vary. While high prices do not necessarily guarantee high quality, low prices will almost certainly not give you the quality of translation that your company, product or service demands. After all, if a translator is charging little more than a cleaner or babysitter, they are unlikely to be giving your job the attention and care it deserves.
