How Long Does it Take to Translate a Document?

It depends on multiple factors including source and target languages, word count and specialty. In general, translating a 10,000 word document takes a day. After that comes proofreading and quality assurance, which takes another day or two.

Translation speed will differ from language to language. For example, a technical translation will take longer than a general document translation; such as a one-page birth certificate. Learn more about our process here.
