Why not use an electronic or online translator?
Text produced by translation software is only an approximation of the message the
original document intended to convey. Machine-based translations can be used for consulting, or to understand
the general meaning of a text. It is not recommended to use these services for business or any document that
requires accuracy. A professional translator has the skills to correctly translate text from one language to
another without losing the original meaning.

Is it possible to have an estimated timeline for your services?

the timeline for your project:
Translation: 1200-1400 words per day
Editing: 4500-6000 words per day
Proofreading: 4000-5000 words per day
Image production:
• Simple graphics: 8-10 per hour
• Regular graphics: 5-7 per hour
• Complex graphics: 2-4 per hour

What is Localization?
Localization is the process of adapting content and applications to specific languages,
local markets and cultures. As you would expect, the essential part of the process entails translation, but
it is also a case of adaptation, with a special focus on cultural nuances, conventions and style. The skill
relies on being able to understand the original message and choosing an equivalent message that will be
similarly appealing. The objective is making the attributes and qualities of your products or services
understandable to a specific culture and location. Our services are designed to help you in the process of
making your web site easily transferable across a multitude of Spanish speaking countries or to a very
specific market sector within the US.
