Need a translation? OK, why bother? Call a couple of translation companies to find out their rates in a language pair of interest to you and choose the most cost-effective option.

After having your text translated, you are done with this challenge. End of story, right? Often, not quite.

If the translation has mistakes or does not meet the required standard, you may get in trouble. Translation errors can cost the loss of money, customers, reputation… Yes, they can be costly, even fatal.

Buying a translation is often a source of stress. Where to order? How to be sure that the translation is good?

If you are looking for answers to these and other burning questions, if you have already had discouraging experiences with language service providers, let Language-Translation-Help.com be your personal guide in the translation jungle.

The importance of appropriate translation should not be underestimated. If it is, one risks getting a translation that does not work. For example:
  • A few years ago, tourism officials in Israel issued a sightseeing brochure, which they had translated into English. Many thousands of copies of that brochure were distributed among tourists telling the latter: “Jerusalem. There is no such city!”. However, the correct translation should have read: "Jerusalem. There is no city like it!".
  • An inaccurately translated Russia-Georgia ceasefire agreement complicated conflict resolution. That agreement was signed to stop a war conflict between Russia and Georgia in summer 2008. A French original of the agreement spoke of security "in" South Ossetia and Abkhazia (two Georgian breakaway regions), while a Russian translation said about security “for” those regions. Based on that difference in translation, Russia established buffer zones not envisaged by the original agreement.

To avoid frustration, stress and unnecessary expenses when dealing with language translation, use pieces of advice offered on this website. They are based on accepted translation standards, common sense and 20+ years of my work experience as a professional translator.

As the old Latin proverb says: "Forewarned, forearmed."
