Once your project is accepted, the translator will start working on your project. For all large projects, we will also update progress of the project from time to time. If you have any specific translation request that you missed to send while submitting the project, you can email it to us. If you have additional files in the project, you can email them too.
How can I be sure that the translator has understood my project specific requirement?
In majority of cases, this is hardly a problem. These translators are experienced professional translators who know their jobs. Besides choosing a translator with high customer rating and experience can help coz they have enormous experience of handling wide variety of projects. However if you have a complicated project at hand or a project demanding a different and more specific treatment, it is best to write your requirements clearly and in detail while submitting the project. You can also ask the translator to complete a small portion as 200 or 300 words to demonstrate to you that he/she has figured out your specific request. Alternatively you also have the option to submit complicated projects or those with specific requests directly to our project managers to ensure their active assistance in ensuring that your requirements are met seamlessly.

If you still need to sign a Non-disclosure agreement with our company, we will be happy to do it.
Why are there different quote for the same project?
The difference in quotes is due to different fees of different translators. Translation is an art. Different translators charge differently, often on basis of their professional qualification & training, years of experience in translation, expertise etc. As a company based on Total Efficiency Model, we know that different professionals who bring different skills and different quality of service on table will not work on equal pay. Besides cost of living and wage rate in different countries are different, and we would like to pass the cost benefit to customer in all such cases where we can. We proactively take steps from time to time to ensure that translator fees on our panel are comparable with their level of service and efficiency to bring highest standards of cost efficiency to our customers.

Yes, in case a translator who has accepted a project but is not available to complete the project, due to any unforeseeable reason such as falling sick or any other issue, we will allocate the work to another translator once it comes to our notice and try to get the translation completed within the timelines as far as possible or at the earliest depending upon when this information is reported to us by translator and availability of other translators. In case there is no close match to the same price available at that time, we will inform the client and the client shall have to pay the difference in fees.

Once you select a translator at their quoted price and he/she has accepted it, you are going to get the translation at the same price in most cases except following certain circumstances

Translation is done and proofread by respective Translators, not by Translation Work Zone Team. We take steps in our Quality module to help ensure that you get good service. We screen translator profiles and give them their first rating basis their quality of sample, (sometimes quality evaluation test), experience, education etc.
If you need to get translation done by one translator and checked by someone else before it reaches you, then you shall have to order a third party proofreading. Any translation company in world would include a third party proofreading only if the client demands it and pays for it. This can be done easily upon completion of your translation.
What if I need to get any changes done in the translation?
You can request for correction. The suggestions can be made by inserting comments.
What if I don’t like the quality of translation?
We shall send the document to another translator for quality check to verify the extent of issue and work with you and the Translator to work out a solution.
Do you offer refunds?
No, we do not offer refunds. If there are justifying circumstances, please open up a ticket with us by sending us an email.
