02 / TRANSLATION SERVICES
Meaning matters.
So does context.
From a short message to a longer document, a good translation begins with understanding what you want to say—and who needs to hear it.
I hold an MA from the University of Oxford and honours degrees in German, French, Italian and Portuguese.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we begin.
Which language combinations do you offer?
I translate into English from German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Croatian and Slovene (also called Slovenian). Tell me the source language and intended use of your text so I can confirm availability and suitability.
How much does a translation cost?
Pricing is agreed for each project, based on its length, subject, language combination and deadline. Email a brief description and approximate word count to request a quote.
Can you help with an urgent or specialist document?
Please explain your deadline and the document’s intended use. Availability and suitability must be confirmed first. If you need a certified or sworn translation, mention that requirement before commissioning any work.
How do I send an enquiry?
Email info@alanbairdtranslations.com with a short project description. Start with a summary rather than sending sensitive documents in your first message.
