Complete Translations recruits the best translators and will only work with other suppliers who can prove their competency in the service they provide. Our criteria are strict, and designed only to include those translators who have the qualifications and experience to undertake the work to the standard Complete Translations demands.

All our work is completed by fully qualified, professional translators. Each translator specialises in a particular area, for example, legal translations, medical translations, software, marketing, financial translations or advertising.  We are currently able to offer a translation service in over 100 languages.

All the suppliers we work with are fully qualified in their field, are rigorously vetted and must be able to demonstrate the utmost competency in the services they offer.

The use of translation memory software allows our translators to create a linguistic database during the process of translation. So, if the same or similar source text is encountered in future translation work, our translators have the previously translated phrase at their fingertips. This ensures consistency in the use of terms, increased productivity and cost savings.

Proofreading is the task of comparing a final text with the original text, and ensuring that there are no spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, misunderstandings, omissions or ambiguities. A proofreader will also consider the style and vocabulary of the translation, and may make constructive suggestions to improve the syntax and clarity of the text. The proofreading process will also include the verification of tables, figures, numbers, names, abbreviations, spacing, punctuation, metric conversions and so on.

For language proofreading we compare a translation with the original text, and carry out the same tasks.

If your translation is for internal use only, you may decide that a proofreading stage is not essential. We do very strongly recommend proofreading for all translations destined for publication, just as you would expect with any material produced in English.

Our proofreading is usually completed using the “track changes” function by independent native speakers, who are specialists in particular subject areas.

General idea of prices

We have some of the most competitive prices out there for quality translations. As we don't spend a fortune on expensive sales reps and brochures, we can keep our prices to a minimum while conserving the quality of using qualified, vetted, native speaker translators. Our prices start from £46.75 per 1,000 words.

Prices start from:
• 1,000 words - £60 (note: £60 is our minimum charge for any document, however small)

What do our prices depend on?

1) Language pair (e.g. English into Spanish or French into English or German into Italian etc) - more exotic languages cost more, translations INTO English cost more than translations FROM English
2) Number of words - for very short translations we have a minimum charge of £60. For larger translations (above 5,000 words) discounts are automatically built into our prices.
3) Timescale - the longer you can give us to do your translation, the lower our prices. Urgent translations are more expensive as it means we often have to rearrange the work schedules of our translators.
4) Type of language - general translations are the cheapest while legal, technical and literary translations cost more as only specific translators are qualified to do them.
5) Proofreading - if you require a second qualified, native-speaker translator to double-check the work, we add 50% to our prices. We strongly recommend this for most legal documents and anything which is going to be printed (once it's printed, you can't make changes whereas on websites it's easy to change the odd mista
