Too pricey, too slow, too confusing

So, you’ve scoured our website, had a play with our price calculator and maybe even received a quote… but you’ve decided not to go ahead. Why? Well, probably for one of three reasons…because of price, turnaround time, or you’re just not really sure what it is you need!

We’re always happy to take a look at the situation and answer any queries you might have. Often, we’re able to find a great solution that meets everybody’s needs. Here are a few of the things we could be able to do for you.

Price too high? Just say. There might be some wiggle room.

Our competitive prices reflect the high standards of our professional translators behind every project we take on. However, we know that every translation project is different, with no two organisations or businesses the same. 

We offer discounts on lengthy texts and for charities, and we’re also able to take each project on a case-by-case basis if you have a limited budget. If you just need gist translation, we might be able to offer discounts too, since there may not be the need for added certification. 

Turnaround too slow? Let us know. We will endeavour to work to your deadline.

Our qualified and professional translators have all the skills required to deliver projects on a timely basis. The brilliant quality that we’re recognised for comes from getting every step of the translation process spot on, and that can sometimes take time.

However, if you’ve got a larger project and have concerns about turnaround time, we can split work between a team of linguists to speed up the process and find a timeframe that works for you. It’s always worth asking!

Not really sure what it is you need? Give us a call. We’re happy to discuss options.

Languages can be intimidating. We get it, and our team of project managers and professional translators are on hand to answer any queries you may have. With over thirty years’ experience in the translation industry, we’ve got the know-how to find the perfect match for any linguistic issue.

Whether you’re working on an international marketing campaign or a personal document, it never hurts to get an expert opinion. Get in touch with us on 01727 812725 or by emailing team@atlas-translations.co.uk to find out more about the fantastic services we have on offer.
