Written Translation & Certification
Academic Translation
Academic translation has to get more than the terminology right: it must also reflect academic style, citation conventions and publication guidelines. We assign your articles, theses and applications to translators experienced in the relevant discipline, and check them separately for terminology and the target institution's style requirements.
Academic texts we translate
- Journal articles and manuscripts
- Theses, abstracts and extended abstracts
- Conference papers and presentations
- Book chapters
- Research grant and scholarship applications
- Statements of purpose and CVs
- Diplomas, transcripts and course descriptions
- Documents for degree recognition (equivalency) applications
How it works
Send your text
Please also tell us the target journal or institution and share its style guide, if there is one.
Get a quote
We send you the price and delivery date in writing. At this stage, we also agree on whether the reference list should be translated.
Translation and review
A translator who specializes in your field handles the text. Our editor checks terms, citations and academic style.
Delivery
We deliver by email in an editable format. For official use, we can also provide sworn or notarized copies.
Pricing and turnaround
We price by source word count. Language pair and turnaround determine the rate. If you're working to a submission or publication deadline, we plan delivery around it. We confirm the final date in writing with the quote.
FAQ
Can I get just language editing for a journal submission?
Yes. We review texts you've written in a foreign language as part of our Editing & Proofreading service, and deliver the corrections with track changes on.
What do you need for diploma and transcript translation?
A legible copy of the document is enough for a quote. Schools abroad usually require a sworn or notarized translation, and some countries also require an apostille.
Can I have just the abstract translated instead of the whole thesis?
Yes. We can translate the abstract, the extended abstract or selected chapters separately.
