Just to clarify, pricing is as follows: $10 - 50 words or less $50 - 200 words or less $100 - 400 words or less

This is quite a bit more expensive than agencies I've worked with in the past, and those typically involve a translator + proofreader who are at least somewhat knowledgeable about the topic being translated, so the quality is pretty good.

I suppose some people will be happy to pay a premium for a quick turn around, but personally I care about the quality much more than the delivery time.

We've removed the example for now. If you do decide to try us out, and are unsatisfied with your translation, we'll retranslate it.

Your customers need to be able to trust the quality of the translation because almost by definition they are not in a position to judge it themselves.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll take it into consideration.

So if I get 400 words translated together it costs me $100.

But if I split it up in to 50 word blocks I can get 500 words translated for $100.

THIS. So much this.
