What people ask before sending a file

Answers are limited to what we can confirm at intake.

What do you need from me for pdf document translation?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing — nothing is quoted from a template.
Is pdf form translation accepted by the receiving office?
Turnaround is confirmed at intake, not estimated here. Standard documents usually run in days; anything needing a third party takes longer and we say so before you commit.
Can scanned pdf translation be done from a scan or photo?
A second reader reviews the translation against the source before delivery. Terminology stays on the list agreed at intake and formatting is checked on the output file.
Who reviews fillable pdf translation before it is sent?
Scans and phone photos are accepted for most documents. If legibility is a problem we tell you what to re-shoot rather than guessing at the text.
How is ai pdf translation service handled?
If it depends on the receiving office we will not claim otherwise. Where the requirement is unclear we say it is unclear and tell you exactly what to ask them.
Who reviews human pdf translation service before it is sent?
A second reader reviews the translation against the source before delivery. Terminology stays on the list agreed at intake and formatting is checked on the output file.
