Translation Services Quick Quote Calculator

From technical writers to marketing managers, website content authors to corporate training instructors, from time-to-time many professionals need a quick and accurate translation cost estimate. Whether a full website, short instruction manual and/or global SEO keyword list and campaigns, having translation costs and time estimates at your fingertips can really help in that next budget meeting.

While it is possible to submit source files and get translation costs based on actual word counts, a tool that allows you in real time to obtain translation costs by punching in a few key metrics is really a lifesaver when planning and justifying budgets before the content is actually written.

For 2021, Globalization Partners International has made available the latest, most comprehensive Translation Quick Quote Calculator (QQC) in the marketplace.
