Our pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents.

We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software, which uses translation memories to avoid re-translating previously translated content and detects repetitions within and between files. This allows us to offer you shorter turnaround times and consistent translations.

For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order. Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, which is tailored to the content and use context.

All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in Article 226-13 of the French Criminal Code, as well as by the commitments enshrined in Orkera’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

To back up these commitments, we sign specific non-disclosure agreements with our clients on request.

You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:

– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.
