File Formats and Delivery Options:

Original documents should preferably be sent in electronic format, via e-mail. You may also mail or fax hard copies if that is all you have. Please note that poor-quality copies may incur extra fees if the text becomes difficult to read. I do not translate handwritten material.

I deliver translations by e-mail, fax, mail or courier, at your preference. I can deliver electronic documents in the following formats:

Microsoft Word - versions 2000 and above can be made Hebrew-compatible by changing a few settings

PDF - this is the preferred method when you need to view Hebrew text on a computer system that is not set up to handle Hebrew characters. You can download the free Acrobat Reader here.

JPEG or GIFF - this is only practical for very short translations of a few words

Turnaround Time:

Different factors determine how long a translation project takes. These include the length of the text, the amount of research needed, and whether any special formatting is requested. As a general guideline, I can normally translate a short document (up to approx. 10 pages) within 2 business days. My average daily output for non-technical material is 2,500 - 3,500 words.

I can commit to a precise delivery date only after seeing the entire original document.

 

Confidentiality:

I maintain the confidentiality of all client information and translation projects. My files are not accessible to anyone but myself, and they are backed up daily to a password-protected remote site. I am happy to sign a confidentially and non-disclosure agreement with any client who requests it.
