Frequently Asked Questions
Based on our standard throughputs for the services we offer and your specific requirements, we’ll give you a turnaround time as part of our quote. If you have a specific deadline in mind, we’ll aim to meet it wherever possible and discuss adapting the service if necessary.
Both services need to consider the purpose and audience for the content, but localisation, as the name suggests, ensures the content is fully tailored to a specific locality and culture, which might mean more creative adaptation of the content.
The freelance linguists who work on your content are quality checked during onboarding and on an ongoing basis. All our workflows contain a quality assurance stage. We also hold ISO17100 and ISO9001 certifications which we have to renew every year.
We aim to translate all languages, including some that are underserved. Our dedicated in-house vendor managers are always on the lookout for talented translators and copywriters across a wide range of languages and subject areas.
ALM specialises in technical and regulated industries, including life sciences, MedTech, manufacturing, automotive, engineering, chemical and software. Our teams are selected according to the subject matter, terminology and requirements of each project.
Our pricing is based on the volume of content and the amount of effort and time needed to deliver it to you in the format you need. Most language projects are priced per word or by the hour. For typesetting projects we also calculate prices per page. Subtitling and voiceover tend to be per minute. Prices vary across languages as our linguists are based in different countries, where cost of living varies.
Our language and translation experts sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and we are happy to sign your NDAs if required. We have in-house policies for IT security and data protection in accordance with UK legislation to keep your data and content safe and secure.
We are able to work with any file format. We have an in-house engineering and development team who are able to process any file to a format our linguists can easily work with. We then finalise the files and return them to you in the same original format.
You don’t need to know exactly what to ask for when you come to us! It’s our job to work with you from the outset to understand your needs and goals. We then talk you through the options available and make a recommendation on what is most suitable.
