Types of Book Translation Services

Choose Your Book Translation Services
As a professional book translation company, GTE Localize provides three translation plans, allowing you to always meet your cost targets or demands.
Standard Plan
Translation Only
(2-eye principle)
One native translator is assigned to translate and self-review your book content.
– This method generally gives you a readable translation.
– There might be some minor errors.
– This is the most cost-saving book translation option and is recommended for internal materials or single-use content.
Pro Plan
Translation + Editing
(4-eye principle)
The book is translated by one native translator before being revised by another editor.
– With the involvement of two native linguists, your translated book is polished and error-free.
– This option balances three important factors: quality, cost, and turnaround time.
– It should be used for book localization.
Premium Plan
Translation + Editing + Proofreading
(6-eye principle)
Your book is carried out by three native linguists, who will perform the three steps: translating, editing, and proofreading.
– Three native linguists can handle the book, making it perfect and ready to publish.
– This option is the most expensive but the quality is the highest.
– It is suggested for critical marketing materials and high-visibility book content.

Reasons to Have Professional Book Translation Services
Using professional book translation services is highly recommended because:
Widen Audience Reach
Reaching a wider audience is valuable for authors when introducing their books to global audiences. They can translate the original language of their books into many different new languages appropriate for different contexts in different countries.
Increase Sales and Rankings
A more significant number of audiences increases revenue and compliments the author for a valuable book. Highly-rated books and best-sellers should be available in most languages. This will increase the popularity and love of the audience for the book.
Enjoy Reduced Competition
Authors who have access to translation will find it easy to introduce their books to an international audience. This will be more beneficial in competing as well as reaching potential audiences while others do not approach the translation in advance.
Book Translation Services Q&A
We analyze numerous factors affecting book translation prices to get an exact estimate for a book translation project:
– Project capacity: We usually give per-word or per-character price. Our translation rates are based on the word count or character count.
– Service required: The prices will depend on your translation option. A translation option that needs more steps will cost a higher price. According to your budget and requirements, you can choose among these plans: Translation Only (TO), Translation and Editing (TE), or Translation + Editing + Proofreading (TEP).
– Industry expertise: Any need for the translator’s unique knowledge may impact the cost. Special expertise is frequently associated with a thorough understanding of a field and a thorough command of its vocabulary.
