Client Testimonials

“
Europus has provided a variety of language services, including Irish-English and English-Irish translations, to TG4 since the channel was established in 1996. Europus always provides a high quality translation service, in an astute, skillful and professional manner, within deadline and at agreed costs. I would recommend this company to anybody who is looking for a high quality service.

“
During our work with Europus, we have always found them to be extremely professional and efficient; their translation costs are very competitive; and the quality of the translated documents are consistently of a very high standard. The staff in Europus are excellent to work with – friendly, helpful, and always more than accommodating when a translation is required urgently. The Office of the DPP continues to contract Europus on a regular basis for all of these reasons. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Europus for any Irish translation requirements.

Earlier this year, just before delivery to TV3 of two one-hour films, we were informed that they had to have subtitles for the hearing impaired. Faced with a very tight deadline, Europus completed the job through one long weekend, crisis averted! It was an easy and successful collaboration.

FAQs

What does a translation service cost?

Translations are charged on the basis of word count. The cost per word depends on the nature and complexity of the material. There is a basic rate for standard translations such as annual reports and correspondence and a higher rate for more complex material, such as legal text.

Our rates include proofreading by a second translator – great news for clients as they get two services for the price of one. We liaise with publishers and printers to review the final product before print or publication online.
