Can I translate a portfolio or a short excerpt?

Yes. Submit the written material you want translated, including captions or introductory text that belongs with the main piece.

How can I help preserve the voice of my writing?

Provide the intended audience, context for the work, and any preferences for recurring names or terms. That gives the translator a fuller understanding of the text you supply.

What does the independent certificate relate to?

The Certificate of Translation Accuracy relates to the translation of the source text you provided. It gives a signed statement of accuracy alongside the translated document.

Does delivery include a publication layout?

Standard delivery is a digital PDF of the translation. Contact support@suretranslation.com before ordering if your publisher or project needs an editable file or a particular layout.
