For interpreting, we charge an hourly rate, with quarter hour billing after the first hour plus travel pay for the interpreter in both directions. All of our translators and interpreters are contractually bound to maintain strict confidentiality in all projects not a matter of public record. If you have a confidentiality agreement you require, we will, of course, be happy to execute that as well. I've seen translation software in the stores. Even the best translation software produces unexpected and often confusing results.
Language is a human activity.
The point is that no computer program can read a sentence and get the context right in translation. That requires human effort and intelligence. Save your money. We work in Word Perfect, Microsoft Word and Lotus Word Pro word processing formats. We can also export your files into any current word processing format, if required.
