You receive many benefits when you work with a translation agency (like Common Ground International). Not all certified translators are the same. An agency has deep professional relationships with translators who they have been working with for years. This assures quality, timeliness and predictability. If you have just a document or two here and there to translate, your translation job may or may not be given much priority. You don’t know how this person works. You’ll have to figure out how to pay them, and you’ll be taking a leap of faith that they can deliver on what they’re promising you. Additionally, a professional translation job requires more than one pair of eyes on a given document. If you hire a translator on your own, you’ll still need to hire a second set of eyes to edit the document. When you choose Common Ground Int’l as your document translator, we do all of this for you.
