With tolingo’s standardized translation solutions, businesses can access professional translation services starting at just €0.09 per word. Our AI package combines machine translation with Light Post-Editing by experienced translators to deliver fast and cost-effective results. The Smart package offers a smart blend of technology and human expertise starting at €0.11 per word — ideal for technical documents and compliance-related content. For high-end translation needs, our Premium package starts at €0.23 per word and includes full human translation, editing, and a four-eyes principle for quality assurance.

We also create custom translation solutions tailored to your business needs. Translation costs depend on factors such as word count, language pair, translation type, delivery deadline, file format, and subject area. Common language pairs like English–German are typically more affordable than rare combinations. For large or ongoing translation projects, we recommend our personal enterprise consultation for the best value and optimized translation workflows.

For certified translations, pricing is based primarily on the type and length of the document. Layout (continuous text vs. tables), complexity, and volume (from a single-page certificate to a multi-page contract) are all factors in determining the final cost.

Our clients value our certified translation services for business documents, commercial register excerpts, international contracts, and legal documents. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific documents.

For standard private documents (certificates, birth records, diplomas), we recommend our dedicated service Beglaubigung24 — with transparent fixed pricing.

Several key factors influence translation costs for large-scale projects:

Project size and complexity: Beyond volume, content complexity plays a major role. Technical manuals, legal texts, or medical translations require specialized expertise and rigorous quality assurance.

Language combinations: Common languages like English, German, or French are typically more affordable. Rare combinations or multilingual projects demand additional resources.

Urgency and workflow requirements: Express delivery and complex approval processes can increase costs, as can specific formatting needs (e.g. CAD, XML, or InDesign files).

Integration and automation: For companies with frequent translation needs, tailored workflows, API integrations, and translation memory systems significantly reduce long-term translation costs.

Quality assurance: The level of QA defines the review process — from basic proofreading to full linguistic review by subject-matter experts.

We’re happy to create a custom enterprise solution tailored to your needs — including optimized workflows and volume-based pricing.

We offer proven strategies to reduce translation costs for business clients:

Translation memory technology: Our translation memory system stores previously translated segments and reuses them in future projects. For repeat content (e.g. product specs, updates, reports), this can cut costs by up to 30%.

AI-based translation with human quality control: Strategic use of machine translation combined with human editing ensures optimal balance between speed, quality, and cost — ideal for high-volume technical content.

Framework contracts & volume discounts: For businesses with ongoing translation needs, we offer framework agreements with volume-based pricing and streamlined processes.

Process automation: We integrate translation workflows directly into your CMS, PIM, or other enterprise systems to eliminate manual steps and speed up delivery.

Terminology management: Consistent corporate terminology improves quality and reduces post-editing time.

Terminology management is the strategic standardization of company-specific terms across languages, departments, and projects.

Strategic benefits for your business:

• Brand and product consistency: Unified terminology strengthens your brand identity and creates a consistent multilingual customer experience.
• Minimized compliance risk: Clearly defined terminology reduces the risk of errors in legally binding documents.
• Faster workflows: Clear terminology guidelines reduce back-and-forth, speeding up translation processes.
• Higher quality: Correct and consistent use of technical terms increases acceptance by international stakeholders and decision-makers.

Investment & ROI: While initial setup requires resources, a terminology database quickly pays off — especially in regulated industries like medical, pharma, or finance. It reduces translation costs by minimizing revisions and ensuring consistent communication.
