Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions I get asked most often about process, pricing, and tools.
A CAT (computer-assisted translation) tool builds a translation memory (TM) as I work — a database of previously translated segments. On documents with repeated or similar content, this lets me reuse prior work instead of re-translating from scratch, which speeds up delivery and reduces cost, typically by 20–70% depending on how repetitive the source text is.
Per source word, starting at €0.06/word, with automatic discounts applied to repeated or TM-matched content. You'll always get an exact quote before work begins — no hourly billing surprises.

I check email regularly throughout the working day and normally reply within a few hours during business hours (CET).
Bank transfer or PayPal. Payment details are included with every invoice.
Yes — this is standard practice for clinical, regulatory, and patent work, and I'm happy to sign a client's own NDA or confidentiality agreement before reviewing sensitive material.
