Regular clients and any full-time faculty who provide us with complete and verifiable contact details are eligible to pay for our editing service on completion. We commence editing as soon as the interactive quote is confirmed.
For other clients and students we require payment before commencing work. You will receive a PDF invoice with payment instructions via email immediately upon confirmation of your interactive quote. Please arrange payment as soon as possible as the service period selected commences only when we have received confirmation of payment.
We count every day of the week, including weekends and public holidays, in our calculation of return date.
But please note that an additional day will be added to the return date calculation if we receive your quote confirmation after 6.00 p.m. (HK time, UTC +8 hours).
For example:
If you confirm your quote before 6.00 p.m. (HK time, UTC +8 hours) on Friday:
On the other hand, if you confirm your quote after 6.00 p.m. (HK time, UTC +8 hours) on Friday:
Yes, unless you confirm your quote after 6.00 p.m. (HK time, UTC +8 hours), when an additional day will be added in your return date calculation.
Yes. To ensure no delay in your return schedule, we issue quotes and commence jobs during weekends and public holidays, except 25 December, 1 January and the first day of Chinese New Year.
All translations from Chinese to English include an additional round of professional English editing by one of our highly-skilled and experienced native English-speaking editors to ensure the highest quality.
Our expertise lies in translations from Chinese to English and English to Chinese. We can work on both traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.
In general, we are able to return documents of up to 2,000 words or characters within 4 days. For documents over 2,000 words or characters, we will specify a return schedule on a case-by-case basis when we send you a quote.
For Chinese to English translations, we may offer you the option of being able to review the translation before it goes to the English editor for language editing. The days that the document is with you during this pre-editing review stage is not included in the estimated delivery time.
Yes, our minimum order value for any translation service is HK$300 (or equivalent amount in other currencies).
As we quote on word count AND the level of editing required, we can only provide a fixed quote when we can review the final document. However, you are welcome to get in touch anytime during drafting and we can review your writing and, taking final expected word count into account, provide a rough estimate.
If you would like an estimate based simply on the time it would take for us to edit an average document of the same length you can use our online cost estimator.
