01 / Understand the brief
We establish the language direction, target audience, subject matter, approximate volume, source format, and intended use. Existing translations, terminology lists, and style guidance are reviewed where available.
02 / Agree the scope
Services, deliverables, deadlines, fees, and review responsibilities are confirmed after assessment of the source. For large or recurring work, milestones and terminology decisions can be agreed in advance.
03 / Translate with context
I translate for meaning, clarity, and natural Bengali expression, using appropriate references and agreed tools. Ambiguities in the source are raised as queries.
04 / Review the details
The agreed review can include source comparison, terminology and consistency checks, spelling and punctuation, and relevant formatting checks. Independent review or specialist validation is arranged only where expressly included in the scope.
05 / Deliver and respond
Files are delivered in the agreed format. Feedback and any requested revisions are handled against the approved brief, with source changes or additional work discussed separately.
Common questions
How much does a translation cost?
Fees depend on the service, subject, volume, format, and delivery requirements. Send an initial brief for a project-specific quotation.
Can you work to a tight deadline?
Availability and a realistic delivery date are confirmed after reviewing the scope. Please include your preferred deadline in the enquiry.
Can I send sensitive documents through the form?
Please send an initial brief only. Do not include confidential documents or personal records. A suitable way to share project files can be agreed after contact.
Which direction do you translate?
My principal service is English-to-Bengali translation. If you need another language direction or a combined audio and translation service, describe it in your brief so I can confirm suitability.
Do you use translation memories and glossaries?
Yes. Where suitable, CAT tools, approved terminology, and existing translation memories help maintain consistency. Project access and file requirements are agreed at the start.
