With the spread of the Internet, many “self-appointed” translators have launched their own web-based operations and offer low cost translation services without any specialized knowledge of the background of the requested material. Placing orders with these independent translators can end up costing more in expensive rewrites (translation correction) - choose your translation vendor carefully!
Delivery Time (Turnaround Time)
When translating Japanese into English, please allow 2-3 business days for a 2-3 page A4 (1,300 Japanese characters when single-spaced) for an academic paper. For English proofreading, about 3-5 A4 size pages (about 400 English words) can be returned two days after your order has been placed.
Delivery time may vary depending on content and ACN’s current project load at the time of your order. Please feel free to request an estimate.
Please note that ACN does not normally accept same-day or next-day delivery requests. However, exceptions may be made depending on subject matter, volume, and translator workload; in this case a special rush surcharge may apply. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
Also, a special rush surcharge will apply if delivery is required earlier than normal and it is determined that a rush delivery is possible.
