* We make review optional, so you can choose what you need and what you’re paying for. For some projects, additional review is essential. Typically, when translating software or other
“tiny” texts, an additional independent review can boost the quality of the work. When translating documents or websites, the review will always help, but is not always a must.

Software localization

Our system will extract all the texts from your the resource files of your software/app. We will translate and you will receive resource files ready to use. We specialize in iOS localization and Android localization. Because software localization requires an understanding of your applications, we always recommend to include the review.

Website translation

We are experts in translation for WordPress sites. Websites may require certain expertise or knowledge in a specific field, so the price is flexible. After you create your website translation project, you can invite all translators to apply to it or invite specific translators that you like. Translators will bid on your project and you will choose the translator that you like best.

Document translation

You will be able to upload your files for translation. Be sure to explain in the project description what software is required to open and edit your documents. You will set the maximal amount that you are willing to pay and translators will apply for that amount or lower.

Instant translation

This kind of project is great for quick texts, which are simple and require no clarifications. You pay a fixed rate and get the translation within minutes (normally) to hours (for rare language combinations).

    Hi,

    The company I work for has recently purchased your WordPress plugin.

    I can see that you do not offer translation from Danish to English or from Danish to Spanish.

    Will you be offering this in the near future ?

    Best regards

      We can recruit new translators on demand. There are thousands of translators working on the more ‘popular’ languages. For Danish to English and Spanish, I’m sure that we can also hire translators that will work on your project.

    Hello. We had a couple questions about how ICanLocalize structures its payments for WordPress translations.

    1. Is there a price roof on how much an individual translator can charge per word for his/her services?
    2. How many channels for payment are available? For instance, is there an invoice option for enterprises? Or is the client responsible for charging all services to a company credit card?

    Thank you!

    I’ve bought WPML and used it.

    I’m trying to select translation service provider and translate the site.

    ICanLocalize provide 0.09$/word to translate, if program activates then the cost will be charged?

    Is it possible to adjust the cost with translation provider?

    Is there any additional cost for translation? If there is then please tell me in details.

    Is there any free translation service by WPML?
