Price sheet issued October 2026

You want to know what your file will cost before anyone opens it. Here is the whole price sheet.

Twelve kinds of document, three languages, one fixed figure per project between $300 and $1,500. Every price below already carries the certified translation, the second linguist’s line-by-line read and the formatting to FDA labeling conventions. Nothing is added at the end.

Certified with every file An instructions-for-use booklet in Spanish and Vietnamese marked up in oxblood ink beside a sheet of device labels and a signed certificate of accuracy.
A proof at the second read: every tone mark circled, every unit ticked against the English, before the page is set.

The price sheet

Every Document We Carry Across, and What It Costs

One project is one source document into one language. Each line is a fixed project price that already includes the certificate, the second read and the setting of the page. Press “Quote this” and we’ll start your note for you.

A proof from the review desk

One Warning, Three Languages, Every Mark Accounted For

This is what the second linguist reads for. Below, a two-word caption from an English IFU, as it leaves our desk in each language, with the margin notes the reviewer signs off before the page is set.

“Do not reuse.”

Source text, English · caption to ISO 15223-1 symbol 5.4.2

ESU.S. Spanish

No reutilizar.

Labeling infinitive, as Spanish carton warnings are set

The reviewer’s margin

  1. Infinitive form, not the command “No reutilice” — the register your carton uses for every other warning.
  2. Matches the caption already fixed in your symbol glossary, so the IFU and the label say it the same way.
  3. Read beside the symbol it captions, not alone in a spreadsheet cell.
Checked against glossary

Không tái sử dụng.

Four syllables, five diacritic marks

The reviewer’s margin

  1. Five marks over four syllables — ô, á, the horn and hook on ử, the dot under ụ — each checked in the exported PDF, where a substituted font drops them without warning.
  2. “dụng” takes a plain d, not đ. A one-stroke difference that changes the word.
  3. Line break held so “sử dụng” never splits across two lines of a narrow label.

HTHaitian Creole

Pa sèvi ak li ankò.

Literally: “don’t use it again”

The reviewer’s margin

  1. Written the way a patient says it aloud, not a borrowed French “réutiliser” dressed in Kreyòl spelling.
  2. Standard orthography throughout: sèvi with its grave accent, ankò with its ò.
  3. Longer than the English by design — we flag the added width to your layout team before it reaches the carton.
Plain spoken register

What comes back to you

Five Files in Every Finished Folder

Whatever line of the price sheet you chose, the delivery is the same set of papers — named to your document, its revision letter and the language, so they drop into your labeling records without renaming.

  1. No. 01

    IFU_RevC_VI.idml · IFU_RevC_VI.pdf

    Print-ready files

    Your layout, returned in its own format, set and proofed in the exported PDF — where fonts actually fail.

  2. No. 02 Signed in ink

    HV-Certificate_IFU-RevC_VI.pdf

    Certificate of accuracy

    Names the document, the revision letter, the language, the translator and the reviewer. Dated and ready to file.

  3. No. 03

    HV-ReconLog_IFU-RevC_VI.xlsx

    Reconciliation log

    Every point where the two linguists disagreed, how it was settled and why — so your QA reviewer never has to guess.

  4. No. 04

    HV-Glossary_VI.tbx

    Project glossary

    The device terms, units and warnings fixed for this file, as a termbase your next revision — or your next vendor — can load.

  5. No. 05

    HV-Queries_IFU-RevC.pdf

    Query sheet

    Questions about your English raised along the way — an ambiguous “it,” a unit that changes between pages — so your engineers settle them before print.

Scope, plainly

What This Desk Takes On — and What It Hands Back Unopened

A short list of yeses and a short list of noes, so you know before you send whether your file belongs here.

Taken on Gladly

  • Working files in, working files out.IDML, DOCX, XLIFF or editable PDF, returned in the same format.
  • Your earlier translations and termbase.Honoured, unless we can show you in writing why a term is wrong.
  • One round of reviewer comments.From your in-country or clinical reviewer, answered point by point, certificate reissued.
  • Several documents, or all three languages.Quoted together on one sheet with one delivery date.
  • Flattened scans, after a look.Rebuilding the page is real work, so we see it before we price it.

Turned away Politely

  • A fourth language.We won’t pass your labeling to a linguist we don’t read alongside.
  • Post-editing machine output.We translate from your English; we don’t tidy an engine’s draft and then sign for it.
  • Live interpreting.Trial visits and consultations are a different discipline, done by different people.
  • A deadline with no room for the second read.That read is the reason to hire this desk at all.
  • “Draft only, no certificate.”Every file that leaves Mohawk Drive carries one, or it doesn’t leave.

What sets the figure on your quote

What sets the figure

Page count

Measured in the source as you deliver it. A four-page leaflet and a twenty-page IFU sit at opposite ends of the sheet.

What sets the figure

Source format

A working layout costs least to carry. A flattened scan costs more, because we rebuild the page before we translate it.

What sets the figure

The reader

A patient at home needs a plainer register than a clinician. That changes the drafting time, so it changes the line.
