Reistlingue works only with mother-tongue translators, who work by using only their native language. They have all been selected with the utmost attention based on their experiences in the various sectors ( technical, legal, scientific, medical, etc.)
The unit of measurement adopted by Reistlingue is the word. However, the cost of a translation depends on the language and the type of translation required, the repetitions in the text, the urgent need, etc.
Some texts require a lot of layout and graphics work, for this reason, a 25% surcharge on the total price might be applied.
Our staff will carefully analyze the material to be translated and will send you a free estimate of the total costs.
Certainly. The minimum fee for a translation job is CHF 60 + VAT.
One of our translators will proceed with the reading and possible correction of the text. In the case of a good-quality translation, the revision cost will be lower than that of the translation. In some cases, however, you will be asked to proceed with a new translation.
On request, we can also add a graphics service to the translation.
If you foresee constant workflows over time, we will be happy to discuss prices, payment methods and work systems that meet their needs and timelines. Reistlingue is your business partner!
A certified translation is made through a procedure carried out by a translation agency registered in the Commercial Register, authenticated by a notary, and the Court and the Cantonal Chancellery (in the case of legalization or an apostille). It has the function of giving the simple translation legal value.
Once certified, it can be presented to foreign or national bodies and authorities because it will have legal and institutional value.
An apostille is necessary whenever the translation of a document needs to have a legal value in a country adhering to the Hague Convention. Institutions, bodies, and national and foreign authorities require, as a prerequisite, the translation of the document submitted to their attention to be done by a translation agency registered in the commercial register. This guarantees the veracity and correspondence of the translation concerning the document.
In the same cases described above, the only difference is that legalization is intended for countries not adhering to the Hague Convention.
For official documents destined for Ticino, the authentication issued by our translation office is usually enough.
Beyond our canton borders, a notarial authentication is also required, while an apostille or legalization is required for documents addressed abroad, depending on the destination country.
The State Chancellery in Bellinzona issues apostille and legalizations.
Our team will do all the necessary steps to obtain the required stamps. This process can take 1 to 3 business days.
We do not need the original copy for the translation and authentication procedure. After obtaining the certified translation, the customer will have to attach the original document to our translation.
Yes, of course. A good scan of the document to be translated and certified is enough. However, a poor quality scan, which does not allow the precise calculation of the amount of text present, will generate additional costs.
No, the certified translation does not have an expiration date.
Only the original document can have a precise deadline (eg 3 months from issue).
This deadline may bind the expiration of our translation.
Simultaneous interpreting features technologies such as speakers and headphones that allow the speaker’s speech to be interpreted simultaneously.
Consecutive interpreting is a mode of interpreting in which the speaker makes a speech or says a few sentences whilst the interpreter takes notes. The interpreter then reproduces what the speaker said for the audience.
Whispered interpreting, or chuchotage is a form of simultaneous interpreting where the interpreter whispers what the speaker is saying to the client. Like the consecutive one, it does not require systems or technical support being intended only for a small group of users (from one to a maximum of three).
