ask precise questions in any language
International market research often requires the translation of content or questionnaires, especially quantitative questionnaires, into many different languages.
The challenge in this case is to balance tight deadlines with precise terminology.
The translator, like the project manager, must master the art of asking questions, while ensuring a perfect cultural fit. They must ensure that there is no bias or ambiguity in the understanding of the question or how to answer it.
Your market surveys translated reliably and consistently, with tight deadlines
At EuropaTrad, our translators always work into their native language and in a field in which they are proficient. As such, they ensure that questionnaires, answers, surveys or transcripts are all translated accurately and in a culturally sensitive manner.
We are also aware of the importance of meeting tight deadlines once the initial questionnaire is ready in the source language. Our ISO 9001 process and our network of over 1,000 specially selected translators enable us to respond quickly, and guarantee multiple translations at the same time.
Lastly, as with any multilingual project, you have a single point of contact: this EuropaTrad project manager will centralise communication with you, ensuring that interpretations are consistent and that your deadlines are met. All you have to do is concentrate on analysing the results.

What file formats can we handle?
EuropaTrad can handle most file formats containing formatted or unformatted text.
Common file formats (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), but also publishing formats (InDesign, Publisher, AutoCAD, etc.) and data exchange formats (JSON, xlf, xml, etc.).
How much does a translation cost?
Our translation pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents.
We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software that uses translation memories and helps to detect any repetitions in files.
This allows us to offer you better turnaround times and make sure the work is consistent.
For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order.
Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, adapted to the content and use context.
How is the confidentiality of the translations ensured?
All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in article 226-13 of the French Penal Code, as well as by the commitments and terms and conditions stipulated in EuropaTrad’s T&C.
To back up these commitments, we sign specific confidentiality agreements with our clients on request.
How can translation costs be reduced?
Several steps help to reduce translation costs:
– Preparing your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrusting the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to easily reuse previous translations.
– Selecting translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the use of documents and content.
What languages are translated?
We translate more than 60 languages.
We cover all European languages as well as the main languages of international communication.
Most of the project we handle for our clients are multilingual translations: from and into several languages at once, and including not only multilingual documents, but also multilingual websites or videos.
How much time does a translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text, and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g., for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days.
Whatever the format of the content and the level of quality expected, our quotes systematically mention the time needed for the translation.
Translation turnaround times are given in the presentation of our solutions.
Then there’s the time it takes for any page layout adjustments or validation of the insertion of translations into a website or software interface.

By entrusting your translations to EuropaTrad, you ensure the best possible reuse of text and content already translated via use of professionally-kept translation memories.
This technique and the multiple connectors we offer mean translations can be reused easily in all systems and content managers where they are needed.
This guarantees the consistency and rigorous management of content updates.
