Legal contract & corporate document translation, priced per word
Contract language is liability-sensitive — a loosely rendered term can shift an obligation. This is priced per word, not per page, because that’s how a procurement or legal team actually budgets translation work, and it’s built for terminology consistency across a recurring set of documents.

Who it's for
- A
You’re corporate counsel or a paralegal translating an NDA, MSA, employment agreement, or cross-border commercial contract as part of a deal or an operational need.
- B
Your team negotiates with a foreign counterparty and needs both sides of the agreement to carry the same precise terms in each language.
- C
You have a recurring set of documents from the same client or matter and need consistent terminology across all of them, not a fresh interpretation each time.
- D
You need a procurement-legible price — per word, with a stated minimum — rather than a quote request.
What's included
Included
- A legally precise, terminology-consistent translation of the full document text.
- A per-word price with a 250-word minimum, quoted before you order.
- Consistent terminology across multiple documents from the same matter, when ordered as related lines.
- Free correction or re-translation if the translation is found to contain a translation-accuracy error, reported within 30 days of delivery.
Not included
- Legal review or advice on the contract’s terms — we translate the language precisely; your own counsel reviews the substance.
- Notarization or apostille — these are certified-document services; contracts don’t typically require them, but if yours does, order those separately.
- Redlining or drafting the agreement itself.
Documents we translate
- A
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
- B
Master service agreements (MSAs)
- C

How this works
- 01
Send the document and any prior terminology
If you have a glossary, prior translated agreements, or preferred terms for recurring parties, include them — we’ll apply them.
- 02
Assignment to a translator with contract-law fluency
Matched to the subject matter (employment, commercial, corporate) so the register is right, not just the vocabulary.
- 03
Terminology-consistent translation
Key defined terms are translated once and applied consistently through the document and across related documents in the same matter.
- 04
Independent QA review
A second reviewer checks the translation against the source and against any terminology already established for the matter.
- 05
Delivery
A translated document ready to negotiate, file, or countersign, delivered as an editable or PDF file per your preference.

Why us, for this document type
Priced like a procurement decision, not a retail product
Per word, with a stated minimum — the pricing model itself signals this is a different product line from our certified-document services, not the same thing with a different label.
Terminology held constant
A defined term translated one way in your NDA stays that way across every related document we handle for the same matter.
A specialist, not a generalist doing your brief
This page exists because a contract translator and a birth-certificate translator aren’t the same job — the process here is built for commercial-document register specifically.
Frequently asked questions
How is this priced?
$0.13 per word of source text, with a 250-word minimum per order. You’ll see the exact total before you commit — no quote request.
Can you keep terminology consistent across multiple contracts from the same deal?
Yes — tell us the documents belong to the same matter, and we apply the same terminology for defined terms and recurring language across all of them.
Do you provide a certified translation of a contract, or just a working translation?
This service is a precise working translation for negotiation, internal use, or filing. If you specifically need a certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy for a formal submission, let us know — we can add that certification to a contract order.
Can you handle a rush turnaround on a contract under deadline?
Yes — rush (next business day) adds 40% to the line price; same-day is limited by volume (up to 1,250 words) and requires ordering by 10:00 ET.
What file formats do you deliver?
PDF by default; tell us if you need an editable format (Word) to support redlining on your side, and we’ll match it.
Do you offer volume pricing for a recurring relationship?
For firms or companies ordering regularly, our Law-Firm & Business Accounts page covers volume rates and invoicing terms outside the standard per-order checkout.
