As is often the case in business, things need to get done by yesterday. Short deadlines are nothing unusual, but nevertheless stressful for all concerned. My policy is quite clear on this: I only accept translation projects if I can be sure to meet your deadline and still deliver a quality translation. Barring any unforeseeable events, you can count on me meeting your deadline once I have accepted your project.

However, clients should be aware that a professional translator on average can translate between 2000 and 3000 words a day, depending on the nature of the text.
