What is Linklab Compass?

More than a price list. A compass to find your way around our services.

No single language solution suits every project. The right approach depends on your objectives, audience, intended use, deadlines and budget.

That is why we created Linklab Compass: an interactive guide to our services and rates, designed to help you identify the right approach for your project.

Translation, interpreting, multilingual communication and intercultural training: Compass helps you explore the options and make an informed first choice.

And when it comes to making the final choice, we are here to help.

Where shall we start?

Four areas of work

Different skills. One point of contact.

From the precision of a technical manual to the creativity of an international campaign, explore our four service areas.

Translation

Two translation workflows, selected according to the content, language pair, intended use and quality requirements.

Sectors

Which sectors most often need this service?

Every industry has its own language, terminology, conventions and regulatory framework. We select linguists for both their language expertise and their subject knowledge, ensuring translations are accurate, consistent and fit for purpose.

Languages and rates

TEP service: which languages and how much does it cost?

Linklab has a network of carefully selected professional native-speaker translators. Choose the language to find out the cost per standard page or per word for the TEP.

I know the word count and the rate… why is it still worth requesting a quote?

These are standard rates. Thanks to CAT tools we recognise repetitions: in the quote, repeated parts are discounted by up to 70% from the standard rate.

Beyond translation: when a text needs legal value

Sworn translations

Sworn translations and related services require the TEP option. The overall cost depends on the language combination, the length of the text and the authority’s requirements.

Do you have a text to translate?Tell us what it is about and we will choose the most suitable method together.

Translation review

Revision is more than correcting mistakes. It means checking the translation against the source for accuracy, terminology and suitability for its context and intended use.

Translation reviewof translations produced by professionalsThe client provides a text that has already been translated. We check its accuracy, completeness, terminology, consistency and stylistic suitability, according to the agreed level of intervention.

Assessment and reviewof machine translations supplied by the clientBefore revising, we assess the translation’s quality and the extent of the changes required. If errors are too numerous or substantial, a fresh translation may be more reliable and cost-effective.

Level 1 · Grammar. Agreement, verb tenses, spelling, punctuation and accents.

Level 2 · Grammar and syntax. Also covers sentence structure and flow: word order, overly literal constructions and sentences that are too long or ambiguous.

Level 3 · Grammar, syntax and terminology. In addition, correct and consistent specialist terms throughout the text, respecting the client’s glossaries and instructions, if available.

Level 4 · Grammar, syntax, terminology and style. In addition, register, tone and rendering suited to the audience and the intended use.

How does it differ from the MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) service?

In revision, we work on a text that has already been translated and is supplied by the client.

With MTPE, the client supplies the source text. Linklab manages the machine translation process, followed by post-editing by a professional linguist. Discover MTPE →

Good to know · Machine translation and human oversight

A translation that sounds good is not necessarily correct.

AI can produce fluent, seemingly flawless translations while changing the meaning, omitting information or choosing the wrong terminology. Such errors may only become apparent when the translation is carefully checked against the source.

When it comes to contracts, technical documentation, corporate content or communications aimed at international markets, these errors can have real consequences.

That is why review by a professional linguist is not a simple stylistic check: it is a check of the accuracy, completeness and suitability of the translation for the context in which it will be used.

Before proceeding with the review, we assess the quality of the translation received. In some cases, starting again from the source text is the most reliable and efficient solution.

Do you already have a translation that needs checking?Tell us how it was produced and what it will be used for: we will recommend the right level of intervention.

European Union: Directive (EU) 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act): accessibility requirements for products and services, including information intended for the public. Directive (EU) 2016/2102: accessibility of the websites and apps of public bodies.
Italy: Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022, transposing Directive 2019/882 (measures applicable from 28 June 2025). Legislative Decree no. 106 of 10 August 2018, transposing Directive 2016/2102. Law no. 4 of 9 January 2004 (Stanca Law) on access to information technology tools.
Guidelines: «Informazioni per tutti» (Information for All), the European guidelines for easy-to-read and easy-to-understand information (Inclusion Europe with Anffas Onlus): the reference for writing rules, the European «easy-to-read» logo and the rules for Italian.

These rules concern the accessibility of information and do not prescribe a specific writing technique: for Easy Language, the European guidelines are followed.

Repetitions and CAT tools

What repeats in the text costs less

The full rate does not apply to every word. The quote takes into account repetitions within the text, which are discounted by up to 70% from the standard rate.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between translation and transcreation?

Professional TEP translation prioritises accuracy and fidelity to the source. Transcreation creatively reshapes slogans and marketing copy to preserve their intent and impact in the target culture.

I translated a text with AI: which services can I request?

If you already have an AI-generated translation, we can assess its quality and recommend the most suitable approach. Reviewing a client-supplied translation is different from Linklab-managed MTPE; in some cases, a fresh TEP translation is the more reliable option.

What is a standard page (cartella) and how is the price calculated?

One standard page (cartella) corresponds to 1,500 characters including spaces, or about 220 words. The price is calculated per page or per word, depending on the language combination and the service requested.

Download translation and review price list

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes, there is a minimum charge equivalent to one standard page or 220 words.

My text is very repetitive: can it affect the price?

Thanks to the CAT tools, we identify repetitions within a single document or across different documents. For particularly large texts, we apply discounts of up to 70% on repeated segments.

What are the delivery times?

Standard timings are 5 standard pages (1,100 words) per working day for TEP, 8 pages (1,760 words) for MTPE and 3 pages (660 words) for transcreation.

Can I request an urgent translation?

Yes. Where a deadline is shorter than our standard turnaround, a rush surcharge of 30% or more may apply. This will always be specified in our proposal.

How is the confidentiality of documents protected?

Linklab works with qualified native-speaker translators of proven experience, bound by confidentiality agreements (NDAs) protecting clients’ documents and information.

Are languages not in the table also available?

Yes, we also handle language combinations not shown in the table. Tell us the languages you need and send us the text: we will prepare a tailored quote.

Can I request a sworn translation even if I am not in Trieste?

Yes, we handle requests for sworn translation from all over Italy. You can send the documents to our offices and receive the certified package by courier, without having to come to our premises.

How can I request a quote?

Our proposal is free and comes with no obligation. Complete the form at the foot of the page, specifying the languages, service and deadline, and attach your text. Alternatively, call +39 040 630212 or email info@link-lab.it.
