Scheduling assumptions

Multiple target languages are handled simultaneously, so generally adding more languages does not require significantly more time. For example, applying the schedule above, a file with 5,000 words would take 5–7 business days to translate into one target language or ten target languages.

The turnaround times above assume one translator and one reviewer for projects with up to 30,000 words and two translators and one reviewer for projects with over 30,000 words. SimulTrans can add more translators and reviewers if necessary to accelerate a schedule.

Translation throughput is estimated at 2,000 words per day per language. Review is estimated at 6,000 words per day per language. Formatting is estimated at a rate of 36 pages per day per language. At least one day for analysis and set-up and one day for delivery are included in all schedule estimates above; these could likely be waived if necessary, depending on project specifications and capacity.
