Express translation workflow managed by specialist translators and project coordinators

How the express translation works?

Once we receive your request and target delivery date, our project management team reviews the volume, subject matter, file format and language combination. We then assign the most suitable linguists to the job.

If the schedule is especially tight, the content can be distributed across several specialist translators and divided into logical sections. Terminology and style are coordinated throughout the process so the final delivery remains consistent.

If revision is included, it is planned from the outset. At the end, the translated content is consolidated, checked for clarity and completeness, and delivered in the agreed format.

How the delivery time for express translation is determined?

Turnaround depends mainly on three factors: the level of subject-matter specialisation, the complexity of the source text and the expectations of the target audience. Different content types require different levels of control and refinement.

Internal material, general-language content and well-prepared files often allow faster workflows. Highly technical documents, end-user material and content with legal or reputational impact usually require more robust quality control.

01

When is revision necessary?

Revision is recommended when there is little or no room for error, such as technical instructions, end-user documentation, sensitive marketing copy or content with legal or regulatory implications.

It adds time to the project, but it also reduces risk and improves reliability. If revision is not required, that choice should still reflect the purpose of the content and the context in which it will be used.

02

Which documents are suitable for express translation?

Editable formats are best for express translation: Word files, PowerPoint decks, Excel sheets, HTML, software files and other digital content that can be worked on directly.

Scanned PDFs, screenshots, image-based files or documents with hidden text often slow the process down because they require extra preparation, reformatting or manual transcription. Whenever possible, send the original editable version.

03

Fast translations for different urgency levels

We offer express translation services in the fields of technology, law, and marketing.  This includes the translation of technical texts such as operating and user manuals, handbooks, and maintenance books; urgent software localization of apps and websites; as well as marketing translations and legal and certified translations.

We categorize these fast and professional translations into three urgency levels: express, urgent, and fast translations.

Express translation:

Suitable for deliveries within a matter of hours. It may require several translators, close project control and frequent communication during production.

Urgent translation:

Appropriate for next-business-day delivery or other very short deadlines, usually with immediate prioritisation and fast resource allocation.

Fast translation:

Ideal for projects that are time-sensitive but have a slightly more flexible timeline. It increases daily throughput without the same level of pressure as a same-day job.

Express translation is a fast-track translation service designed to deliver high-quality results within very short deadlines, often within hours or by the next business day. 

Depending on the project size and complexity, express translations can be delivered within a few hours or within 24 hours. GFT confirms feasibility and deadlines within one hour of your request. 

GFT assembles a team of experienced translators who work simultaneously on different sections of the text, ensuring speed while maintaining consistency through close coordination. 

No. Despite tight deadlines, GFT ensures high quality through experienced specialists, coordinated workflows and, if required, additional proofreading according to ISO standards. 

Proofreading is strongly recommended for critical content such as technical, legal or marketing texts where accuracy is essential. It may increase delivery time by approximately 30%. 

Digital files such as Word documents, presentations or editable formats are ideal. Scanned or non-editable files may slow down the process due to additional formatting or manual input requirements.
