Frequently Asked Questions

It is essential for you, as a customer, to have consistent quality in your translations. Each translator may have a different skillset and display knowledge for a variety of services, so if you get a different translator for the same type of translations, you may get differences between the character of the projects. It is important to work with the same person who has the right domain knowledge for the type of translation you require. Also, the process is more efficient without third-party involvement, in other words, directly connecting our clients with suitable translators.

That being said, if you require further assistance, you can always email us at projects@cuztranslation.com. Remember to provide the documents that need to be translated, along with information about the project such as source and target language, due date, project type and certification required.

We have a strict rule for our translators to inform clients of any problems that may interfere with the project ahead of time. So in case of a problem, the translator will reach out to you and inform you of the issue. In that case, the translator can send a request to delay the project. But in case of an unexpected problem, we reach out to the next available translator for you and help finish your project. So no matter what happens, you can trust us to deliver.

We charge you the cost of the project when you schedule it and choose a translator to make sure that there are no problems with the payment in the future. With us, you can schedule a project from months ahead. If you encounter any issues with our services, we will refund the money to your card, and it will be processed in 5 to 7 days, depending on your financial institution.

Depending on the urgency of your project, a translator will have a limited time window (15 minutes) to respond to the request. If they do not get back to you in time, we will notify you as soon as possible so that you can pick a new translator for your project.

If you see inconsistencies between the document and the app, contact our team at projects@cuztranslation.com.
