Can you translate my website?

No problem! There are several options available to you:


  1. Translation of the original files (HTML, PHP, XML, etc.)
  2. Translation within your CMS
  3. Translation of your website content in Word format

To get more information on this topic, please visit our Website translation page.

How do you count the number of words in the content being translated?

  • For Word files, the word count can be viewed at Review > Word Count. 
  • For PowerPoint files, you can find the word count at File > Info > Show All Properties.

We routinely double-check the word count with our SDL Trados software, which enables us to calculate the percentage of repetitions in the document.

In case of any doubt, you can send us the files through our contact form.

How do you ensure the quality of your translations?

The pursuit of excellence is one of Beelingwa's six core values. So that we can provide professional quality translations, we have implemented some strict procedures. These are described in detail on our Quality guarantee page.

Here's how we go about it:

  1. Translator recruitment process: To get the most high-quality translations, we only work with the best translators in the industry - those who shone in our aptitude test during the recruitment process. The rest are rejected. We do not hire the cheapest translators; we hire the best.
  2. Continuous quality control: All translations are reviewed by third-party linguists. This step enables us to considerably enhance the quality of translations.
  3. Ongoing evaluation of translators: We constantly evaluate the work submitted by our translators. And we continue to only work with the very best in the business.
  4. Client advice & support: We listen carefully to our clients so we can effectively support their international expansion.

Can I put my trust in you to translate confidential documents?

Projects entrusted to Beelingwa are dealt with in the strictest confidence.


All of our employees and linguist partners sign a confidentiality agreement. If you wish, we would also be happy to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Do you work with native-tongue translators?

Yes, all of our translations are carried out by native-tongue translators. In other words, translators who only translate into their native language. 


Editing is also carried out by native-language linguists.

Do you maintain the layout of the original file in your translations?

We maintain the layout of editable files (e.g. in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, etc.).

As far as non-editable files are concerned (images, PDFs, etc.), there are two options available to you:

  • We can send you the translation in Word format, without layout.
  • We can bring in our linguistic/graphic design team to maintain the layout of the original file. This service is known as multilingual DTP.

What is the typical profile of your translators?

To guarantee a flawless quality of service, we only work with linguists with specific profiles:


  • Native-tongue translators
  • At least 10 years of experience in the translation field
  • Specialised in your subject matter
  • Impressed in our aptitude test
  • Continually evaluated by our reviewers

From and into which languages do you translate?

We translate from and into all European and Asian languages. We also translate into other, lesser-used languages.

You'll find a detailed list of our language combinations here

How can I send over large files for translation?

Smaller files can be sent using our contact form.


Larger files (10 MB or higher) can be sent to us via WeTransfer or OneDrive. If necessary, we can create a secure storage space to which you can upload your files.

Do you use machine translation software?

No. All of our translations are carried out by human translators with a relevant degree and with at least 10 years of experience in the field.

Do you also translate multimedia content (e.g. videos)?

As far as video content is concerned, we offer the:

  • Translation of subtitles using current best practices (adhering to subtitle length, etc.), plus insertion into your video.
  • Translation of video voiceovers, substituting the original voices in your video with those of our actors in the desired language.
