Where is SFX Translated located?
Our company is located in Belgium, in the province of Liège, in the heart of the Hauts Sarts industrial area (171, Première Avenue, 4040 Herstal).

How is the price determined?

The price is determined based on the complexity of the vocabulary used, the language combination and the number of words in the source file.

The price is also personalised to suit your needs.

SFX Translated is the only agency to present its quote in the form of three distinct solutions:

  • The Premium Solution is the option our clients select most frequently. It includes translation and proofreading of the document by two translators who are native in the target language. This means that if the text needs to be translated into English, it is English-speaking translators who translate and proofread the file.
  • The Basic Solution gives you a translation by a translator who is native in the target language. This package does not include extra proofreading and may be ideal in case of an urgent order.
  • The OptimumSolution includes translation and two reviews of the document, performed by three translators who are native in the target language.

Quotes are free and sent in just a few hours!

Does a low-cost translation mean a poor-quality translation?

No. A translation may be more expensive because the vocabulary used is more complex or specific to an industry, which will require more working time. As a result, a lower cost does not reflect the quality of the translation.

How can I pay?
  • In cash
  • By bank transfer
  • By PayPal
