Letton ↔ Anglais
Company documents, correspondence and content written for an international readership.
Français ↔ Anglais
The pair I am asked for most: contracts, websites, commercial material and documentation.

Prestations
Four ways of working on a text.
Translating is only part of the job. Much of the work is picking up a text that has already been translated — and saying what it is worth.
Document translation
A text that reads as though it had been written in its target language.
Translation of documents and written content between Latvian, French, English and Spanish. Contracts, correspondence, websites, commercial material, technical documentation.
- Full translation of the document you send
- Original formatting preserved
- A proofreading pass before delivery, every time
- Glossary of the terms chosen, on request
€0.12 per wordSEK 1.35 per word
Revision and proofreading
Your translation already exists. It needs a second pair of eyes.
The translation is compared against the source text, the language and style are corrected and the register is made consistent. What you receive is ready to publish.
- Spelling, grammar and syntax corrected
- Meaning checked against the source text
- Register and tone made consistent throughout
- Changes tracked or applied silently, your choice
€0.06 per wordSEK 0.68 per word
Terminology consistency
The same term, translated the same way, from beginning to end.
A check of terminological consistency and fidelity to the source, across one document or a set of them. Essential the moment a text has passed through more than one pair of hands.
- List of terms translated more than one way
- Fidelity check against the source text
- Reference glossary you can reuse afterwards
- Report of the discrepancies found
€0.05 per wordSEK 0.56 per word
Quality assessment
Knowing what a translation is worth before you publish it.
Assessment and correction of translated documents, including work produced by machine translation or by a third party. You receive a reasoned opinion, not only a corrected file.
- Quality assessment, with examples to support it
- Correction of errors of meaning and of language
- Passages that need retranslating, flagged
- A written recommendation: publish, correct or start again
€0.05 per wordSEK 0.56 per word
Per-word rates in euros and in Swedish kronor (fixed amounts, not conversions), indicative: the price depends on how technical the text is, the file format, and the deadline. Minimum invoice: €30 / SEK 340 per order. VAT not applicable, Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code. The firm price is the one in the written quotation, in the currency you chose.
Forfaits
Two packages at a fixed price.

Beyond the word counts shown, the work is charged per word at the usual rate. These packages are paid at the time of order, unlike work priced per word, which is invoiced after delivery.
What a reviser sees
Two real corrections.
A translation can be grammatically correct and still be wrong. This is the kind of discrepancy a revision catches, on sentences taken from contracts.
Terminology consistency
This agreementcontract takes effect on the date of signature and stays valid for a period ofremains in force for a term of twelve months.
What was found: The source used one term throughout. The translation alternated between 'agreement' and 'contract' from paragraph to paragraph.
Fidelity to the source text
Delivery takes place within 5 dayswithin 5 working days, except if there is a problemin circumstances beyond our control.
What was found: Two shifts in meaning: a deadline shortened by roughly two days, and a force majeure clause stripped of its legal weight.

Indicative estimate, excluding complex formatting and urgent work. Minimum invoice: €30 / SEK 340 per order. Krona amounts are fixed prices, not conversions. Only the written quotation binds both parties.
How the price is worked out
The rate is set per word of the source text, which means the amount is known before the work begins — unlike billing by the hour.
Three things can move it: how technical the text is, the file format when it needs reformatting, and the deadline when it is shorter than the one shown below.
| Service | Per word | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Document translation | €0.12SEK 1.35 | 24 hours up to 1,000 words |
| Revision and proofreading | €0.06SEK 0.68 | 24 hours up to 2,000 words |
| Terminology consistency | €0.05SEK 0.56 | 48 hours |
| Quality assessment | €0.05SEK 0.56 | 48 hours |
VAT not applicable, Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code. Prices are fixed in each currency — the krona figures are not conversions — and the currency you choose here is the one of your quotation and your invoice. Work priced per word is invoiced after delivery, payable within fourteen days, with no deposit. The fixed-price packages are paid at the time of order.
Who translates your text
Anastasija Canajeva
Freelance translator based in Paris. Latvian is my mother tongue and French is the language I live in; I also work to and from English and Spanish.
I translate, I revise, and I assess translations that already exist. You speak to the person doing the work: no project manager, no invisible subcontracting, and no text handed to a machine without your knowing.
Translating is not replacing words. It is writing the same text for someone else.

Frequently asked
Ce qu'on me demande avant de commencer.
What does a translation cost?
The rate is set per word of the source text, from €0.12 / SEK 1.35 per word for translation and €0.05 / SEK 0.56 for a quality assessment. The minimum invoice is €30 / SEK 340 per order.
Three things move that figure: how technical the text is, the file format when it needs reformatting, and how urgent it is. You receive a free written quotation before any work begins.
The fixed-price packages are the exception. Their scope is closed and the figure is published, so there is nothing to quote.
Euros or Swedish kronor?
Both, and you choose. Every price on this site is shown in euros and in Swedish kronor; the switcher at the top puts the one you prefer first.
The krona amounts are fixed prices, not conversions at the day's rate: what you see is what the quotation says, and the invoice and any payment are in the currency you chose. Nothing is converted afterwards.
Do you provide sworn or certified translations?
No. A sworn translation can only be produced by a translator listed as an expert with a French Court of Appeal, and I am not on that list. It would be dishonest to suggest otherwise.
If your document has to be presented to a préfecture, a court, a consulate or a university, ask which form they require before ordering anything. Many of them accept an ordinary translation; some do not, and only they can tell you.
For everything else — contracts, correspondence, websites, personal documents, commercial material — no sworn status is needed and I can help.
When do I pay?
After you have received the work. There is no deposit, no advance and no staged payment, whatever the amount and whoever you are.
The invoice is issued once the translation is in your hands and is payable within fourteen days. You can settle it by bank transfer, or through the payment page on this site, which works out the amount from the rate in your quotation and the number of words invoiced.
Nothing on this site can be bought in advance. The payment page settles an invoice; it does not order anything.
I am a new client — can I pay straight away to get started faster?
No, and paying would not speed anything up. Ask for a quotation first: it is free, it usually comes back the same day, and it fixes the price and the deadline before anything begins.
A payment made without a corresponding order is refunded in full, which costs us both time. The payment page carries a warning for exactly that reason.
When does the delivery time start?
From the moment your text is in my hands, not from the moment you order. A package bought on Friday evening with the file sent on Monday is delivered from Monday.
You can paste the text at checkout or reply to your confirmation email with the file attached. Either is fine, and the confirmation says so.
How quickly is it delivered?
A translation up to 1,000 words within 24 hours; a revision up to 2,000 words within 24 hours; terminology work and quality assessments within 48 hours. The website package takes five working days.
These are the times written into the terms, not optimistic estimates. If a deadline cannot be met I say so before you order rather than after.
What if I change my mind after ordering a package?
If you are buying as a private individual you have fourteen days to withdraw. Because the packages are delivered in 24 to 48 hours, you are asked at checkout to confirm that work may begin sooner — and that confirmation is what ends the right once the work has been delivered in full.
If nothing has been started, you are refunded in full, no questions asked. If work has begun, you owe a proportionate amount for what was done, and I show you the calculation before invoicing it.
Do you use machine translation?
No text of yours is put through an online translation tool. Free tools keep what you paste into them, and a contract or a personal document has no business being stored on someone else's server.
I do assess and correct machine output when you ask me to — that is a service in its own right, and it is priced as one.
What happens to my documents afterwards?
Source files and translations are kept for ninety days after delivery, so a lost file can be reissued. After that they are deleted.
If you would rather they were deleted the moment you have received the work, say so and they are.
Who owns the translation?
You do, once it has been paid for. A translation is a derivative work with its own copyright under French law, and those rights transfer to you on payment in full.
Until then you hold a right of use that I can revoke if the invoice goes unpaid. In practice this never comes up, but it is written down so neither of us has to guess.
Am I dealing with you or with an agency?
With me, from the first message to delivery. Nothing is passed to a colleague halfway through and nothing is subcontracted without telling you.
The trade-off is honest: work I cannot deliver in the time I quoted gets declined rather than accepted and stretched.
