For the introduction of House of Words, we could have used a standard story and well-known catch phrases to describe the level of quality you can expect from us. We’re going to try to keep your attention by doing precisely the opposite. Companies don’t advertise their mediocrity, and they certainly don’t point out that they’re an expensive choice. Flashy advertising often seduces customers into choosing a service provider for all the wrong reasons, and sometimes leaves the customer wondering if they’ve even made the right choice. To make the right choice, it’s important to know what level of service you can expect from your service provider. You need to know about the quality of the translation, the speed of the service, and the cost of the work. Initially, you may only be interested in the cost. At House of Words, we keep the costs as transparent as possible, allowing you to make the right choice! Have a look at our reference page. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it’s nice to see that plenty of ‘normal, average companies’ are very pleased with the services we provide.

This has a psychological effect on you, resulting in you agreeing to spend more than you initially intended; there’s quite a lot to be expected, isn’t there? Nevertheless, you do not receive the project in a golden e-mail or on parchment. Moreover, many translators are registered at several different translation agencies, so it might just be that the difference in price only has to do with the profit the agency makes. About six months ago we’ve done a number of translation for Mercedes Benz and Renault. Large companies like these often have their own department that takes care of their translations, but this was a piece of overflow from overflow. Assisting in the translation was very satisfying; we’re proud of the work we did, but……)
Next to this you will always get a clearly specified quotation. Not just one or two lines of text and a ‘random’ figure at the bottom that will most probably change during the course of the work. With House of Words, you are provided with a detailed quote indicating what you will get and when, how and the total price you will pay for it; no surprises afterwards!
