The guidelines and advice below will help you describe your translation project and receive a quote more quickly:

• share a portion or the complete file (if you wish/can, use editable formats to facilitate analysis, and use storage services such as Google Drive or SwissTransfer if your multimedia files are too large to be sent by email);
• specify the end media for your project if you do not want/cannot provide it (film, animated movie, book, website, app, etc.);
• delivery deadline (if known)​;
• your project’s effective or expected final size (in word count)​;
• your project’s main theme (“what’s it about?“)​;
• target audience (“who is it for?”)​;
• provide any documentation you believe will be useful for your project’s translation (scripts, terminology databases, visual outlines, lists of terms, glossaries, or even translation protocols pertaining to technical preferences—such as the number of characters per line in subtitles—or stylistic preferences—such as language register, inclusive writing, capitalization, specific abbreviations, etc.).
