Frequently Asked Questions
This translation FAQ covers the questions we hear most often—what we translate, how we guarantee quality, what projects cost, and how your files are protected. If your question isn’t here, contact us and we’ll answer it directly.
Services & Languages
What services does Locstars offer?
We provide professional translation—certified, legal, medical, technical, financial, and marketing—plus full localization for websites, software, games, and e-learning. All work is performed by native-speaking human linguists specialized in the relevant field.
Which languages do you support?
We translate to and from Arabic paired with English, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Hindi/Urdu, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. Additional languages are available on request, so ask us if your pair isn’t listed.
Can you handle different Arabic dialects?
Yes. We work in Modern Standard Arabic as well as regional dialects across the Gulf and North Africa. Tell us your target market and we’ll match the linguist—and the dialect—to your audience.
Do you provide certified translation?
Yes. Our certified translations are prepared for acceptance by courts, government bodies, universities, and immigration authorities. Let us know the receiving institution so we can meet its specific requirements.
Which industries do you specialize in?
Our linguists cover technology, gaming, legal, patents, healthcare, finance, marketing, e-learning, energy, e-commerce, travel, and government, among others. Each project is assigned to a translator with experience in that subject area.
Quality & Process
Do you use machine translation or AI?
No. Every project at Locstars is translated entirely by professional human linguists—we don’t post-edit machine output or pass your text through automated tools. Human-only work is a core commitment, not a premium option.
How do you ensure translation quality?
Through our TEP process: translation, editing, and proofreading, each performed by a separate specialist. Because no single person is the only check on your text, errors are caught internally rather than by your readers.
Who will actually translate my content?
A professional linguist who is a native speaker of the target language and experienced in your industry. Legal documents go to legal translators, game scripts to gaming specialists, and so on.
What if I need revisions after delivery?
Send us your feedback and we’ll refine the work until it meets your standard. Getting the final text right is part of the job, not an extra.
Pricing & Turnaround
How is pricing determined?
Price depends on word count, subject matter, language pair, and how quickly you need the work. We confirm the full cost up front, and the figure we quote is the figure you pay.
Is the quote really free?
Yes—completely free and with no obligation to proceed. You send your files and requirements, we send back scope, timeline, and price, and the decision is entirely yours.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on length, complexity, and language pair, so we confirm a firm delivery date with every quote. Once agreed, that date is a commitment we keep.
Can you handle large or ongoing projects?
Yes. We support multi-file projects, phased deliveries, and long-term content pipelines, keeping terminology and style consistent across every batch through the same specialist team.
Confidentiality & Getting Started
Are my documents kept confidential?
Always. Strict confidentiality applies to every project, whether it’s a public marketing page or a sensitive contract, and it continues after delivery.
How are my files handled and stored?
Your files are processed securely and accessed only by the linguists assigned to your project. They are never shared, reused, or fed into automated systems.
How do I get started?
Send your files and requirements through our quote form. You’ll receive a clear scope, timeline, and price—typically within one business day—and work begins only after you approve.
