We want to remind you again that all options (freelance, agency, and LSP) are good ones. Whichever you finally decide to go with depends on your situation and the project you need translated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Translation Agencies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Translation agencies are made up of a team of translators. In general, members are&nbsp;specialized&nbsp;in different fields . They divide up the work to be able to take on as many projects&nbsp;as possible. This is a great option when you\u2019ve got a larger volume of work than a freelancer can assume. They can generally cover the whole spectrum of translations, although some agencies are devoted to one type in particular, such as&nbsp;audiovisual translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another huge benefit of working with translation agencies is that they offer a variety of services in addition to translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Translation + Proofreading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layout Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proofreading Only<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monolingual Proofreading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Localization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcreation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation agencies are a good way to go if you don\u2019t know any translators, if you don&#8217;t have time to look for any, or if you don\u2019t know how to go about choosing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work&nbsp;agencies do implies certain administration costs, but also guarantees full availability and a wider range of services. All of this means that translation agencies\u2019 rates are usually higher than those of freelance translators. However, prices can vary greatly from one agency to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although agencies can cover more language pairs and specializations than a freelance translator, they still are not quite on the same level as a language service provider (LSP), something we\u2019ll be talking about in&nbsp;Part III&nbsp;of this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all we have for today\u2019s article, but you can follow us on&nbsp;Twitter,&nbsp;Facebook,&nbsp;LinkedIn,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Instagram&nbsp;to stay up to date on new blog posts and all things translation.
