Azerbaijani translation services

Azerbaijani translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with confirming the market and the script included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step. Send your files and we will come back with a free, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

Yes. Native Azerbaijani linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text in the script it is delivered in, checking vocabulary as well as spelling for the market it serves.

Yes — Azerbaijani translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary. The script question applies to the written files; for voice over, the brief is about which audience is listening.

Both, depending on the country. The Republic of Azerbaijan uses the Latin alphabet, restored in 1991 and in full use since a 2001 presidential decree. Azerbaijanis in Iran write the language in the Perso-Arabic script. We ask which audience you are addressing before we start.

ISO 639-3 treats them as two languages within the Azerbaijani macrolanguage. They are mutually intelligible, but North Azerbaijani, spoken in the Republic of Azerbaijan, borrowed heavily from Russian, while South Azerbaijani, spoken in Iran, borrowed from Persian and Arabic. The script differs as well.

Yes — audiovisual is our specialisation. We deliver spotted SRT/VTT and timed two-column voice-over scripts, plus translated text when you need it.

Yes, as a source. Azerbaijani was written in Cyrillic between 1938 and 1991, so older material often is. A native linguist renders it in the current Latin alphabet and updates the language where needed, rather than transliterating it letter by letter.

Yes. We prepare South Azerbaijani in the Perso-Arabic script, laid out for right-to-left display. When a project serves both Azerbaijan and Iran, we deliver two versions, each reviewed in its own script.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
