Bengali translation services

Bengali translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing the target market included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step.

Yes. Native Bengali linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that vocabulary and spelling stay with the agreed market throughout rather than mixing Bangladeshi and Indian usage.

Yes — Bengali translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one market throughout, so the subtitles and the recorded narration never speak to the viewer from two different places.

It is one language, written in the same script, with two markets. Everyday vocabulary differs — water is পানি (pani) in Bangladesh and জল (jol) in West Bengal — and each has its own reference for spelling: the Bangla Academy in Bangladesh and the Paschimbanga Bangla Akademi in West Bengal.

The one your audience lives in or comes from. Material for Bangladesh, or for communities with roots there, follows Bangladeshi usage; material for West Bengal follows Indian usage. If you are not sure, tell us who the audience is and we will say which fits.

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

It can be understood in both, and it will read as written for one of them. Words like পানি and জল give it away at once. For material where the audience matters — health, public information, marketing — we recommend two versions from the same source.

Yes. A native linguist reads it and tells you which market its vocabulary and spelling point to, and whether it holds that choice all the way through — mixed files are common when material has passed through several suppliers.

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.
