Bosnian translation services

Bosnian translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing the audience and the standard 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 Bosnian linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that the vocabulary holds to the Bosnian standard throughout rather than drifting into forms from Croatian or Serbian.

Yes — Bosnian translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one standard throughout, so the subtitles, the narration and the documents speak to the same audience.

It depends on who will read it. Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are all in official use, and much of the regulation asks for one of them rather than all three. Bosnian is the mother tongue of the largest group, 52.9 % at the 2013 census; where your audience is specifically Croatian- or Serbian-speaking, that standard is the better fit, and we say so at the brief.

Not necessarily. A campaign aimed at one audience needs one version in that audience's standard. Material that has to reach the whole country is often issued in more than one — the national statistics agency published its census results in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian editions — and we plan that at the brief rather than after delivery.

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. A native Bosnian linguist works through the text and brings the vocabulary and spelling into line with the Bosnian standard — the words for week, thousand and coffee are only the start — rather than treating it as a light proofread.

Both are official scripts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bosnian can be written in either. Latin is our default for Bosnian, with Cyrillic available whenever your project or your audience calls for it.

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.
