Macedonian translation services

Macedonian translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing the narrative stance 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 Macedonian linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that the statements the narration asserts and the ones it reports are marked consistently from the first line to the last.

Yes — Macedonian translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one narrative stance throughout, so the subtitles never report what the narration asserts.

Because it carries more than time. The aorist and imperfect say the speaker vouches for the event; the l-form leaves that out and is used for what is reported, doubted or said with irony. English only says this with words such as apparently, and usually not at all, so every past-tense sentence in your source needs a decision.

Nothing a spellchecker would flag — both forms are correct Macedonian. What changes is the message: a company's own history in the l-form sounds like hearsay, and a third party's claim in the aorist sounds endorsed by your narrator. That is why we settle it before translation rather than in review.

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

We mark in the brief which statements belong to the narration and which are quoted or reported, and the translator follows that line by line. Direct quotations stay in the speaker's own voice; reported claims take the forms Macedonian uses for information the narrator is passing on rather than vouching for.

Yes. Standard Macedonian is the language of North Macedonia's commercial, corporate and broadcast life, and it is what we translate into. It is written in the Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet, which has letters of its own such as ѓ, ќ and ѕ, and that is what we deliver.

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.
