Marathi translation services

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

Yes. Native Marathi linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, comparing every converted figure with the English source and checking that the agreed digits are used consistently from the first line to the last.

Yes — Marathi translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one figures style throughout, so the narration says the same number the subtitles show.

Both are legitimate. The Devanagari digits ० to ९ are part of the Maharashtra government's standard Marathi alphabet, and the international numerals are what the Constitution sets for the Union's official purposes. For Marathi-only material we use Devanagari digits by default; where your Marathi sits next to English versions, interfaces or data tables that use 0–9, matching them is often better. We agree it at the brief.

Yes, by default, because that is how Marathi expresses large numbers: 1.5 million becomes १५ लाख and 250 million becomes २५ कोटी. Where a figure has to stay in millions — a quoted financial statement, for example — we keep it and record the exception in the style sheet.

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 linguist compares the figures with the English source, flags conversions that are wrong and marks the places where the digit set changes mid-document, which is common when material has passed through several hands.

Maharashtra is the core market: Marathi is its official language, and it was the mother tongue of roughly 83 million people in India at the 2011 census. It may also be used for official purposes in Goa. We use standard written Marathi for every market unless your brief says otherwise.

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.
