Odia translation services

Odia translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing Standard Odia or Sambalpuri for each piece included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step.

Yes. Native Odia linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that each piece holds the variety agreed for it and that Standard Odia and Sambalpuri forms have not been mixed within a script.

Yes — Odia translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary throughout, so a campaign with Standard Odia on screen and Sambalpuri in the voice-over still calls every product and place by the same name.

Its speakers usually regard it as one; outside the region it is often treated as a dialect of Odia, and the census groups it under Odia. For a translation the label matters less than the facts: it shares about three-quarters of its basic vocabulary with Standard Odia, which is difference enough to need a decision.

When the audience is in western Odisha and will hear the message rather than read it: radio and TV spots, dialogue and local campaigns. For documents and on-screen text we recommend Standard Odia, which Sambalpuri speakers themselves use for formal communication.

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

Two answers: where the audience is, and how each piece will reach them. From that we propose Standard Odia or Sambalpuri piece by piece and record it in the brief, so the translator, the reviewer and the voice actor all work to the same decision.

Standard Odia is our default across the state. Odisha also has northern, southern and southwestern varieties such as Baleswari, Ganjami and Desia; where a voice-over should sound local to one of those areas, we brief it for the script and the voice rather than changing the written standard.

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.

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.

Send it over. Our Price Match Promise covers like-for-like work, and because our quotes are itemised you can see exactly what is being compared — which is usually where the gap turns out to be, in a revision pass, a licence or a delivery format that the cheaper figure quietly left out. If it really is the same work for less, we match it.
