Telugu translation services

Telugu translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing the written register 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 Telugu linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that the register agreed at the brief holds from the first line to the last and that no bookish forms have slipped into a modern script.

Yes — Telugu translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one register throughout, so the narration and the subtitles never read as if they came from different decades.

Grānthika is the classical literary norm that written Telugu followed for centuries; vyāvahārika is the written standard based on the spoken language, championed by Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy in the early twentieth century. Textbooks and newspapers today use the modern standard, and so do we unless your brief says otherwise.

It should match the purpose, not the surface. Formal English turned into bookish Telugu tends to become harder to read rather than more respectful. We keep the modern standard and raise the register through vocabulary where the audience expects it — official or ceremonial material, for example — rather than through archaic grammar.

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 reads it and tells you whether it is written in the modern standard or leans on older, bookish forms, and whether it is consistent. Mixed files are common when material has passed through several suppliers, and they are worth fixing before you reuse them.

The written standard is shared by both states. Spoken Telugu varies by region, and where a voice-over or dialogue should sound local to one audience we brief that for the script and the voice actor, separately from the written register.

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.
