Ukrainian translation services

Ukrainian translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing the orthography and the policy on job titles 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 Ukrainian linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that current spellings are used throughout and that job titles follow the policy agreed at the brief in every file.

Yes — Ukrainian translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and one orthography throughout, so a job title reads the same in the subtitles, the narration and the documents.

It is your choice, and it is worth making deliberately. The 2019 orthography codifies forms such as директорка and редакторка, and the national standards commission has said that not using them does not breach the standard. We can advise on audience and tone; what matters is choosing once and holding it across the whole programme.

Among the changes most visible in everyday text: проєкт replaces проект, пів meaning half is written as a separate word before a noun, and feminine forms of professions are codified. The edition was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers in 2019, and a court ruling against it was overturned on appeal in 2021.

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, after a check. Older memories and glossaries can carry spellings the 2019 edition changed, and reusing them unchecked puts outdated forms back into new material. A native linguist reviews them against the current orthography before they feed your project.

Yes. Standard Ukrainian to the 2019 orthography is what we deliver for audiences in Ukraine and abroad alike; the written standard is the same, and the policy on job titles is agreed at the brief in either case.

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.
