Fast Professional Translation Services (Rush & Same-Day Available)

When You Need Fast Translation

Fast turnaround is often required for deadlines that cannot move—legal filings, medical documentation, business deadlines, product launches, and urgent communications. GTS supports rush translation projects with professional translators and a managed workflow designed for speed without compromising quality.

• Rush translation: expedited delivery for urgent deadlines
• Same-day translation: available for many short documents and select language pairs
• Multi-language rollout: fast translation across multiple target languages for global releases

What “Instant” Means at GTS

“Instant” refers to our instant online quote and rapid project kickoff. The translation itself is completed by professional human translators (not machine translation like Google Translate). For most rush projects, we can start quickly once we receive your files and confirm requirements.

Fast Translation, Without Compromising Quality

Fast translation should still be accurate, consistent, and appropriate for the audience. GTS uses a professional workflow supported by experienced translators and rigorous quality controls. We specialize in high-stakes content where accuracy matters.

Documents Commonly Requested for Rush Translation

• Legal documents (contracts, affidavits, court filings, litigation support)
• Medical and healthcare documents (reports, records, patient-facing materials)
• Business documents (HR materials, presentations, policies, correspondence)
• Marketing materials (brochures, product sheets, press releases)
• Technical documents (manuals, specifications, product documentation)
• Certified translations for official use (where applicable)

Supported File Types

Upload a PDF for quoting, and we can work from your preferred source files for production-quality output.

• Common: PDF, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX, XLS/XLSX
• DTP/Design: Adobe InDesign (INDD/IDML), Illustrator (AI), and other publishing formats (project-dependent)

InDesign and Multilingual DTP Support

If your document is authored in Adobe InDesign, upload your INDD or IDML files to our secure FTP site using this upload link and mention it in the Instructions box before you complete the order. For best results, upload a packaged InDesign project including fonts and linked graphics. This allows our multilingual desktop publishing (DTP) team to deliver a perfectly formatted, publication-ready PDF file.

How Rush Translation Works

1. Instant quote: Select languages and upload your file to receive a price quote.
2. Confirm requirements: Tell us your deadline, formatting needs, and intended use (internal, legal, medical, marketing, etc.).
3. Assignment: We assign a qualified translator (and reviewer when required) with relevant subject-matter expertise.
4. Delivery: We deliver your translation in the requested format—often with expedited turnaround.

Turnaround Time (What Affects Speed)

Turnaround depends on document length, complexity, file format, number of target languages, and the language pair. For many short documents, same-day translation may be available. For larger projects, we offer rush delivery options and clear timelines before work begins.

• Fastest: short documents, common language pairs, editable source files
• May require additional time: complex layout/DTP, many target languages, technical or regulated content

Confidentiality and Secure Handling

We understand that many urgent documents are sensitive. GTS uses secure systems and controlled access to protect client files and communications throughout the translation process.

Fast Translation Services in 100+ Languages

GTS provides rush translation services across major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages, including right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. If you have a multi-language deadline, we can coordinate a streamlined delivery plan.

FAQ – Fast Translation Services

Do you provide same-day translation?

Same-day translation may be available for many short documents and select language pairs. Upload your file for an instant quote and include your deadline in the Instructions box.

Do you use machine translation for rush projects?

No. GTS provides professional human translation services. We do not use machine translation (such as Google Translate) as a substitute for professional translation.

Can you deliver a translated, publication-ready PDF?

Yes. For brochures, catalogs, and other designed materials, our multilingual DTP team can deliver publication-ready PDFs. If available, send native source files (e.g., INDD/IDML) for best results.

What should I upload to get started?

Upload a PDF for quoting. If you have editable source files (Word, InDesign, etc.), we can use them to preserve formatting and speed up production.
