Deadlines, platforms, or anything we should know

Content is processed only through business AI services whose terms bar training on it.

Please don’t include personal data.

Need an NDA first? Send it to info@locstars.com, and we’ll sign it before you share files. We sign your data processing agreement (DPA), as we sign your NDA.

Files: up to 10 files, 100 MB in total. Accepted formats: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, TXT, CSV, XML, JSON, XLIFF, HTML, PO, IDML, and ZIP. Other formats: send a link and we’ll confirm.

How we build a quote

We build each quote from your content. These factors shape it:

  • Volume and repetition. We analyze your content against your translation memory (TM) into new words, fuzzy matches, exact matches, and repetitions, and the quote shows that breakdown. Repeated and previously translated text needs less work than new text.
  • Content type and risk. A support macro and a product safety notice need different depth.
  • Service level. AI + Check, AI + Edit, or AI + Edit + Review, chosen for each content type. Regulated and high-risk content runs at AI + Edit + Review or without AI, and the quote names the subject specialism it needs.
  • Your glossary and TM. If you have no glossary or style guide yet, we create them with you before production starts, and the quote lists that work.
  • Languages. Which languages you need, and in which directions.
  • Timing. Delivery windows and release cadence. Same-day delivery is possible for suitable volumes. We confirm timing in the quote.
  • File engineering. Your formats (such as DOCX, XLSX, CSV, XML, JSON, XLIFF, HTML, or PO), tags, placeholders, and length limits. We work from your exports or inside your translation management system (TMS), including Phrase, XTM, Smartling, Crowdin, and Lokalise.

Each quote states the service level for each content type, the basis for the volume, what you receive with each delivery, and an acceptance level, if you want one.

What happens next

We’ll reply by email to confirm next steps. We may ask for sample files, your glossary, or access to your TMS.

If you haven’t worked with us yet, there are two ways in. Your quote confirms whether the work is a one-off project or part of an ongoing program. The usual path:

  1. Free check, if you already use AI or machine translation (MT). Findings on up to 300 source words of AI or MT output you already have. One free check per company.
  2. Sample on your file. If the fit is right, we work on a defined part of your own content at the service level we propose, with that level’s deliverables.
  3. Pilot. Real work in your files or your TMS, under real working conditions, with the deliverables of your service level.
  4. Monthly contract, for an ongoing program. The service level for each content type, a volume band, delivery windows for each content type, and the same team on your account. A monthly summary reports on quality and on deliveries against those windows.

A sample tests a defined part of your content. A pilot tests delivery under real working conditions. Before either starts, we agree the scope, deliverables, timing, and any charge.
