Multiple translators in parallel for large rush volumes
Reviewer quality control remains part of every project
Ecrivus is reachable for rush assignments outside office hours — including weekends and
public holidays, where feasible. We operate a network of more than 10,000 translators
across more than 225 languages, which means we can offer direct availability even for rare
language pairs. For very large urgent assignments we deploy multiple translators in parallel
to shorten the turnaround time. Our quality control is part of the workflow — also under
rush conditions a second reviewer checks the translation before delivery. At Ecrivus,
rush never means: without a quality safeguard.

What does "response within one hour" mean at Ecrivus?
Our one-hour response applies to quote responses on business days. Within one hour we assess feasibility and tell you whether your deadline is achievable. The delivery deadline itself is confirmed in the quote, based on document type, volume, language pair and start time — not a fixed standard for all projects.
What determines my delivery time?
Turnaround time depends on five factors: document type, volume (word count), language pair, certification required (sworn vs standard) and start time. We confirm the achievable deadline in the quote. Short documents with common language pairs can move faster than complex multilingual certified packages.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
We handle rush requests outside regular office hours — including evenings and weekends where feasible. Availability depends on the language pair and document type. Send your document for rush assessment and we will confirm what is achievable for your specific request.
Which document types are suited for rush, and which are not?
Suited for rush: court summonses, visa documents, birth and marriage certificates, press releases and short contracts — typically under 2,000 words. Complicated for rush: large technical manuals (10,000+ words), multilingual certified packages with 20+ documents, or rare language pairs with limited translator availability. In those cases we advise on a realistic rush schedule.
What is the surcharge for rush work?
Rush surcharges reflect the extra coordination, priority assignment and outside-hours availability involved. The surcharge percentage depends on urgency tier and project scope — we communicate it transparently in the quote before you commit. No surprises under deadline.
Can you combine rush with certified translation?
Yes. Our network includes sworn translators available for urgent certified work. The certified translation with stamp and signature can be delivered digitally and, on request, as a physical copy by courier. Availability depends on language pair and timing — confirm via our rush assessment request.
How can I know in advance whether my deadline is achievable?
Send your document for rush assessment: we respond within one hour on business days with a feasibility assessment and a quote. We confirm the achievable deadline based on document type, volume, language pair, certification needs and start time. We never commit to a deadline we cannot meet.
