About us
For the love of language
Transit TXT means business when it comes to translation. Right from the outset we have been committed to quality rather than quantity. This strategy has paid dividends. Today, we are a tight-knit and hard-working team of professional translators, with a wealth of experience handling texts with wide-ranging subject matter. Our translations are the result of excellent language skills, extensive research and attention to detail.
Our services
We offer customised translation and proofreading services in English, French and German. Our main focus is on you – your expectations, your needs and your time constraints. Our main areas of specialisation are economics and law, politics and society, art and culture, environment, tourism, public health and prevention, and academic research.
Our values
Transit TXT is not an agency. All work is carried out in-house. This means that in the event of queries or minor changes, our customers can directly contact the member of the team who produced the translation. It is important that our customers are able to trust and rely on our collective expertise at all times.

Rates
We bill our translation work according to the per-line method (we define a line as 60 characters, including spaces). However, our per-line rates may vary depending on the type of text, the difficulty of the subject matter, and the deadline. Please note that our per-line rate also covers basic post-translation editing.
Hourly rate
We apply a minimum hourly rate of CHF 120 (+ VAT) for orders where the per-line billing method is unsuitable or problematic (proofreading, extensive post-translation editing, Powerpoint presentations, Excel files etc.).
Cost estimates
Do not hesitate to contact us should you require a cost estimate for a specific translation project. In almost all cases, we will be happy to supply this estimate free of charge.
