The Iowa Council for International Understanding has been providing translation services in the state of Iowa for over thirty years. With over 100 translators and interpreters fluent in more than 40 languages and dialects, we have been able to help companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and individuals overcome language barriers. The large majority of our translators and interpreters are native speakers with work and life experience in both their native country and in the U.S. This allows us to provide not only the language expertise but also interpreters and translators who understand the cultural aspects of communication, which is essential for successful interactions with people from different countries and cultures. All translators and interpreters are carefully interviewed and selected after a survey of language skills and review of their experience. Most of our translators and interpreters have participated in a variety of training programs and are prepared to provide high quality translations and interpretation. Whether you need an interpreter in court, the classroom, at the doctor’s office, or in the workplace; translation of materials to expand your business into foreign markets, official documents or other types of written communication, or transcription of cassette or video tapes; or have other language related needs, ICIU’s translators and interpreters are ready to help you overcome language barriers. ICIU works with a large pool of qualified translators to provide you with accurate translation or written documents from English to other languages and vice versa.

Rates/Cost Estimates/Time Required Costs vary based upon language, technicality of material, and urgency. Generally, charges are determined by a per word rate that ranges from $.15 to $.40 per word, again based upon language and technicality. To provide a cost estimate, we would review the material to be translated first. The time required to complete a translation will also vary based upon volume of material, language, and technicality. You will be provided with a completion date with the cost estimate. Rush fees may be applied to projects that require a quicker turnaround time than originally quoted. Submit Material for a Cost Estimate In order to provide you cost estimate, we request that you send a copy of the original document in one of the following ways: 1. The preferred way is to e-mail the document as an attachment to: translation@iciu.org. Microsoft Word has proven to be the best software for this. However, most other software programs are acceptable. 2. Fax your documents to: 515-282-0454. 3. Overnight, mail, or messenger to our office: ICIU, 1000 Walnut Street, Suite 1105, Des Moines, IA 50309. Once your documents are received, we will send you an e-mail or call to verify that we have received your request for a cost estimate and to gather any further needed information about your translation. Please note that if you send us the documents as an e-mail attachment, it speeds up the process. Once we complete the evaluation of your project, we will provide a cost estimate for your review.
