Confirm current pricing, language pairs and whether they handle your document type.
Translation and interpretation are distinct services
Start by separating written translation from spoken interpretation. Then specify the language pair, subject, document or event format and deadline. If a document is for an authority, ask that receiving body what certification or notarisation it requires; do not assume a provider’s general translation service is automatically accepted.
How the two providers differ
Elite Asia has a physical Singapore headquarters at Bugis Junction with regional offices in Malaysia and Hong Kong. WhizWordz publishes a broader service menu that includes subtitling, website localisation and copywriting alongside translation, interpretation and transcription. Compare based on the specific service you need and whether a physical office or regional presence matters.
Questions to ask before engaging a provider
Does the provider handle your specific language pair?
What certification does your receiving authority require, and can this quotation meet that exact requirement?
What is the pricing model (per word, per page, per hour)?
What is the turnaround time for your document type?
Do they offer interpretation (simultaneous or consecutive) as well as written translation?
Do they handle additional services you need (subtitling, localisation, copywriting)?
