SPEED AND QUALITY SINCE 2007
Send us the text and your brief — within an hour during business hours we’ll get back with an estimate of volume, deadline and price.
Translation and adaptation of press releases into Russian and English for Estonian PR agencies and corporate communications. No literal calques, no stock phrases, no loss of voice.
For 19 years we’ve been translating press releases for Hamburg & Partnerid, Agenda PR, Corpore, Versa Communications, and direct clients — Citadele, Inbank, Bonava. A 14:00 deadline and an embargo are familiar territory.
Marketing translation and transcreation for Estonian brands reaching Russian- and English-speaking audiences. Adaptation, not calque. Meaning carried across, not words swapped one-for-one.
Nearly two decades with PR agencies and direct clients have taught us this: marketing copy only works when the translation keeps the spirit of the original, not the letter.
Translation of annual reports, corporate communications and banking materials for Estonian financial institutions and fintechs.
We work with Citadele, Inbank and others. We know the difference between MRR and ARR, between EBITDA and EBIT — and why it matters.
Texts for museums, exhibitions, cultural centres and festivals. Labels, brochures, catalogues, audio-guide scripts — everything that walks alongside the visitor and explains what they’re looking at.
We work with the Estonian Open Air Museum and translate for art exhibitions, museum curators and others. A visitor spends 8 seconds reading an exhibit label — which is why it has to be clear and tight.
A quality standard should be real, not just on paper.
We’ve been doing this for 19 years. When the workload calls for it, we bring in additional translators — always with full transparency to the client. Over the years we’ve worked out a handful of principles that we hold to without exception.
Our core language combinations are Estonian, Russian and English. But if you need translation from or into a different language, do get in touch: chances are we can help. We also work with Latvian, Polish, German and many other languages.
And if we don’t happen to have a translator for a particular language, we’ll happily point you in the right direction.
These are our rates per page (1,800 characters with spaces) of finished translation. They apply to Estonian, Russian and English.
Work involving other languages, or particularly specialised or complex material, may cost more. Get in touch to find out the exact per-page price for your text.
Machine-generated draft with human editing by a single translator, basic terminology check.
When to use it:
Recommended ONLY for internal documents, materials intended for general understanding, and drafts.
€12 + VAT
Adaptive rewriting with full cultural adaptation, several variants to choose from, full review cycle.
When to use it:
Slogans, headlines, key marketing copy, advertising texts.
€28–32 + VAT
Volume is measured in standard translator’s pages. One such page equals 1,800 characters with spaces. You can see your character count, for example, in Microsoft Word.
The price depends on the page count of the finished translation (not the source), so an exact price up front usually isn’t possible. A finished translation can run 15–20% longer or shorter than the original.
Rush work is anything that needs to be ready «as soon as possible», «in a couple of hours», and the like. It’s also rush work if a long text needs to be translated quickly and the translator has to handle more than 3–3.5 pages a day or work over the weekend.
We use modern AI tools in our workflow — for building glossaries, keeping terminology consistent, and running final checks on punctuation and spelling. But the final product — is always human, with full accountability and full control over confidentiality.
We take orders every business day from 9:30 to 17:00.
... AND MANY OTHERS
«The Kether team can be relied on: their translations are professional and of high quality, they meet the high expectations of clients in communications and media, and they always deliver quickly.»
«A fantastic collaboration! Attentive translators who read every text thoughtfully and turn it into something clear and logical. We particularly appreciate Kether’s speed and their ability to find solutions when deadlines are tight.»
«Anton and Jelena’s speed and professionalism are unmatched. This becomes especially clear with time-critical translations. I also greatly value their responsiveness, their ability to understand the client’s needs, and to always find the most suitable solutions.»
We’re Anton and Lena. We started our family business in 2007. Since then we’ve become a trusted partner for translation bureaus, advertising and PR agencies, publishers, law firms and many other well-known companies in Estonia and the neighbouring countries.
We translate ourselves, and we coordinate the work of a number of well-known Estonian freelance translators.
We value simple, informal relationships with clients and colleagues. We don’t go in for grand phrases or hollow superlatives. You won’t hear us say that «every one of our staff is passionate about translation», or that «we’d happily lose sleep searching for the perfect rendering of a difficult term», or any of the other tired marketing clichés. Of course, we love what we do — but work-life balance matters to us too.
We just do our work. Properly, and quickly. Our clients usually end up becoming our friends — that’s the part that matters most to us. We’d love to make friends with you, too!
