Automotive translation services
From customs filings that must be certified to the manuals and campaigns that win drivers over, automotive work spans both worlds. ABC Translations handles standard automotive work from $0.06 per word, with fast turnaround, revisions until you are satisfied, and no surprises.
Customs will not clear a vehicle on a translation it cannot trust
Moving vehicles and parts across borders means moving paperwork first. Contracts, regulatory filings, homologation records, and import and export documents all have to be rendered precisely and clear customs and regulators such as UN ECE, EU authorities, and the NHTSA. When the translation is off, the shipment waits, and the cost of waiting climbs by the day.
Standard work pulls its weight too: global websites, marketing content, training materials, and manuals that have to read as both technically correct and clear to the customer. The two types work together to keep operations running across borders.
ABC Translations delivers both. Customer-facing content and technical documentation fall under standard work, starting at $0.06 per word across 120+ languages. Certified translations are available at $24.10 per page for import and export, compliance, patents, and contracts. A native-speaking professional completes every project. Certified per-page work is delivered within 48 hours, standard per-word work is delivered on a timeline set by the size of the project, and every order includes unlimited revisions and an expedited path for urgent cases.
Manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in more than 120 languages have relied on ABC Translations for 25 years, and the more than 255,000 customers served in that time include companies whose contracts, homologation records, and customs filings had to clear regulators on both sides of a border.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.
Will customs and regulators like NHTSA and UN ECE accept your certified automotive translations?
Yes. Yes. Our certified renderings of regulatory filings, homologation records, and import and export documents are built to clear customs and regulators such as UN ECE, EU authorities, and the NHTSA.
If a regulator or customs office requests a change, unlimited revisions are included until the document is accepted.
Can you handle homologation records and compliance filings, not just manuals?
Yes. Certified translation covers import and export documents, homologation records, regulatory filings, patents, and contracts, while professional translation at rates as low as $0.06 per word covers technical manuals, training, marketing, and global websites.
Both come from translators experienced in automotive and regulated material.
Will part numbers and vehicle specifications stay exact in the translation?
Yes. Automotive work is handled by specialist translators who maintain glossaries, so part numbers, specifications, and homologation terms stay consistent across every document.
Accuracy on these details is what keeps a filing from being rejected and a shipment from sitting at the border.
Do you also translate driver's license conversions and insurance claims?
Yes. Alongside trade and compliance documents, we translate driver's license conversions and insurance claims for the automotive sector.
Each is handled with the same accuracy and certification as your import, export, and regulatory paperwork.
How fast is delivery and what does automotive translation cost at scale?
Certified per-page work for customs and regulatory filings is delivered in 48 hours. Standard per-word turnaround depends on the size and scope of the project, so we confirm your delivery date when you send the files, and an expedited option is available for urgent cases.
Professional translation starts at $0.06 per word, across 120+ languages, with volume pricing available for manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors with ongoing needs. Certified translation is $24.10 per page.
