As a benefits communication specialist, I offer translation services into Spanish for insurance companies that need to send benefit guides and benefit packages to their clients with Spanish-speaking employees.
I specialize in translating summary plan descriptions (SPDs) for various employee benefits such as medical, vision, dental, life, AD&D, and accident insurance. My expertise in this field ensures that the translated documents accurately convey all the necessary information to Spanish-speaking employees.
Why do benefits guides and benefits packages need translating?
Benefits packages and guides that describe the benefits available to employees are important to inform them about the additional benefits that their employers provide in addition to regular compensation.
These benefits—which may include things like medical coverage, paid leave, profit sharing, opportunities for education and development, retirement benefits, and other perks—are important for employees to understand, and Spanish-speaking workers may not be able to access this information if it’s only available in English.
By providing translations of benefits guides into Spanish, I help to ensure that all employees have access to the same level of information about their employer’s benefits program. Employees are more likely to thrive when they understand their company’s policies, the full range of benefits available to them, and any other important information they need in order to make informed decisions about their work and lifestyle.
Translations can also help employers with their diversity and inclusion initiatives and ensure that all employees are on an equal footing when it comes to understanding the benefits they’re entitled to.
What’s the cost of translating a benefits guide or a benefit package?
Benefits guides are normally anywhere between 10 and 100 pages, although some are longer. The cost of the translation will depend on the size and complexity of the document, as well as any special requirements that I might need to consider.
The rule of thumb is to charge by the word—if your guide is 5,000 words, for example, you can expect to pay around $1000 for translation only. The price may also vary depending on any add-ons such as additional formatting or proofreading.
