About us

A decade of carrying meaning across languages

2016Founded in Cairo
202610 years of client work

Josour is a translation and localization company founded in Cairo, Egypt, in 2016 by a group of translation experts.

Our aim from day one has been to offer top-quality translation at a fair cost. Our translators, editors and reviewers work together to adapt each message to its audience, so the result says what the original says, even to a very different readership.

We work with multinationals and consulting firms, educational institutions, financial services organizations, law firms, and PR and media agencies.

Working process

Three passes on every document

1

Translation

We match each job to a translator with the right subject expertise, all native speakers or fluent users of the target language. We keep the team small to keep terminology and style consistent, and scale up with your agreement when timelines are tight.

2

Editing & proofreading

A native-speaker reviewer checks the translation against the source and removes any grammatical, spelling or linguistic errors.

3

Quality assurance

A final pass on the target text brings the language to the highest standard. For legal, medical and other technical texts, a subject-matter expert checks the terminology.

Quotation

Fair rates, clearly priced

We price per project, based on word count. Get in touch for our current rates and ask about the discount for first-time corporate clients.

Payment: bank transfer, cheque, cash deposit or PayPal.

  • Word count

    The basis of every quote, with preferential rates for regular and high-volume work.

  • Complexity of the text

    Legal, engineering and medical texts need specialist translators and more time, which is reflected in the rate.

  • Timeline

    High volumes on short deadlines may carry a surcharge, because our team works overtime and we pay them fairly for it.
