You Want Your Product Speaking Three Languages. Here’s How It Starts.

One call, one email or one file is all it takes. Tell us your product, your languages and your launch date, and a real person at the studio writes back with a flat number — usually the same business day.

A desk with a phone, a laptop open to a string file and a small glowing lantern

Tell Us What You’re Shipping

Short is fine. A product name, the languages you want and a rough sense of timing gets you a real answer. Here’s what makes the quote fastest:

  • Which languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, or all three
  • Roughly how many words across your UI and help center
  • Your string file format, like JSON, PO, XLIFF or .strings
  • The date you’d love to launch

Mon–Fri 8am–4:30pm, a person reads every message. Have a file? Email it to contact@lanternyardworks.com for a free 300-word test.

Faster Than Typing? Just Call.

Pick up the phone and walk us through your product. You’ll hang up knowing your price and your first step.

Wondering What Happens After You Hit Send?

How soon will I hear back?

Same business day for a quote. If you write after 4:30pm, we answer first thing the next weekday.

Do I need to know my word count?

No. Send a file or a description and we’ll count it. Each package covers up to 8,000 words, and anything beyond is $0.14 a word, quoted before we start.

Is the quote binding?

The number we send is the number you pay for the scope we agree on. Languages start at $2,480 each, or $6,900 for all three.

Can I send files over email?

Yes. Attach JSON, PO, XLIFF, ARB, .strings or a help-center export to contact@lanternyardworks.com. Larger repos? We’ll set up a shared folder.
