Know which document translation leads are worth a discovery call
Ask every business client for document type, target languages, and certification or notarization requirements before you scope the job, and collect the source files you need to quote accurately.
The exact intake your document translation leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Document Translation — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified document translation lead should tell you
Translation of a business document from a source language into one or more target languages, scoped by document type, page count, and whether certified or notarized delivery is required.

The questions your team needs answered
Every document translation intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of document needs translation? | Document type shapes the terminology, formatting, and review process needed, which affects how you staff and quote the job. |
| Which languages are involved in this translation? | Captures the detail in the client’s own words so you’re briefed before the first call. |
| Do you need the translation to be certified or notarized? | Certified or notarized translation typically involves added liability, formatting, and delivery steps, so it carries one of the highest weights in the scoring model. |
| Approximately how many pages need translation? | Page count is a direct proxy for scope and price, so longer documents score higher than short, uncertain ones. |
| When do you need the translated document ready? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Are you the authorized requester for this translation on behalf of your organization? | Confirming the requester has authority to commission the translation on behalf of their organization protects against wasted scoping on unofficial inquiries. |

Common document translation lead scenarios
Certified contract, single requester
A contract needing certified translation, submitted by someone confirmed as the authorized requester, scores high on both the certification and authorization signals.
Large technical manual, no certification
A 20+ page technical manual with no certification requirement still scores high on volume alone, even though it skips the certified/notarized signal entirely.
Request made on someone else's behalf
A client submitting for an organization but answering 'no' to being the authorized requester lands with a lower weight, flagging it for a verification step before scoping.
Marketing copy, page count unclear
A marketing document with an uncertain page count and no certification need routes in as a standard lead rather than a priority one, since neither high-weight signal is present.

Document Translation lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake separate certified translation requests from standard ones?
Yes. The intake asks directly whether certified or notarized delivery is required, and that answer carries one of the highest weights in the scoring model, which is also why it's the anchor for the Certified Translation sibling page.
How are language pairs captured if there's no fixed list?
Language pairs are collected as free text, so clients can specify any source and target combination without being limited to a dropdown of preset languages.
How does page count affect lead priority?
Page count is asked as a range (1-5, 6-20, more than 20, or not sure), and longer documents carry higher weight since they represent larger scope, while 'not sure' still scores moderately so vague estimates aren't discarded.
What happens if the person filling out the form isn't authorized to request the translation?
The intake asks this directly, and a 'no' answer carries a lower weight than a 'yes,' which flags the lead for a quick confirmation before you invest time scoping it.
Can one submission cover multiple document types, like a contract plus a certificate?
The document type question is single-choice, so mixed-document requests should be logged as separate submissions or clarified during the discovery call rather than assumed from one intake answer.
Does the requested turnaround time change the lead's score?
Turnaround is captured so you know the timeline the client expects, but it isn't currently weighted as a priority signal, so scoring is driven by document type, certification, page count, and requester authority instead.
