Request a translation with consent and a quote

Capture speaker consent, set source and target languages, and request a quote estimate so localized or same-voice content is prepared before any paid translation runs.

Purpose

Prepare a translation request by recording consent, choosing source and target languages, and requesting a quote estimate, so localized work is ready to begin the moment provider and legal readiness are confirmed — without any premature or unapproved translation.

Who this is for

Owners and admins preparing localized or same-voice content who need consent and a quote estimate before paid translation begins.

Prerequisites

A workspace with translation readiness enabled and an owner, admin, or creator role to save consent.
Agreement on the source language and one or more target languages for the content.
Speaker consent for any same-voice or voice-matched localization before you request a quote.

Steps

Open Translation Readiness for the project or piece of content you want to localize.
Record consent and set the source language and each target language you need.
Request a quote estimate to preview the units and the estimated unit cost for the work.
Review any setup blockers the estimate lists, and resolve the ones you can.
Keep the saved consent, languages, and estimate in place until live translation is enabled.
Revisit once provider and legal readiness are confirmed to start the prepared work.

Expected result

Consent, source and target languages, and a quote estimate are saved together, with any blockers clearly listed. The estimate is a preview only — no live translation runs, no message is sent, and no spend happens until provider and legal readiness are confirmed.

Verification

The saved consent and your chosen source and target languages persist when you return to Translation Readiness.
The quote estimate shows the unit count and the estimated unit cost, plus any setup blockers.
No translation is produced and no charge is applied while readiness is still pending.

If something goes wrong

The quote estimate will not generate: Confirm consent is saved and that both a source and at least one target language are set, then request the estimate again.
A setup blocker is listed on the estimate: Read the blocker; it names the readiness step still required, such as provider or legal review, before live work can run.
Same-voice or voice-matched localization is unavailable: Same-voice needs explicit speaker opt-in recorded as consent plus provider readiness; capture the consent first, then revisit.

Permissions

Saving consent, setting languages, and requesting estimates needs an owner, admin, or creator role. Producing a live translation also requires provider and legal readiness, which stay separate from this preparation step.

Support

If your estimate stays blocked or a language pair will not save, ask your workspace admin to review provider and legal readiness first. LumenReach support can explain what a blocker means and how readiness works without exposing private cost details or making any live translation call.
