Q: Can I machine-translate (e.g. Google-translate) my abstract (or even worse, my article)?
No. The only thing we can say is: this is a terrible idea. A machine-assisted translation (MT) remains useless, as of now, and entirely unpublishable in a proper academic or professional environment, as are "subprime translations" from fly-by-night outfits that use machine-translation anyway and charge you for it. Regardless of software manufacturer claims, NO existing software possesses the fine conceptual, intepretive, and stylistic abilities of a truly experienced human translator. A machine translation is invariably crude. It is instantly spotted by any professional editor or reviewer with many years of multiple-context (and thus fully 'based') experience. Submission of MT material creates situations where the Editors or press staff would have to step in and 'clean up' the product, or even retranslate texts from scratch. We simply cannot do that, for very obvious time-related, professional, and ethical reasons. We can commission a translation, but only for a fee, to be borne by the author. Translation rates vary significantly (just like the prices of plumber or electrical jobs in your house). Agency pricing, if listed up front, typically does not take into account the complexity and nature of your translation project. Accurate, specialized translation demands much more time and expertise than bad translations or easy, generic jobs. Please, check on the Internet. It is true, in any number of settings. Done by a senior specialist, reviewed by a second specialist, and then proofread -- thus error-free and completely ready for print -- academic translation is commonly charged by reputable translation agencies around $0.25 CDN to $0.33 CDN per word, depending on the complexity of the text, tables, graphics, etc., and this excludes note reformatting (certified compliance of notes with publisher's format) or additional research (industry rates commonly range from $ 53.00 to $ 95.00 CAD / hr [$ 40 to $ 75 US / hr] depending on level of expertise). And these are prices that were common before the current bout of hyper-inflation.

Q: What if my article needs editing?
If it does, this will be pointed out by the referee(s) or by the Editors. Sometimes the Editors will undertake the editing of a very important contribution. Most often, however, you will be advised to seek the services of a third-party editor. The PSR can also contract a professional editor for you, quite naturally for a standard industry fee.

Q: What if I need bibliographic assistance?
If your article requires it, this will be pointed out by the referee(s) or by the Editors. Sometimes the Editors will volunteer additional bibliographic service for a very important article. Most often, however, you will be advised to seek the services of a third-party bibliographer of your choice, at your institution or University. In rare instances, the PSR may also recommend a professional bibliographer / helper.
