Q: How much do you charge for your services?
The price of every project depends on four factors:
1. Language combination. European languages are the most affordable, while translations from or into more “obscure or rare” languages are more expensive. The availability of highly trained professional translators in any given language will determine the price.
2. Urgency. Normally our professionals can translate 1500 - 3000 words a day. If your need is more pressing, we can create a rush order for you that will carry a 30% surcharge for the service.
3. Number of words. This approach can have the benefit of saving you money. English translations into any of the popular European languages (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) often have a higher word count in the translated version than in the source file.
4. Subject area. Translations of generic text, with no specific terminology or special style – such as personal letters, resumes, speeches, etc., cost less than the translation of specialized documents such as; contracts, technical manuals, medical documentation, etc. The reason for this is that we will match the translator with a working knowledge of your subject.
Q: What are your rates for words and sentences that fully or partially match those already in translation?
Words and sentences that fully match those already in translation memory are charged only once. Partially matched sentences will be charged at a 50% rate. If the matching phrase has another intended meaning, it will be charged at a full price rate.
Q: Are there any extra charges or hidden fees?
We do not charge you any more than the agreed amount and the price that you are given is a flat rate with no additional fees. If you include any changes to your project, which require additional work, we will inform you about the cost for these amendments. We will never charge you without your consent and agreement.
Q: Are urgent projects more expensive?
Yes; we usually charge 30% more for urgent orders. If we are not able to deliver you the document by the requested deadline, we will contact you immediately regarding an estimated time of delivery.
