TRANSLATION RATES

In the translation industry, translation rates are usually computed per word to translate, or per word translated.

This is a good way to price the volume of work the translator needs to manage regardless of the format of each page. As documents sometimes require additional formatting, the price per word blends in its rate an allocation for the additional time required to format the document properly. This makes it simple to provide an accurate quote.

Highly specialized technical documents and industry specific documents often require substantial research via on line and printed dictionaries which take additional time, pushing the translation rates per word upward. At the end of the day, translators make a modest income based on the time spent regardless of the complexity of the work.
