Costs and Turnaround for Translation Services

How are Translation Costs Determined?

Pricing considerations include:

Translation needed - Pricing is based on the length of the document.
Language- Some languages, such as Chinese, Russian or Arabic, have higher translation costs due to the difficulty of translation.
Estimated date of completion - Our goal is to deliver quality translations on your deadline, however rushed dates will carry an added fee.
Recurring Projects - Recurring projects become easier as translators become accustomed to your materials and requirements, which may reduce the pricing.

Additional pricing considerations are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the scope of work, such as desktop publishing, formatting, uploading onto a website, culturally adaptation, ongoing projects, subject matter of material (technical may be more) and research needed.

Translation Turnaround Time

Your deadline is our goal.

Short projects are typically completed in 2-3 days, allowing time to clarify questions, assign a translator, and complete the work.

Longer projects require 2-3 additional project management days, plus an average of 1 day per 1,000 words. Keep in mind however that project times may vary by translator or material.
On average, editing is completed in 1 day per 4,000 words, though difficulty or technicality of materials may impact this estimate. We will be clear and communicative about editing completion times.
When calculating your translation days account only for business days, not weekends or holidays. It is best to build in a little extra time to keep the project on schedule.

We strive to deliver quality translation on your deadline, but factors such as technicality, length, and language may impact our capabilities. We will be direct about turnaround time as it applies to your needs and make suggestions based on rush deliveries and expectations.
