Rates

The cost of a translation is based on the following criteria:

  • the number of words contained in the source document (the text to be translated)
  • the complexity of the subject matter and the research involved
  • the technicality of the terminology (legal, technical, economic, financial, etc.)
  • the format (doc, xls, pdf, ppt, html, etc.)
  • the deadline

When a source document is not available in an editable electronic format, the final cost is based on the number of words contained in the target document (the translated document).
