Since all documents are unique - so are the prices to translate them. Once I have seen the document, I will happily provide you with a detailed estimate, or a representative sample. I am happy to do up 100 word test translation. Technical difficulty and the delivery deadline are the most important factors influencing the price for a translation.
Please note that the rates given below are for estimation purposes only.
Translation rates: from US$ 0.10 per source word
Editing/Proofreading rates: from US$0.05 per source word
Surcharges (research-intensive and/or rush jobs): 25-40%
Minimum charge: US$ 25.00
Preferred payment methods are Paypal or bank transfer. Payment is due within 30 calendar days upon receipt of the invoice.
I will provide you with a clear breakdown of the costs involved and the time required to complete your translation work.
