Pricing
Q.
How do we charge for translations?
A.
Translation price:
Rates are calculated from the wordcount or character count of a completed translation. Quotations are based on the estimated final wordcount, allowing for expansion or contraction of text.
If the estimate is too high, the price will go down. But we never put our prices up even if our original quotation underestimated the final wordcount of a completed translation.
Price per word varies according to language and document type (unusual languages and specialist translations are more expensive, for example) and we have a minimum charge of £50 plus VAT.
Discounts:
Large translations (10,000 words or more) and runs of translations are eligible for a discount.
Interpreting rates:
Interpreters are charged for on a half or full day basis. All travelling expenses are also included.
Proof-reading/transcriptions:
These language services are charged by the hour - which is most cost efficient.
