Pricing & Procedure
What do I charge for translations?
Word price
My word price for translations ranges from EUR 0.14 to EUR 0.20 per word.
The price depends on:
- subject matter
- whether or not formatting work is required
I actually enjoy formatting WORD documents to look exactly like the scanned/pdf originals.
But the process does take
much longer than a simple translation would have.
To calculate the price of a translation I count the number of words in the
- German original (source document)
or
- English translation (target document)
The number of words in the German original are relevant
in the case of
WORD and TRADOS original files.
The number of words in the translated English document are relevant
in the case of
scans or pdf original files.
What do I charge for proofreading documents?
I charge EUR 45,00 per hour for proofreading.
I could give you a quote after having had a
look at the documents to be proofread.
Procedure for both
Send me an email at info (at) transtext-online (dot) de with the following:
- document to be translated or proofread if you already have it
- date by when you need the work done
- number of words or pages involved
I will get back to you within half a day and let you know if I can take on your project.
Please note
I need to have had a look at the documents before I can make a quote.
There is a minimum charge of EUR 45,00 for jobs from new clients.
