How language projects are priced, what drives cost up or down, and where paying less costs more.
Translation is normally quoted using the source word or character count, language pair, content and review level. Page-based, hourly, layout or research work is scoped separately where appropriate. The quotation states the counting basis, inclusions and assumptions.
We acknowledge requests within 4 hours and return a formal quote within 24 hours, including complex multi-language and compliance projects. These are quotation response times, not translation delivery deadlines.
Ask us to confirm the minimum project fee for your file and service level. Setup, review and formatting may affect a small-job quote. There is no fixed 500-word minimum established by this page.
An MSA can set rates and how repetitions or approved Translation Memory matches are charged. Savings depend on reuse, source changes and validation needs; no fixed percentage reduction follows automatically from a long relationship.
Yes. We offer Master Service Agreements (MSA) covering rate schedules, service level commitments, NDA terms, invoicing cycles, and dedicated account management. Common for enterprise clients with recurring high-volume needs.
Payment currency, invoicing details, deposit and credit terms are confirmed in the quotation or MSA. Bank transfer is available; Net 30 or Net 60 is not an automatic entitlement for every account.
Acknowledged in 4 hours, quoted in 24. Discuss confidentiality before sharing sensitive files.
