Rates:
In the U.S., translation is usually charged by the word. The
per-word rate depends on the subject matter, the amount of research
needed, the legibility of the original document (poorly copied or
faxed documents may incur extra cost), the quality of writing in the
original document (sentences that need to be untangled before they
can be translated will incur extra costs), the turnaround time, and
formatting requirements.
Please contact me for a quote. I cannot provide a price
quote without seeing the entire document you need translated.
The following scale of rates is a general indication only:
Translation: $0.18 - $0.22 per word
Editing / Proofreading: $40.00 per hour
Minimum Fee: $30
Please Note: This minimum fee applies to
all jobs
Rush Charges: 25% surcharge for a turnaround time of less than 1
business day
Literary Translation: Rates for literary translation are not
quoted by word, but are based on an evaluation of the time and
effort required for an entire project. Please contact me to discuss
further.
Payment Methods:
I accept payment
by personal check, cashier check, money order, bank transfer, or
through PayPal.
Payments originating outside the U.S. will incur a surcharge
of $10 - $20 (depending on the country) to cover bank fees.
Payment Procedure:
Unless you represent a
verifiable translation agency or a company with an accounts payable
department, payment must be received in advance.
