Pricing

Every translation is custom-made!

It is hard to give a readymade answer when it comes to the fees of a translation or other services. Each text and project is unique and requires individual attention.

The price depends on various factors such as:

• Type of text: Is it a technical manual, a recipe, a scientific text, etc.?
• Degree of complexity: Are there many technical terms in the text? Is the source text well- and smoothly written?
• Text length
• Format supplied: Is it a Word or Excel document, pdf, etc.?
• Deadline: How fast should the service be finished? Should it be completed within 24 hours or 2 weeks?
• Would you like an extra proofread- or revision round by a second translator? I often work with colleagues (native speakers) to have the translations proofread, as to guarantee the best quality.
• Additional tasks: Use of a special program, a special layout, etc.

Step-by-step

• You can contact me with the project details either via email or the contact form (service(s) desired, preferred deadline and the source text).
• I will send you a free quote as soon as possible. Depending on project size, we may also make agreements for a deposit.
• If you agree to the quote, please return a signed copy and transfer the deposit money.
• Once I have received your agreement, the editing of your text will begin. This is done in different stages (research, translation, proofreading, possible extra round of proofreading by a second translator)
• In the meantime, I will keep you informed about the progress. Various questions might come up regarding your text, so please stay available throughout the project to provide answers when needed.
• No later than on the agreed deadline, I will send you the translation of the processed text and an invoice via e-mail.
• After, you will have 2 weeks (effective from day of invoice) to go through the translation and indicate any requested changes. These will be included in the text as soon as possible.
