Translation Rates
Polyglot Translation Services constantly strives to provide you with the highest quality translations at the most competitive rates in the industry. We have well-organized our operations to eliminate the fees added by many other translation companies, including project management and overhead fees. Providing you with simple and competitive pricing paired with the highest quality in the marketplace is a key element to our mission.
Our pricing for translation projects is determined by several factors:
Number of source words
Language combination
Amount of time required to complete the assignment
Translation Cost
The rates charged for translations are agreed on at the beginning of a specified project. Depending on the client’s needs, the same rates can apply across many different projects. Should the scope of a project change, we will work with you to agree on new pricing rates that are more appropriate for the new project or scope. When you request a free, no-obligation quote, we will provide you with a detailed pricing quote broken down by document and language pair.
Translation Price Per Source Word
The primary factor in determining pricing is the number of source words in the document. A source language refers to the document’s original language and the target language refers to the language into which the document will be translated.
Translation Rate Per Complexity of the Source
Translation pricing (price per word) also depends on the level of complexity of each document. In that, projects or documents of complex and or highly technical texts will be priced higher than general documents like business letters. For example, a general business letter (with non-technical terms) will be priced lower than a technical patent, medical text, complex legal contract, pharmaceuticals related document or software manual. A general letter will be priced at the lowest price per word while complex legal documents and highly technical text will be at a higher price.
Translation Prices Per Language Combination
The language combinations or pairs will be a factor in calculating the price of a translation project. Western European languages tend to be less costly, while Asian and African languages are more expensive, due to the complexity involved with the characters and the limited number of quality linguistic resources.
Billing
Polyglot Translation Services normally requires partial payment upfront and the remaining upon delivery of the final product. For clients with proven good credit or that have a good payment history, we can bill in arrears on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding the above, Trusted Translations will work with your company on a case-by-case basis to accommodate your billing needs.
