Prices
The first price determining factor for translations is the combination of languages: a translation from Dutch into English is less expensive than one from Dutch to Chinese, for instance, and a translation from Italian into Chinese will even be a little more costly, because it is likely that an interim translation is required. Translations from Dutch into English, German, and French, and vice versa are the least expensive.
Another factor for price determination is the degree of difficulty of the text; a medical, technical, or legal translation is more expensive in comparison to a tourist translation because it requires more time. For each translation, an estimate is made of the time involved.
The amount of text to be translated also influences the price: a discount applies to translations of more than 15,000 words; this discount increases with the size of the project. A minimum rate applies to very limited orders (less than 300 words).
Under normal circumstances, we assume a delivery period of approximately 1000 words per customer per language per day. This ensures a proper service for many customers at the same time, and avoids waiting lists. Most translations are scheduled immediately or the following day. A surcharge applies if you require a translation back sooner than the normal delivery time. The amount of this surcharge depends on the number of extra hours the translator and proofreader are required to work in order to finish the order in good time. |
