Price Per Word for Translation: Unraveling the Mystery
We understand that budget is an important consideration when seeking translation services. You might be wondering, "How much does translation cost per word?" At Idiomatic USA, we believe in transparent pricing and providing the best value for your investment.
While it's tempting to simply look for the lowest price per word, it's important to understand that several factors influence the cost of translation. Let's break down the key elements:
1. Language Pair
Some languages have a larger pool of qualified translators, while others are more specialized. This impacts the price. For example, translating from Spanish to English might be more affordable than translating from a less common language like Finnish to English.
2. Type of Document
The complexity and technicality of the document play a significant role. A simple personal letter will generally cost less to translate than a complex legal contract or a technical manual.
3. Translation Expertise
Specialized documents, such as legal or medical texts, require translators with subject matter expertise. This specialized knowledge and experience can influence the price per word.
4. Volume and Turnaround Time
Larger projects often have a lower per-word cost due to economies of scale. Similarly, urgent requests with tight deadlines might have a higher price per word to accommodate the expedited service.
5. Service Level
Different levels of service are available, each with varying price points:
Basic Translation: Focuses on accurate translation of the text.
Editing and Proofreading: Includes an additional review for grammar, style, and consistency.
Certified Translation: Includes a signed statement from the translator or agency certifying the accuracy of the translation.
Notarized Translation: Includes notarization of the translator's signature on the certification statement.
