  I. Overview of Book Translation Fees

  (A) Word Count-Based Pricing

  Book translation commonly adopts a per-thousand-word pricing model, where the cost increases with the word count. This is a common practice in the industry. Artlangs Translation Company categorizes book translations into different levels based on translation difficulty, professional field, and quality requirements. The specific fees are as follows:

  1.Basic Level Translation

  2.Professional Level Translation

  Targeted at highly specialized books covering fields such as medicine, law, and technology, priced between 240-350 yuan per thousand words. This level requires translators to possess corresponding professional knowledge to ensure accurate terminology transmission and complex concept interpretation.

  3.Publishing Level Translation

  As the highest standard, designed for books about to be published, the translation must reach extremely high quality, with fluent language and compliance with publishing norms, priced between 370-500 yuan per thousand words. It is usually undertaken by senior translators and undergoes multiple proofreading and reviews.

  (B) Language Pair Affects Fees

  Given the differences in translation difficulty and market supply and demand among different language pairs, fees vary.
