A construction contract refers to an agreement in which all parties in a construction project clarify their rights and obligations in order to achieve a common goal. In the construction industry, construction contracts are widely used, especially in international bidding and cross-border cooperation, where contract translation is particularly important. When choosing a translation company, price is often the most important issue for customers.

　　The main factors affecting the cost of engineering contract translation:

　　1. Number of translated words

　　Translation costs are usually calculated by word count, which is a common billing method in the translation industry. The word count not only refers to the number of characters in the document, but also involves the assessment of the translation workload. For Chinese documents, the number of characters is usually used as the unit; for English or other foreign language documents, the cost is calculated based on the number of words, and may be multiplied by a certain coefficient to reflect the actual translation workload. For example, some translation companies may charge per thousand words in Chinese, while English translation may charge per thousand words (multiplied by 2).

　　2. Translation language

　　Common languages ​​such as English and Chinese have relatively low translation costs due to the abundance of translation talents and wide market demand. In contrast, less popular languages, such as Dutch and Swedish, have higher translation costs due to fewer translators and limited demand. In engineering contracts involving multilingual translation, especially when less popular languages ​​are involved, the cost tends to increase. For example, the translation cost of an English contract is usually between 150-220 yuan per thousand words, while the cost of French, German, Russian and other languages ​​may be between 250-350 yuan per thousand words.

　　3. Difficulty of Translation

　　Engineering contracts usually contain a lot of technical content such as professional terms, drawings and formulas, which greatly increases the difficulty and time of translation. For such highly specialized documents, translation companies will charge higher fees based on the complexity of the content. In particular, the translation costs of documents such as bidding documents, contract agreements, and technical drawings will usually increase accordingly.

　　4. Delivery Time

　　Translation quotes are usually calculated based on the regular delivery cycle. If the client requires expedited translation, the translation company will generally charge an additional expedited fee. The specific fee will be determined based on the negotiation between the two parties.

　　5. Formatting and special requirements

　　If the contract requires special formatting requirements, or requires the creation of new tables, charts, etc., the translation company may charge additional fees to cover these additional workloads.
