How are the expedited translation fees calculated by translation companies?

For customers who need urgent translation, they usually need translation companies to provide expedited services, which requires certain additional fees. So what are the charging standards of translation companies, and how are expedited fees calculated?

 

The charging standards of translation companies refer to the fees charged when performing translation tasks. The expedited translation fee is the additional fee required to complete the translation task within the specified time. The following is the answer of Artlangs Translation Company to these two questions.

 

1. Translation company charging standards

 

Charging methods:

Translation companies usually charge by word and by hour. Charging by word is to calculate the fee based on the number of words in the task, while charging by hour is to calculate the fee based on the time spent by the translator.

 

Charging standards:

The charging standards of translation companies are usually determined based on multiple factors such as translation difficulty, language, and field. The cost of business translation is approximately between 200 yuan and 400 yuan per 1,000 words, while the cost of technical translation is higher, and the specific cost varies from project to project.

 

2. Calculation of expedited translation fees

 

1. Determine the type of manuscript to be translated, which is related to the difficulty and professionalism. If the manuscript contains a lot of professional terms and is very difficult, the expedited fee will be correspondingly higher. On the contrary, if the difficulty is not great and it is a daily manuscript, the expedited fee will be lower.

 

2. It is related to the quality and quantity of the expedited manuscripts. The more expedited manuscripts there are, the higher the expedited fee will be. If high quality is required, the fee will also increase accordingly.

 

3. The expedited fee is related to the number of words. Usually, translation companies charge by the number of words, and expedited translation requires additional payment. The more words there are, the higher the expedited fee will be.

 

4. The expedited fee is related to the time required by the customer. The tighter the time, the heavier the company's tasks, and the expedited fee paid by the customer will also increase.

 

When evaluating whether the expedited fee standard of the translation company is reasonable, it is necessary to make comprehensive considerations and analysis to select the most cost-effective translation company for expedited translation.

 

The expedited translation fee and the translation company's charging standards are determined based on factors such as the difficulty, number of words, and timeliness of the translation task. If you want to get a more accurate translation fee, it is recommended that you fully communicate and understand the translation company before choosing it.
