How much does it cost to translate 1,000 words of French documents?
In cross-border project cooperation, the translation of French documents may be involved. If there is no full-time translator in the company and machine translation cannot meet the standard requirements, you can consider hiring a professional manual translator to handle French documents. When choosing a translation service, the translation fee is usually an important consideration. So, how is the French document translation generally charged?
French document translation fee standard
The cost of French translation usually depends on the level of the translator, the difficulty of the translation, and the specific translation requirements. In general, the translation company will set the price based on these factors. Usually, the cost of French translation is higher than the cost of translating from Chinese to French. The approximate charging standard for French translation is: 220-280 yuan to 260-350 yuan per thousand words, and the specific price will fluctuate according to the difficulty and specific requirements of the document.
Factors affecting the price of French document translation
1. Translation difficulty
There are many types of French documents, such as contracts, bids, technical manuals, project reports, drawings, etc. Different types of documents have different translation difficulties, so the charging standards are also different. The cost of translation is usually adjusted according to the professional requirements of the document, the original language, the target language, the total number of words in the document, and whether it needs to be expedited. For example, the translation of ordinary French documents may only require a basic level of translation, while legal documents such as contracts usually require a higher level of translation, and the cost will be increased accordingly.
2. Number of words translated
Translation costs are generally calculated by word count, usually based on the number of Chinese words, not the number of French words. If the French translation has less than 1,000 words, it will also be charged as 1,000 words.
In addition, if the document contains complex charts or tables, the translation cost will also increase accordingly. Because the translation requirements of these contents are higher and involve more professional knowledge, the overall translation cost will increase.
If the number of words in the translated document is large (for example, more than 50,000 words), you can negotiate with the translation company to obtain a certain discount. Especially in the case of low professional requirements, there are usually preferential prices.
3. Translation time
French translation is relatively complex and requires a long time for detailed processing. If the customer needs an expedited translation, they usually need to pay an additional expedited fee. The expedited fee is generally calculated according to the urgency of the need, usually between 30% and 100% of the original price.
