How much does it cost to translate 1000 words from English to Chinese?

In business, academic work, or daily tasks, we often need to translate English materials into Chinese. So, how much does it cost to translate 1000 words from English to Chinese? Below, we will explain this in detail and introduce the translation services and charges of Artlangs Translation Company.  

1. Types of Translation Services and Charges  

Common English translation services include contracts, tenders, manuals, instructions, novels, copywriting, business letters, medical records, and more. Translation companies usually charge by the number of words, and the price is often given in yuan per thousand words. Because of this, many customers want to know the exact cost for English to Chinese translation.  

English translations can be divided into document translation and text translation. Document translation is usually charged by the page or copy, while text translation is charged by the word count, often priced per thousand words. Artlangs Translation Company offers five levels of translation services: reading level, business level, advanced business level, professional level, and publication level. Customers can choose based on the difficulty of the text and estimate the cost.  

2. Translation Price Reference  

The price for English to Chinese translation is roughly 140-430 yuan per thousand English words. But note that this is only a general range. The actual price depends on the specific situation. Artlangs Translation adjusts the price based on the project requirements, such as the type of document, word count, and difficulty. Also, for large translation projects, we usually offer discounts. However, the exact discount and terms need to be discussed in advance.  

3. Factors Affecting the Translation Price  

1. Difficulty of translation: If the text involves specialized fields like law, medicine, or technology, the translation requires expert knowledge and terminology. This makes the translation harder and more expensive.  

2. Urgency: If the customer needs the translation quickly, the translation company may need more resources or overtime work. This often increases the price. Urgent services usually cost more than standard services.  

3. Quality requirements: Different projects need different levels of quality. For official documents, publications, or business materials, customers may need higher accuracy and fluency. This can include multiple checks and edits, which also raises the cost.
