How much does it cost to translate a 10,000-word journal article?

Time : 2025-01-14Hits : 20

  At present, the paper translation services on the market are usually priced according to the level of translation, but the fee is generally charged per thousand words, and the fees for Chinese-English and English-Chinese translations are also different.

  Translation companies usually calculate fees based on the number of words in the Chinese text, which includes all Chinese, foreign languages, punctuation, formulas and other symbols. For Word, Excel, PPT and other files, translation companies will use the "word count" tool in the computer and use "number of characters (excluding spaces)" as the word count benchmark. The following is a rough reference price:

  English translation:

  Foreign to Chinese: General 120-200 yuan/1,000 words

  Chinese to foreign: General 150-220 yuan/1,000 words

  Japanese/Korean/French/German/Russian translation:

  Foreign to Chinese: General 220-300 yuan/1,000 words

  Chinese to foreign: General 230-320 yuan/1,000 words

  Other small languages:

  Foreign to Chinese: 280-600 yuan/1,000 words

  Chinese to foreign: 300-650 yuan/1,000 words

  Taking Chinese-English translation as an example, the translation cost of a journal article of about 10,000 words is about 1,200 to 2,200 yuan. If it is a paper with particularly high professional requirements, the price will be higher.

  Of course, the above prices are for reference only, and the specific evaluation should be based on the actual project.

  The main factors affecting the translation cost of journal articles include:

  Word count: Translation costs are usually calculated by word count. The more words, the higher the cost.

  Professional fields: Translation costs for highly professional fields such as medicine, law, and engineering are higher because translators need to master the expertise and terminology of the relevant fields.

  Language pairs: The translation costs of common languages ​​are lower, while the translation costs of minority languages ​​and those that require professional terminology are higher.

  Translation quality requirements: High-quality translation requires more time and expertise, so the price will be higher.

  Delivery time: Urgent translation tasks require more resources and time, and the cost is correspondingly higher.

  Document format: Files in formats such as PDF and images require additional text recognition and typesetting, which are more expensive.

  Journal article translation has high academic requirements, so it is recommended to seek help from a professional translation company. After understanding the approximate cost of article translation, you also need to understand the payment method. In most cases, the cost is paid in installments, with a partial deposit paid first, and the balance paid after receiving the translation and confirming its quality. This method can also ensure the rights and interests of the author.

  Regarding the cost of journal article translation, the specific amount may vary, and the charging standards of different translation companies will also vary slightly. Some companies also provide discounts and discounts for new users. Therefore, the specific cost is best obtained through evaluation by the editor.
