Product manual translation is a highly professional and precise service, so its fee standard is relatively high. The translation fee is usually comprehensively considered based on multiple factors, including the number of words in the manual, language difficulty, professionalism in the translation field, requirements for translation quality, and the urgency of the translation task.

　　Product manual translation fee standard

　　According to the relevant provisions of the National Standard of the People's Republic of China "Translation Service Specification (GB/T 19363.1-2003)", Artlangs Translation Company uses the "number of characters" (excluding spaces) in "word count" as the basis for calculating the translation volume, and determines the translation unit price according to the purpose of the document and the professional field, and then calculates the total cost.

　　Taking Chinese-English translation as an example, the price of standard-level translation is about 160 yuan/thousand Chinese characters (excluding spaces), the price of professional-level Chinese-English translation is about 240 yuan/thousand Chinese characters (excluding spaces), and the price of publishing-level Chinese-English translation is about 360 yuan/thousand Chinese characters (excluding spaces). If it is a native language translation, the cost is usually higher. It is generally recommended that product manuals use professional-level translation to ensure the quality of the translation.

　　Factors affecting the cost of product manual translation:

　　1. Number of words in the manual: The number of words in the manual is one of the key factors in determining the translation cost. The translation cost is usually calculated by the number of words or pages. Short manuals usually have higher unit prices, while longer manuals may have lower unit prices, because the translation of long documents requires more time and effort, and translation companies or translators may attract customers by lowering the unit price.

　　2. Language difficulty: The translation costs of different languages ​​are different. Common languages are usually cheaper, while some rare or highly professional languages will have relatively higher translation costs. This is because translating these languages ​​requires higher professional skills and more research work.

　　3. Professional field: The professional field of translation is also an important factor in the difference in costs. For example, the translation of product manuals in the fields of medicine, law, finance, etc. usually requires mastering the specialized terms in the field, so the cost is higher. However, the translation costs of some general manuals, such as regular product manuals or user manuals, are relatively low.

　　4. Translation quality requirements: The impact of translation quality requirements on costs cannot be ignored. High-quality translations are usually more expensive because they require more time and effort to ensure the accuracy, professionalism, and fluency of the translation. Low-quality translations are cheaper, but may have grammatical errors, inaccurate terminology, and other issues that affect the effectiveness of the manual.

　　5. Urgency of translation: If the translation task needs to be completed quickly, the translation company will usually charge an expedited fee. This is because urgent translations require more resources to ensure that high-quality translations are delivered on time.
