How much does it cost to translate an engineering drawing?
With the deepening of global communication, more and more engineering companies and design units are involved in the import and export of engineering projects at home and abroad. Such projects usually include contracts, drawings and other related matters. In some specific cases, engineering drawings need to be professionally translated.
1. Common engineering drawing translation projects
Drawing translation of cross-border engineering projects: When Chinese and foreign companies carry out engineering projects overseas or domestically, the drawings may need to be used in the other country. In order to ensure that both parties can accurately understand the data and parameters in the drawings, the drawings are usually translated into the official language of both parties.
Drawing translation of technology or engineering transfer projects: In domestic and foreign technology transfer or engineering transfer projects, when the original party is unable to continue to support overseas projects for various reasons, the engineering drawings need to be translated. The translation content is usually the language used by the recipient or the official language of its country. This situation is similar to buying or transferring projects, but it will not be described in detail.
2. Challenges and requirements of engineering drawing translation
Unlike ordinary document translation, the translation of engineering drawings is more complicated. Although the text volume of the drawings is not large, it involves knowledge in multiple professional fields, so the translation requires the translator to have a certain professional background and skills.
For example, many engineering projects are drawn using the globally used AutoCAD software, which requires the translation team to be not only proficient in the content of the drawings, but also familiar with the operation of AutoCAD software to ensure that the translation process goes smoothly.
In addition, translators also need to have an in-depth understanding of the specific professional field to which the drawings belong to ensure that the translated drawings are consistent with the content of the original manuscript.
3. Fees for engineering drawing translation
Since engineering drawings are usually not editable and the number of words cannot be accurately counted, the cost of drawing translation is usually calculated by the number of pages. The fee for Chinese-English translation is generally between 30 yuan and 150 yuan per page, and the specific price will be adjusted according to the size, complexity and professionalism of the drawing.
