How much does it cost to translate one CAD drawing? Quote from a professional translation company!
The translation of technical drawings is a systematic and rigorous language conversion service. Given the wide variety of international projects, diverse drawing formats, and multiple translation languages, translation companies usually need to provide clear and precise quotation services based on the specific characteristics of the project.
Factors Influencing the Price of CAD Drawing Translation
The price of CAD drawing translation services provided by translation companies is mainly influenced by the following key factors:
1.Drawing File Format
Common formats for CAD drawings include DWG, DXF, DWT, IGES, STL, STEP, PDF, etc. These different file formats employ different technical means during editing, which directly affects the billing method. For example, drawing translation is usually charged per page or set, but some formats may be billed based on the number of characters. Therefore, differences in drawing formats will impact service quotations.
2.Translation Language Combination
The language combination is always one of the core factors determining the price of translation services. Mainstream languages in different countries and regions, as well as the language combinations required for drawing translation projects, vary, which changes the matching difficulty for translators. For instance, English, as an international language, has the most abundant translator resources in domestic and foreign translation companies, making prices relatively affordable; whereas the prices for other minority language translations are relatively higher.
3.Document Quantity and Time Requirement
In international cooperation projects, the number of drawings needing translation is usually large, while smaller projects have fewer drawings, leading to natural differences in total and unit price discounts. Additionally, tasks such as editing, translation, proofreading, and typesetting of drawings require manual work with professional software or tools, with limited daily processing capacity. Therefore, urgent translations often require overtime or additional resources to complete, naturally increasing service prices.
