Is drawing translation expensive? How much does it cost to translate one drawing?

Time : 2024-12-26Hits : 40

  Drawings differ significantly from ordinary documents, especially in the construction industry, where a page of a drawing may contain little text but is abundant with numbers, symbols, and various annotations. Despite the limited word count, the translation of drawings is often more challenging, requiring the translator to possess certain knowledge of the construction industry and at least be able to understand the drawings. Therefore, the cost of such translations is usually higher. Pricing standards vary among companies. Below, taking Artlangs Translation as an example, we will introduce in detail its pricing standards and quotations for drawing translation.

  I. Factors Influencing the Cost of Drawing Translation

  1.Length and Word Count of the Drawing: This is the primary factor affecting the price. Generally, the more pages and words in the drawing, the greater the workload required for translation, and naturally, the higher the cost.

  2.Translation Difficulty: Professional terminology, technical requirements, and complex annotations in drawings increase the difficulty of translation, thereby pushing up the cost. For example, precise structures in mechanical drawings and complex circuits in electrical drawings require the translator to possess profound professional knowledge for accurate translation.

  3.Translation Quality Level: This is also a key factor determining the price. Artlangs Translation offers three levels of translation quality: standard, professional, and publication-ready. The standard level is suitable for occasions where the translation quality requirements are not high; the professional level requires the translator to have rich industry experience and professional knowledge; while the publication-ready level has extremely high requirements for the accuracy, fluency, and professionalism of the language, and therefore, the price is the highest.

  4.Typesetting and Format Adjustment: After the translation of drawings, typesetting and format adjustment are also required, which will increase additional costs. Especially for complex drawings, the typesetting work can be very cumbersome.

  5.Rush Service: If clients need to complete translation tasks within a short period, Artlangs Translation can provide rush services but at an additional cost. The amount of the fee depends on the urgency of the rush and the translation workload.

  II. Overview of Artlangs's Drawing Translation Quotations

  Based on Artlangs Translation's experience, the price of drawing translation is generally above 50-150 yuan per page, and the specific price needs to be determined according to the complexity of the drawing, the translation volume, and the translation quality level. For example, for drawings containing a large number of professional terminology, technical requirements, and complex annotations, the translation fee may increase accordingly. If clients require typesetting and format adjustment services or need to complete translation tasks within a short period, the cost will also increase accordingly.
