Brochure translation is a professional language service, the purpose of which is to accurately and fluently translate the brochure content in the original language into the target language to meet the needs of different cultural and language backgrounds. When translating a brochure, the translation agency or translator will consider a variety of factors to determine the charge standard. The following are some common considerations for brochure translation charges and their corresponding charge standards.
1. Brochure translation charge standard
The cost of brochure translation is usually calculated based on the number of words, similar to other document translations. The specific statistical method follows the standards of "Translation Service Specification Part 1: Written Translation" (GB/T1936.1-2008) and "Translation Service Translation Quality Requirements" (GB/T18692-2005). Usually, the word count function of Microsoft Word 2010 is used to determine the number of words, and the fee is calculated based on the unit price per thousand words. For Chinese to English translation, the calculation method is the number of characters (excluding spaces) × unit price/1000, and the unit is RMB/thousand characters (excluding spaces). If the file is in PDF format, you can convert it to a Word document first to count the words. Taking Chinese into foreign languages as an example, the reference prices are as follows:
Chinese into English, Japanese, Korean: 200-360 yuan/thousand words
Chinese into other languages: 250-500 yuan/thousand words
This price includes translation and professional typesetting services, and the actual price may be adjusted according to the specific translation needs. When translating in large quantities, you may get a certain discount by communicating in advance.
2. Factors affecting the price of brochure translation
Translation language: Language has a significant impact on translation costs. The translation costs of common languages such as English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are relatively low because these languages have a large demand for translation and more abundant resources. Less common languages such as Arabic, Russian and Greek usually have higher translation costs due to scarce resources and higher language difficulty.
Word count and complexity: The word count and complexity of the brochure will also affect the charge. Factors such as the word count of the brochure and whether it contains special formats will increase the workload and difficulty of translation. The translation agency or translator will assess the complexity of the project based on these factors to determine the corresponding fee standards.
Translation cycle: The cycle requirements of the translation work will also affect the fee. If a large amount of translation needs to be completed in a short period of time, the translation agency or translator may need to invest additional resources, which will lead to increased costs. On the contrary, a longer translation cycle usually allows the translator more time for polishing and the fee may be lower.
The fee for brochure translation is affected by many factors, and the translation agency or translator needs to consider these factors comprehensively to ensure that high-quality and efficient translation services are provided. When choosing translation services, customers should also understand the relevant fee standards and service quality to make an informed decision.
