Our rates

The price of a translation depends on the number of words in the text provided and the chosen language combination. Each language combination has a fixed word price.

The number of words (in thousands) in the translation multiplied by the price (per thousand words) is the final invoice amount. Translation fees are normally quoted in £ per thousand words.

As a guide the average word-count per page for a commercial document is 300 words. A solid text of normal sized A4 would be approx. 500 words. If the document is in Word then use the word count in Word. Go to >Tools>Word Count> to find the number of words.

Other charges

For most translations the standard charges apply. However, additional charges may be applicable, subject to sight of the original document, for example:

  • Work required in special formats
  • Extensive or specialist tables and charts
  • Powerpoint Presentations
  • Translations where the translator's professional subject input is required (e.g certain types of legal, medical, technical, or other professional documents, where professional rates may also apply. However, we always allocate your work to a translator with experience or qualifications related to the subject matter and this is included in the standard translation charge.
  • Where documents require validation or notarisation, standard charges for this service apply.

Where additional proofreading is required, e.g. for publication ready documents, or where proofreading by another translator is required. (Standard charges include normal checking by the translator and our own quality control checks).

Our quotation will take into account project size and other factors. Rates are flexible and adaptable to individual customer needs and pricing systems. Customer-specific service contracts are available for regular customers, allowing for an even more competitively priced translation service. Free, no-obligation estimates are available for each translation order.
