Basic rates for written translations

For all the translation work, the official invoice shall be established based on the source document. A standard page corresponds to 1800 characters with spaces (=250 words in Word format). If the number of characters is less than one standard page, the translation will be charged as one.

Once the nature of the texts (translation field and other elements) that have to be translated is determined, we set the deadlines with you that will be strictly respected by our specialists.

Depending on the urgency and complexity of the text, a price increase may be applied.

Basic rates for translation

€ 30 per standard page in accordance with the aforementioned definition of a “standard page”.

A price increase from 10% to 30% may be applied in case of extreme complexity of the text (particular terminology, etc.).

Increase for an urgent translation project: 25% to 100% (depending on the degree of urgency).

Discounts on rates will be granted for large translation volumes above 10 standard pages.
