How we calculate the cost of your translation
Translation costs are based on the number of words to be translated
or keyed in the original (source) text. We will ask to see a document
first before giving a firm price, as the cost of translation will vary
depending on the languages concerned, the type of document, the subject
matter, and whether it is highly specialised, repetitive, urgent or requires
extensive formatting. Once we receive a copy of the text for translation
we will provide a written quotation, which will remain valid for 30 days.
However, we can usually give a rough estimate in advance provided that
we are given basic information regarding the language, subject matter
and size of the document - click here for
a free quotation. For very large bundles of documents, we can give
you an estimate if you can supply us with a few sample pages.
Discounts may be available on assignments in excess of 5000 words, and
will vary according to word count, format and timescale. Please contact
us with details of any specific assignment for further information.

Transcription Rates
Dependant on language, usually between £25 and £50 per

will usually take between 5 and 10 hours to transcribe - the time taken
will vary according to the quality of the recording, the audibility of
the speakers and how fast they speak.
How we calculate the cost of interpreting
Interpreting is usually booked on a minimum half-day basis (to cover up
to 4 hours attendance and travel time). However, depending on language
and location, we may be able to book shorter periods at an hourly rate
to match your requirements. In addition, we may be able to offer reduced
rates for assignments lasting several days if we are given reasonable
notice. A tiered system of cancellation charges may apply if a booking
is moved or cancelled.
Our price list covers interpreting between English and those languages
we handle most frequently, and assume that we have an interpreter based
locally to the interpreting venue. Please call
us if you need a price for a language
combination not listed.
