How much does English-Chinese contract translation cost? In the process of cross-border cooperation between enterprises, foreign enterprises often provide English contracts, and it is very important to accurately translate these English contracts into Chinese.

Given the large differences in the use of words between Chinese and English, in order to avoid misunderstandings and ambiguities, entrusting a professional translation company to complete the English contract translation is undoubtedly a safer choice. So, how is the English-Chinese contract translation charged? Let's take a closer look at the English-Chinese contract translation fee standards of Airui Global Translation Company.

How much does it cost to translate a contract from English to Chinese?

Features of contract translation

Contract translation belongs to the category of professional translation, mainly focusing on the translation of various contracts, charters and clauses, and is widely used in international trade scenarios. It has the following distinctive features:

First, contract translation is different from other general translations. As a type of written translation, considering the seriousness and legal effect of contracts in various transactions, contract documents require both parties to strictly abide by relevant legal provisions. Therefore, in the choice of words, legal terms and formal and standardized vocabulary are usually used to avoid colloquial expressions, so as to accurately convey the parties' intentions and ensure the rigor and authority of the contract content.

Secondly, to complete the translation of contract documents excellently, preliminary preparation is crucial. Translators need to read through the documents before translation and strive to fully understand their contents. If they encounter something they do not understand, they should communicate and consult with the parties in a timely manner to accurately grasp the structure and order of the documents. When starting the preliminary translation after reading through, the logical structure of the sentences must be clarified. It is worth noting that legal document translation often uses complex and long sentences in order to ensure the rigor of the content and avoid loopholes, while also ensuring that the text is clear and logically coherent.

Third, after the content is accurately translated, the format and structure of the translation must strictly comply with the specifications and requirements of the original contract. In addition, professional terms must be used in the use of vocabulary, covering professional terms in multiple fields such as business, law, etc., so as to meet the professional characteristics of the contract text.

English to Chinese Contract Translation Fees

The charging methods for contract translation and other document translation are similar, and both are charged according to the number of translated words. However, contract translation has its own particularity. It involves many industry professional terms and special requirements of enterprises , and also contains a lot of legal content, so the accuracy and rigor of the words used in the translation process are extremely high. Based on this, when a translation company undertakes contract translation business, it will select senior translators with relevant professional backgrounds, legal knowledge and professional skills to be responsible for this work. The labor cost of such professional translators is relatively high, which also increases the overall cost of contract translation. Accordingly, the charging standards will naturally be higher.

Airui Global Translations charges for English-Chinese contract translation based on the language and difficulty of translation. First, the unit price of translation is determined in units of 1,000 words. Then, according to the National Standard of the People's Republic of China, "Specifications for Translation Services Part 1: Written Translation" (GB/T1936.1 - 2008), the translation is reviewed/counted/counted by Microsoft Word2010 (if the document is in PDF format, it can be converted into a Word document with the help of a tool to count the words). The counted number of words is divided by 1,000 and then multiplied by the unit price. The result is the final contract translation quotation. Under normal circumstances, the reference price of contract translation is within a certain range (the specific amount is not specified here, as it needs to be flexibly changed according to the actual situation). This price covers the translation of documents, comparison and typesetting, and tax-inclusive services. However, it should be made clear that this is only a reference price. The specific charging situation should be flexibly adjusted according to the details of the actual translation needs. It is recommended to obtain accurate information through online consultation with customer service for detailed translation prices.
