How much does manual translation cost?

How much does manual translation cost? In today's surging wave of globalization, domestic companies are increasingly communicating and cooperating with people all over the world. Whether it is cultural exchange or economic exchanges, the smoothness of language communication is crucial. Although artificial intelligence translation tools are emerging in an endless stream, they often seem to be unable to cope with advanced translation tasks and are unable to meet the needs of accurate, professional and culturally rich translation. Therefore, manual translation still occupies an irreplaceable position in many key areas. So, how is manual translation charged? Let Airui Global Translation Company explain it to you in detail below.

How much does manual translation cost? Manual translation fee standards

At present, some newly established or small-scale enterprises may tend to use free machine translation tools due to budget constraints. However, the results of machine translation are often unsatisfactory, and often there are problems such as irrelevant text and confusing sentences, which seriously affect the accuracy and effectiveness of information transmission. In contrast, professional human translators can not only accurately translate the original content, but also polish and organize it in their native language according to the specific needs of customers and the characteristics of the target audience, thereby effectively avoiding misunderstandings or losses caused by poor communication and ensuring the smooth progress of communication and cooperation.

Manual translation fee

The charging standards for manual translation are closely related to many factors, including the language of translation, text type, professional level, word count and purpose. Airui Global Translation divides translation services into different levels such as reading level, business level, high business level, professional level and publishing level based on these key factors. Customers can preliminarily estimate the translation price based on the purpose of the document. At this stage, we mainly determine the price based on the professional level and translation difficulty of the manuscript content, and refer to the national standards of the People's Republic of China "Translation Service Specification Part 1: Translation" (GB/T1936.1 - 2008) and "Translation Quality Requirements for Translation Services" (GB/T18692 - 2005). The specific calculation method is: if the translation is from Chinese to English, the price is calculated according to Microsoft Word 2010 review/ word count/ number of characters (excluding spaces) × unit price/1000, and the unit is RMB/thousand characters (excluding spaces); if the translation is from other languages, the price is generally calculated according to Microsoft Word 2010 review/ word count/ number of words × unit price/1000, and the unit is RMB/thousand words. For documents in PDF format, you can first use tools to convert them into Word documents to count the words.

If it is the translation of ordinary materials, the professionalism and translation quality requirements are relatively low, and junior translators can be competent, and the fees are relatively affordable. For highly professional materials, such as documents in the fields of engineering, medicine, law, etc., experienced and professional senior translators are needed to handle them, and their fees will naturally increase accordingly. However, for some special engineering industries, since many uncommon words and professional terms are involved, highly professional translators are needed to ensure the accuracy and professionalism of the translation, so the fees will increase. It should be noted that the actual manual translation price will be dynamically adjusted according to the specific translation project. Airui Global Translation Company will comprehensively consider factors such as the complexity of the text, the urgency, and the special requirements of the customer to determine the final quotation. In addition, for projects with a large amount of translation, we will also give certain discounts. The specific discount range needs to be determined by communication and negotiation between the two parties in advance.
