How much does it cost to translate a document?

In today's context of in-depth globalization, cross-border business cooperation has become an important way for many companies to expand their business and seek development. In this process, the demand for translation of various documents is endless. Whether it is daily business communication documents or important agreements and charters related to the core of cooperation, accurate translation is required to ensure the accurate communication and understanding of information between the two parties. For this reason, when choosing a translation agency, customers pay special attention to the question of how to charge for translating a document. After all, reasonable prices and high-quality translation services are the key to the smooth development of cooperation. Let's take a closer look at Airui Global Translation's document translation charging standards.

How much does it cost to translate a document? Document translation fee standards

When looking for document translation services, you must be careful to identify whether the translation company is reliable. Companies that do not have a set of standard and reasonable quotations and arbitrarily ask for prices are most likely operating informally. The current translation market is like a melting pot, with all kinds of companies mixed in it, especially many newly started translation companies that have not yet established a complete and scientific quotation system and have random pricing. Such companies are obviously not worth choosing.

Airui Global Translation Company fully considers the complexity and diversity of document translation, and divides the translation of written documents into reading level, business level, high business level, professional level, and publishing level according to the difficulty of translation. The translation price corresponding to each level is different, and the charging price for a specific document needs to be comprehensively determined in combination with the actual translation needs.

As you can imagine, the types of documents are extremely complex and diverse, and they vary greatly in content, professionalism, and translation difficulty. For example, documents such as contracts, agreements, and charters often involve rigorous legal clauses and business norms, and the wording must be accurate and professional; technical manuals are filled with a large number of professional technical terms and industry-specific expressions; and financial reports require accurate translation of numbers, financial terms, etc. Therefore, different types of documents have different levels of difficulty in translation, which leads to corresponding differences in translation fees.

Specifically, the price of document translation is mainly affected by many factors, such as the specific professional requirements of the translation project itself, the difficulty of the material, the original language, the target language, the total amount of material to be translated, and the degree of urgency, etc. For example, if you are only translating ordinary documents, the quality of the translation at the reading level may be enough to meet the needs; but if you are translating a contract, you must use the translation standards of the business level and above, and after the translation is completed, you will also add additional processes such as proofreading and polishing to ensure the high quality of the translation. In short, the price difference corresponding to different translation needs is often quite large.

From the basic rules of pricing, the fees for document translation are usually determined based on the difficulty of the translation content and the industry to which it belongs. This can be said to be the most basic requirement. However, in the actual translation quotation stage, if the volume of documents to be translated is relatively large, customers can enjoy corresponding price discounts. The billing method for document translation is to count the number of words in the document information. The statistical method strictly refers to the National Standard of the People's Republic of China "Translation Service Specification Part 1: Written Translation" ( GB/T1936.1-2008), that is, according to Microsoft Word 2010 review/word count/word count × unit price/1000 to calculate the price, the unit is yuan/thousand words; if you encounter a PDF format document, you can use the relevant tools to convert it into a Word document first, then count the words, and then determine the specific price per thousand words of translation based on the translation language and translation difficulty.

Generally speaking, if it is ordinary document translation, the requirements for professionalism and translation quality are not particularly high, and a junior translator can complete the translation work, and the corresponding fees will be relatively low; but if it is a highly professional document translation, it must be done by a professional and experienced translator, and the fees in this case will naturally be higher.

The key to the question of how much it costs to translate a document lies in what kind of document translation service you need, because different types and difficulty levels of documents have different translation quotes. As an excellent domestic translation agency with professional and foreign-related translation qualifications, Airui Global Translation has a professional manual translation team.
