How Do Russian Translation Companies Charge?

— More than just per-word pricing: language, subject matter, and service matter too.

With growing cooperation in trade, energy, construction, and education between China and Russia—as well as with CIS countries—high-quality Russian translation is in increasing demand.

Clients often ask:

“How much does Russian translation cost per 1,000 words?”
“What’s the price for translating a contract or technical manual?”
“Why do different companies quote so differently?”

In fact, Russian translation pricing is based on several key factors, and understanding them can help you better assess quotes and services.

✅ Common Pricing Methods

1. Per Word or Per Character (Most Common)

• Chinese to Russian: Charged per 1,000 Chinese characters

• Russian to Chinese: Usually charged per 1,000 Russian words or characters
  (Character count is often more reliable due to shorter Russian word lengths.)
