How Is English Translation Charged?

In today’s globalized world, English has become the universal language for communication, business, and knowledge exchange.
Whether it’s a corporate document, legal contract, technical manual, academic paper, or marketing material,
high-quality English translation is the foundation of global connection and business success.

Many clients often ask:

“How is English translation charged?”

At Airui Translation, we believe that the value of translation lies not simply in word count —
but in linguistic precision, subject expertise, timeliness, and quality assurance.

Ⅰ. Main Factors Affecting English Translation Pricing

1. Type and Purpose of the Document

Different types of content require different levels of linguistic skill and professional background:

• Business and marketing materials – focus on fluency, tone, and brand consistency;

• Legal and contract documents – require precision, clarity, and strict terminology;

• Technical manuals and product specifications – demand in-depth industry knowledge;

• Academic papers and publications – emphasize academic rigor and stylistic accuracy;

• Certificates and personal documents – must comply with official and embassy standards.

2. Language Direction

The pricing for Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese translation differs.
Chinese-to-English translation must meet native-level fluency and international standards,
while English-to-Chinese translation focuses on accuracy, tone, and readability in the target language.

3. Volume and Workload

Translation fees depend on the total word count, content complexity, and level of editing required.
Documents needing multiple rounds of proofreading or layout formatting will be evaluated accordingly.

4. Level of Specialization

Fields such as finance, law, medicine, engineering, and IT require translators with domain-specific knowledge and extensive terminology mastery.

5. Turnaround Time

Standard and rush projects differ in manpower allocation.
If a client requires fast delivery, Airui Translation can provide expedited services while maintaining high quality.

6. Formatting and Layout Requirements

When documents must retain the same layout, tables, or design elements as the original,
Desktop Publishing (DTP) and file reconstruction work may be included in the overall quotation.
