Translation Rates:
My rates vary according to the degree of difficulty and length of your text, its content, topic, and format
as well as your deadline. Please do
not hesitate to contact me for a free quotation.In Germany, translation rates are usually calculated per standard line (55 keystrokes).
Here
in North America, the UK, Ireland, and many other English speaking
countries, prices are generally calculated per word. Usually, I charge my
clients per
word. The end price is based on the number of words in the source text (your original). That gives you the
advantage of knowing
the exact price ahead of time. The below price-list shows my general rates in US Dollars.
For more detailed and project-specific quotation,
please ask for a Free translation Quote at the 'Free Quote' page. My translation method and standard was established to provide efficient, flexible and reasonable
standards and expert solutions for businesses
and
individuals. My primary goal is to provide accurate, precise, affordable,
high-quality translations.

difficult. Please ask me for a free quote.

Website Translation: Websites are as varied as the Internet. A website will often contain straightforward,
more difficult and challenging text. If you are

quote. Please tell me whether you would like the entire site translated or just some particular sections.

I translate between German and English in both directions - I don't do other languages, however I run a tight
network with language professionals who specialize in
other languages and gladly give
you a referral to them to suit your language needs.
2. What is the turnaround time for translations?
The translation period depends on three factors:
The
length of the text
The difficulty level - technical, is research necessary etc.
The format in which the translation
is to be completed - Word, PowerPoint, FrontPage etc.
As a general rule, an experienced translator can usually render
approx. 2000 words per day.
3. What is the cost of translation? Is there a volume discount?
Translation is charged in Dollars. My prices start at $ 0.10 cents per
word. Of course, translation of simple everyday texts costs less than more challenging technical
text.
