In general, the cost of translation services depends on five main factors:
- The source and target
languages - The volume of the original
texts - The format of the original documents and the
translated documents - The timescale of the
translation project - The complexity of the
texts
The complexity of the texts
The translation of technical, medical, advertising and legal texts requires the services of highly specialised translators. The contracting of such
translators is generally more expensive than that of translators specialised in informative texts. Additionally, the cost of each
translation depends on the type of translation required:
- Translation for information purposes:
translations for internal use.
- Business/standard translation: translations destined for external use.
- Translation to be published/broadcast: High-quality external communications.
