Pricing
As a general rule, I produce estimates for time and cost considering each project’s
requirements and specificities and upon inspection of the source files,
a requisite of paramount importance when aiming at having a good sense of the
project's real workload (e.g., the terminological research effort it will require).
Nonetheless, it is common practice to agree on a flat rate for ongoing collaborations
with notable monthly volumes and/or for a particular end client.
The estimate will be contingent on several factors, such as:
- Project volume
- Time requirements & constraints
- Statistical text redundancy
- Technical complexity
- Terminological density
- Source files format
- Layout intricacy
- Requirement for the usage of a specific CAT tool
- Existence & quality of translation memories
- Existence & quality of glossaries/terminological databases
- Existence & quality of reference/support materials
The invoice will be issued on the date of delivery and payment
is expected to be done within the following 45 days, through
wire transfer (preferred method, to an EU bank account), skrill or paypal.
For submitting an estimate request or
requesting information regarding my localisation (Website/Software), Project Coordination,
Audio Transcription, Video Editing, Voice-Over or Subtitling services please
send me an email including the source files
(or representative samples of these) and the applicable aforelisted information.
Minimum Rates
The table below shows my minimum rates for Translation, Technical
Translation and Proofreading/Editing/Review services.
Please bear in mind that these are rates per target word and provided
as a mere reference for budgeting purposes, since it is seldom the case
that a project's characteristics allow me to charge my minimum rate.
