FAQ: Language Services Pricing
What is the difference between translation and interpretation services?
How are interpretation services rates calculated?
Interpretation pricing depends on the service provided (on-site, phone, or video), duration, language availability, subject matter, and scheduling or logistical requirements. Pricing reflects the operational environment and required service level.
Interpretation Services are provided at hourly, half-day, or full-day rates, depending on the needs of the event. Phone interpretation on demand (VRI Services) is billed by the minute.
How are translation prices determined?
The translation price is normally calculated based on the word count in the source text multiplied by the cost per word for the language pair requested.
Cost per word may also vary based on the factors mentioned previously. Other pricing options, including hourly and per-page rates, are also available depending on the nature of the content and services required.
Do translation rates differ based on content type?
Our translation rates may vary for different types of content. Translating specialized content, such as technical or legal documents, requires high expertise. Therefore, translation rates for such content will likely be more expensive than simpler, more concise content.
Specialized content requires research and, often, the creation or review of a glossary of terms to aid the translation.
Do expedited fees apply for translation services?
Fees for rush or expedited translation services may apply if a project requires a faster turnaround time than usual.
When larger or more complex translation projects require a speedier completion time, adjustments must be made to our team’s workload to accommodate the deadline. These fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the total project cost.
How do I receive an exact quote for your translation services?
To receive an accurate quote for your translation service’s needs, send us your source files using our free quote request form or via email.
It is essential to provide as much information as possible about your project, including the desired target audience, language pair(s), and how the translated documents will be used.

Do you publish standard rates for language services?
We do not publish fixed rates, as language services vary significantly by project and use case. Each project’s pricing is developed through consultation to reflect each organization’s specific requirements.
How do you ensure pricing transparency?
Each pricing proposal includes a defined scope, deliverables, timelines, and service assumptions.
This ensures clarity and avoids unexpected costs.
