There’s a number of factors that a business should take into account before choosing a translation agency. It can be a tough task because you must take into account every bit of an company’s qualifications and make sure they’re capable of completing the job.
We’ve seen the unfortunate results of using a translator who was not a certified professional. We don’t want that to happen to you. Investing in a quality hardworking interpreter will save you time and hassle in the long road.
Here’s a few pricing tips on hiring a translation agency.
How Is Translation Priced?
Pricing can vary tremendously in the translation industry. Fees are determined by a variety of factors, such as the level of difficulty of a project and the availability of translators who work in the field.
Some translation services charge by the page or even the word, while others quote a price per document or hourly rate. Price can also be based on the credentials of the translator and/or the agency.

What Is The Turnaround Time For Translations?
Most projects are estimated on a case-by-case basis. Turnaround time for translations usually depends on the number of words, the style of language, the number of languages needed to be translated and document size.
Small documents, which can range from 500 words to 5,000 words, may take a day or two to complete while medium and larger projects can take a week and need to be handled in a team.
Translating a document normally happens in three phases: translation, editing and proofreading. This is for normal turnaround time that ensures that the most accurate translation work has been done.
When a project needs to be completed in a rushed manner, multiple translators will handle the assignment. However, this runs the risk of inconsistency as more the more translators and editors involved on a project means the higher chances of inconsistent terminology and style usage.
