Translation Rates

Rates
Translation fees vary from project to project. Generally, my prices are based on a per-word rate as determined by subject, language and format requirements of your document. The words in the source text are calculated by MS Word. To obtain a quote for your particular project, please provide the source text for free estimate. There's no cost and no obligation.
English to Chinese: USD0.08 per word.

Rush Service:
The turnaround time necessary to complete a translation will depend on the volume, and technical nature of the material to be translated. Generally, the daily workload of my translation is approximately 3,000 words. To ensure the quality translation, I only commit realistic turnaround time. If rush service is required, we will have to reach an agreement on the delivery deadline and payment term separately.

Payment :
50% payment as deposit to start the translation work. Upon completion, the balance 50% to be paid upon receipt of document.

Post-Project Evaluation :
To help me enhance my service, I normally would like to have a post-project evaluation meeting with my clients. There is no charge for this.

Credentials
