Translation Rates:
My rates vary according to the degree of difficulty and length of your text, its content, topic,
and format as well as your deadline. Please do
not hesitate to contact me
for a free quotation.In Germany, translation rates are usually calculated
per standard line (55 keystrokes). Here
in North America, the UK, Ireland,
and many other English speaking countries, prices are generally calculated per word. Usually, I charge my
clients per word. The end price is based on the number of words in the source text (your original). That
gives you the advantage of knowing
the exact price ahead of time. The below price-list shows
my general rates in US Dollars. For more detailed
and project-specific quotation,
please ask for a Free translation Quote at the 'Free Quote' page. My translation method and standard was established to provide efficient, flexible and
reasonable standards and expert solutions for businesses
and individuals. My primary goal is to provide accurate, precise, affordable,
high-quality translations.

1. What languages are supported?
I translate
between German and English in both directions - I don't do other languages, however I run a tight network with language
professionals who specialize in
other languages and gladly give you a referral
to them to suit your language needs.
2. What is the turnaround time for translations?
The translation period depends on three factors:
The
length of the text
The difficulty level - technical, is research necessary etc.
The format in which the translation
is to be completed - Word, PowerPoint, FrontPage etc.
As a general rule, an experienced translator can usually render
approx. 2000 words per day.
3. What is the cost of translation? Is there a volume discount?
Translation is charged in Dollars. My prices start at $
0.10 cents per word. Of course, translation of simple everyday texts costs less than more challenging technical
text. Bulk discounts can be arranged depending on the amount of work involved. For more details
please refer to my pricing page here.

with 14 days billing method can be arranged. See the section 'Payment'
