Translation costs are usually calculated based on the number of characters or words. A standard page of translation is equal to 1800 characters with spaces or 230 words. To find out how many pages your document has, open it in a text editor and go to the ‘Statistics’ menu. The program will show you the number of characters with spaces. Divide this number by 1800 to get the number of pages in the document. You don’t have to count the characters yourself. Just send us the text, and we’ll estimate its volume. The cost of translation is calculated based on both volume and urgency. A translator can complete 7-10 pages in a day. However, if speed is a priority, we can involve multiple linguists to work on your order. Our agency completes over 100 pages of foreign language translations every day. The time required for translation depends on the complexity of the text. Translating a standard document costs less than translating a page of any text. However, the cost of translating a medical document is usually higher than usual due to the many complexities involved. Medical documents often contain a large number of medical terms and are frequently handwritten. Doctors have a reputation for having difficult-to-read handwriting, which can make translating their documents a time-consuming task.
