Translation and Localization Rates

Scandinavian Translation agency in the Nordics and Baltic states Baltic Media Ltd

Rates for translation services may be applied in two ways according to:

1)      number of words; or

2)      number of standard translation pages (one standard translation page is 1800 characters with spaces or 1500 characters without spaces).

Generally, rates depend on how common the particular language is (the more uncommon the language in the respective market, the higher the rate), the complexity of the source text, for instance, fiction would require special adaptation (higher rate would apply), whether the source text is from an electronic file or as a hard copy (for the latter higher rates would apply) or whether a layout design is required (higher rate would apply).

Terms of delivery also determine the rates. Consideration should be made that on average a professional translator translates approx. 5-7 standard translation pages (1 standard translation page is 1800 characters with spaces) per day. In the event of translation being required urgently, an express service rate shall apply, which is charged in addition to the regular service rate in an amount ranging from 50% to 100%. For our regular Clients we may provide express translations without extra charge.

Translation agency in the Baltics and Scandinavia Baltic Media Ltd offers discounts for translation services in large quantities where the number of pages exceeds 50.

The prices for layout designing, text conversion and other services are set on an hourly basis and based on the number of hours required for accomplishing the particular task.

An hourly tariff is also applied for the pricing of interpreting services. Here the price also includes passive interpreting (time spent by the interpreter on the way to and from the interpreting location).

The section Request for a free quote gives you only an approximate market price.
