Translation Rates

Language offers translation rates that are cost-effective for human translation services. We do not provide "Computer Translation" services, as we figure why someone would pay for such services when they are available free on the internet.
Language Marketplace is constantly striving to provide you with the highest quality translations at the most competitive pricing in the industry. We have streamlined our operations to eliminate the fees added by many other translation companies, including project management and overhead fees. Providing you with simple and competitive pricing paired with the highest quality in the marketplace is a key element to our mission.
Our pricing for translation projects is determined by several factors:

• Number of source words
• Language combination

It is rather simple. We do not have several varying degrees of translation expertise -we only provide industry top quality work.

Included in Our Translation Rate

Unlike many other translation companies, all of our translation rates include:

• Use of one or several native, educated and experienced translators
• Use of a second translator to proofread each file
• Use of an industry specialist as Content manager or proofreader
• Formatting back to the source text when possible
• Project management and file management
• Account Management
• All administration

Translation Cost

The rates charged for translations are agreed on at the beginning of a specified project. Depending on the client's needs, the same rates can apply across many different projects. Should the scope of a project change, we will work with you to agree on new pricing rates that are more appropriate for the new project or scope. When you request a free, no-obligation quote, we will provide you with a detailed pricing quote broken down by document and language pair.

Translation Price per Source Word

The primary factor in determining pricing is the number of source words in the document. A source language refers to the document's original language and the target language refers to the language into which the document will be translated. As a general rule and common industry standard, when translating to a Romance language (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc.) from English, the target word count will normally be about 20% higher than the source word count. Since we charge for the source words in these languages, you will have an accurate cost estimate at the beginning of each project, as opposed to if you were charged by target words.

Translation Rush Rates

A translation project that needs to be delivered in a shorter time frame does not have an additional charge as many other companies do. We have a proven streamlined process that we know meets the demands of some of the industry's most demanding customers. We have a certified process for Translation Services -it works!

Desktop Publishing Fees

The rates for desktop publishing service projects are handled differently and are based on the number of target pages. We have an in-house specialist that handles these requests on a full-time basis. The ability to efficiently substitute language texts using the various formats something we do for many of our customers. Proofreading of final products before going to "Printing Layouts" or "Live on the Web" is included in our translation prices.

Billing

Language Marketplace normally requires partial payment upfront and the remaining upon delivery of the final product. For clients with proven good credit or that have a good payment history, we can bill in arrears on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding the above, Language Marketplace will work with your company on a case-by-case basis to accommodate your billing needs.
