Standard Translation @R0.75 cents per word - English and Portuguese - Cape Town

The primary factor in determining pricing is based on a computer word count system of the original 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 at Iservice Translation, the standard translation rate of R0.75 cents per computer word count of the original document (Source Language), when translating to a language (Portuguese) from English, the target word count will normally be about 20% higher than the source word count. Since we charge for the source words, you will have an accurate cost estimate at the beginning of each project, as opposed to if you were charged by target words.

The pricing for translation projects is done on a flat fee basis, such as price per page or hourly rate. However, this is not an industry standard nor is it recommended for many reasons. First, as every document is different, the number of words per page can vary significantly. Also, many Companies or individuals use different sizes of paper or fonts. As for hourly rates, each translator has his or her own pace. More experienced translators tend to translate faster, while less experienced translators take longer. For the sake of transparency and budgeting, a price per word methodology is a much more reliable and predictable way to ensure fair and accurate pricing.
