Let’s Break It Down! How Do We Calculate Translation Costs?

We calculate your translation cost based on three key factors:

Word Count

The longer the document (i.e. more words), the higher the cost.

Language Pairing

Common language pairs like English to French are generally more affordable than the rare, bespoke combinations.

Subject Matter

Technical documents like medical records or legal paperwork may require specialised expertise, which can affect the cost.
