Base Rates


The table below shows my rates for Translation, Technical Translation and Proofreading services.

Please bear in mind that these are rates per target word provided for your reference only, as I produce estimates considering each project’s specificities.

As a general rule, estimates are produced after inspecting the source files, a requirement of paramount importance when aiming at having a good sense of the project's real workload (e.g., the terminological research effort it will require).

The rate will depend on factors such as:

  • project volume
  • statistical text redundancy
  • content nature
  • technical complexity
  • layout intricacy
  • project timeframe
Notwithstanding the foregoing, large projects or notable monthly volumes will have rate discounts.

For submitting an estimate request or requesting information regarding my Localization (Website/Software), Project Coordination, Audio Transcription, Video Editing, Voice-Over or Subtitling services please contact.
