Tips & Advice
How Much Does a Professional Translation Cost?
Why Do Translation Rates Vary?
As with any professional service, there is no fixed price for every translation. A simple commercial text requires a different level of expertise than a legal contract or a technical manual.
Professional translation agencies generally take the following factors into account:
- The number of words or pages
- The source and target language
- The complexity of the text
- The required delivery deadline
- Any revision or quality control requirements
- Specific requirements such as sworn translation or legalisation
For example, a translation from Dutch into English will often be less expensive than a translation into a less common language for which fewer specialised translators are available.
AI Translation with Revision: A Cost-Effective Alternative
The rise of artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the translation industry. Thanks to machine translation, large volumes of text can now be processed much faster than before. However, human review and revision of machine-translated content remain essential whenever quality matters.
The extent of the revision can be tailored to your specific needs. In some cases, a quick review is sufficient to eliminate major errors in the machine translation, while other projects require more thorough editing. Together with you, we always strive to find the right balance between quality and budget.
How Much Does a Sworn Translation Cost?
Official documents such as diplomas, certificates, contracts or court documents often require a sworn translation.
The cost of a sworn translation is generally slightly higher than that of a standard translation, as additional formalities and legal requirements apply (such as obtaining an apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
