Costs for translations per page - price overview

Price factors for translations

The cost of a translation depends on several aspects. The most common are:

• The language combination: Common language pairs such as German-English are cheaper, while rare combinations such as German-Japanese are significantly more expensive.
• The length of the text: The more words, lines or pages, the higher the total cost.
• The degree of difficulty: Specialist texts with legal, technical, pharmaceutical or medical content require specialised knowledge and are therefore more expensive.
• The delivery time: Express surcharges range from 25 to 50 per cent, depending on urgency.
• The level of quality: Revisions, certifications or additional proofreading increase the price.

These factors often work together. For example, a certified specialised translation in a rare language with a tight time frame can easily cost many times more than a standard translation.
