The price for translation is determined by the number of words of the original text and the text type. The language combination and delivery deadline are equally important factors in determining the price. Use our Price Calculator to calculate the price of your translation.
You have probably wondered more than once why translations of some languages are usually more expensive than others. The answer is that there are some languages that are generally more common than others. With most language combinations there is no difficulty in carrying out a translation because there are many translators available. However, for less common languages there are fewer translators and therefore there is less competition, and when this occurs, we all know what the consequences are. In other words, these translations are much more expensive than others.
You can determine the number of words of your documents by using the function "Word Count" in Microsoft Word (You will find the number of words in the status bar or in the menu "Tools" under "Word Count"). You can also send us an e-mail along with the text to be translated to info@cosmolingo.com.
We estimate approximately 350 words per page.
A variety of factors determine the delivery time frame of a translation, including the language combination, word count, delivery format, and of course, the complexity of the text. As a general rule, our translators are able to translate about 1500 to 2000 words per day. Additional time is required for revision and administrative work (e.g., 4000 words in 3 days, 6000 words in 4 days, etc.)
We can assign several translators to one translation project. By doing so, we are able to translate a greater volume of text in a short period of time, while still preserving terminology and meaning.
We provide expedited translation services with same-day delivery, or delivery within 24 hours. Request an Online Quote or contact us directly, and we will quickly respond with information about our availability, based on the size and complexity of the text to be translated.
