I do written translation myself, without a quick machine draft. Terminology is agreed before the work starts and the finished text keeps the original formatting.
Texts I work with
- Business and law: contracts, articles of association, powers of attorney, proposals, business correspondence.
- Technical: instructions, operating manuals, specifications, test reports.
- Science and education: papers, abstracts, curricula, diplomas and transcripts.
- Culture and media: scripts, subtitles, exhibition catalogues, press releases, website copy.
How the volume is counted
One translation page is 1,800 characters with spaces in the finished translation. I count the volume in advance and quote a final figure that does not grow as the work goes on. Repeated fragments in large documents are counted at a discount.
Turnaround
The usual pace is 8–10 pages per working day. Short documents of up to 3 pages are most often ready the same day. I take rush jobs with a 50% surcharge, but only when I am sure quality will not suffer.
