Translation Rates: How to get a 30% to 60% discount
Are you
looking for a translation agency that is affordable and yet delivers
high-quality content? Are you worried that many translation agencies may be
overcharging and are looking for an agency that will help you get a discounted
rate by 30% to 60%? We at Universal Translation Services sport some of the
lowest rates on the market so our rates are already discounted when compared to
other agencies providing the same level of quality.
On another hand, we have
the same flat rate no matter what
language combination you may need, while most of the other agencies don’t: they
charge different prices depending on the language. While that may seem to be
common practice in the translation industry, it shouldn’t.
Translation Between English And A Foreign Language: The translation rates become much friendlier if either the target
or the original language for your translation is English. A person is going to
get really decent rates if they have chosen English as a part of their language
pair. The English language is cheapest to translate from and into and all other
foreign languages cost more. This is because English is a commonly spoken
language that is shared by millions. The rates for translating from English into
another language or the other way around are usually cheaper by 30 to 60%.
Translation Between Two
Languages while English is not one of them:
Universal
Translation Services has seen that a person will find it harder to find a translator
who can translate between two languages while English is not involved. This
means that if you need, sat translation from French into Spanish, it will cost you
more than translating French or Spanish into English. If a client is only
needing translation from one language into English, we need to find a
translator for that specific language.
Which is not the case when you need
translation from French into Spanish, as if there is no translator to do that
specific language combination, we woukld need to use English as an intermediate
language. That is fine, and it will cost you just a bit more if you go with us,
but it will cost you a lot more if you choose another translation agency. On
another hand, if a translator knows two languages well and none of them is
English, that translator could translate directly withouth using a middle
language, but then his rates will be considerably higher and this will increase
the total cost the client needs to pay.
These
are the basic principles behind how translation rates are decided. Translation
rates are heavily dependent on the language and how expensive or inexpensive it
is in the market. We re-explaining them to you so that you will have a chance
of getting a 30% to 60 % discount on your translation without any problem or
complication.
The Rates Variation:
The
translation cost is decided based on rates per word in a certain language pair.
If English is not in your language combination, it will cost you more. You will
need to look around in all the agencies and try to come up with the most affordable
translation rate per word for the language pair that you have in mind. Looking
for a translation agency located in the country where one of your languages is
spoken is an effective way to reduce the cost of the translation, simply because
with that agency you may have higher chances of finding a translator who could
do your ranslation directly from one language into the other. They will not ask
for extra charges because it is their native language, to begin with. You need
to note though that prices would be higher in Europe when compared to United
States. Germany is well known for its higher prices for instance.
If your
language pair contains English, then we advise that you look for an international
agency as the translation will cost you less. English is a common language that
is spoken in just about any country. As a general rule, if one of the languages
you need is rated as a commonly spoken language, then the rates for your
translation will reduce considerably.
We at
Universal Translation Services are working with translators from all over the
world so we can handle just about any language. And due to the very same
reason, we have translators in our midst which can translate directly from one
language into another without using English, and it will cost you the same. So
