TalentHubTH Brief: Use this guidance together with the actual role, industry, location and business context.
What determines translation pricing
Providers normally consider word count, language pair, subject difficulty, file format, layout work, deadline and review level.
- General: everyday documents and internal communication
- Business: HR, sales, reports and presentations
- Technical: factories, engineering, legal content and specialist terminology
Per page or per word?
Per-page pricing suits files with similar layouts and text volume. Word-based pricing is usually more accurate for long or text-heavy documents. The quotation should state how a page is defined.
Checklist before requesting a quotation
Send a readable source file and state the source language, target language, purpose, audience, deadline and required output format.
- Editable Word, PowerPoint or source files reduce layout work
- State whether translation-only or review is required
- Mark sections that do not need translation
- Allow time to verify names, numbers and specialist terms
