The following rates are for word-processed translations. They are based on the number of words in the English or foreign language source text. Each rate is subject to a minimum charge per language per invoice. For example, translating 500 words of Russian into English would cost US$30. If, however, there are only 100 words, the minimum charge of US$20 would apply. We count, by scanning or manually, all words that have to be keyed and define a word as one or more letters or figures between spaces.

We may decline to translate a text or charge more if a text is handwritten or has poor legibility.
