CHARACTER CALCULATION
The translation valuation system is usually based
on the keystrokes found in the source text. With
text files the verification is carried out through
an agreed character counter.
A standard page includes 1500 characters (spaces,
footnotes, etc. included). A standard page counts
210 words on average.
The cost of a page translation can vary according
to the level of stylistic or lexical difficulty
due to the technical, legal, commercial, scientific
or economic content of the text. The cost of a page
usually vary from 20€ to 30€, VAT excluded.
Sometimes personalized estimates are requested.
Specific researches are needed (i.e. the reading
of particular books in the language combination
requested), in order to assure the maximum quality
of technical translations).
