If translations have to be signed by a sworn translator, there is a surcharge of € 0.05 per word. The cost price is charged for authentication costs.

We charge a minimum fee of € 60 per language for each assignment, for a sworn translation this is € 75 per language.

We can also correct already translated texts for you. We charge € 60 an hour for correction work. In that case the text is reviewed by a translator who is qualified in the language of the document.

The number of words charged is never less than the number of words of the source text..

A different fee can be charged for special or deviating texts, for example if the degree of difficulty of the text is significantly higher than average. This fee is always discussed and agreed with the client in advance, before the assignment is accepted.

Urgent translations

Sometimes texts have to be translated very urgently. That happens quite frequently and TRANSLATIONS offers this service regularly.

Because each urgent translation is different and has different deadlines, one of our account managers will consult you about your wishes. For the most part there is a surcharge on urgent translations of some 25%.

Urgent translations are discussed with the client in advance before the assignment is accepted. During this consultation we make transparent arrangements about the delivery time.
