Translations into French

Prices and deadlines

Does your company’s every written communication have the same value? An e-mail, a media release, a brochure … are they prepared with the same degree of productivity? Unlike what intermediaries (agencies) would have you believe, it is not possible to propose a single price for all types of translations.

The time required for research, reflection and analysis varies greatly, entailing inevitable deadlines and costs. Unrealistic inexpensive prices and deadlines point to work done by questionable translation software rather than skilled professional translators.

The following diagram shows the influence the type of text and client requirements has on cost and deadlines.

In all events, regardless of the demanding nature of your documents, we can also apply an hourly rate which does not exceed 90 €/hour.
