Rates

Translation rates depend on many factors: the languages involved, the number of words, the type of document…

I have some standard rates for simple translation and website localization, but if the document is very technical, the deadline very tight, or if additional services are required (SEO, UX/UI, etc.) the rates will vary. Moreover, I apply special offers and discounts, especially for long term collaborations and high-volume projects.

So, when getting in touch for a quote, please remember to include the following information:

  • text type: is it a technical translation? A website localization project? A novel?
  • text format: is it a PDF? A word document? A photo or screenshot?
  • number of words in the source document (even an approximate number would work)
  • other services required: do you need to add SEO? More language combinations?
  • deadline: when do you need the translation to be delivered?
  • payment method and delay: do you pay by bank transfer? Do you pay on delivery or after 5, 10, 30 days?
  • a sample: if you can send me a small extract of the text, it would help me give you a quote quicker (and in a more accurate way)

Why you should choose a freelance translator over a translation agency

So, you need to translate your content into Italian. There are so many agencies out there, offering the same services. Or maybe not.

Many translation agencies don’t really specialize in a particular industry. They accept all kind of projects and assign them to random translators in their database.

When you choose a freelance, independent translator you have many advantages:

  1. You have a more direct and personal approach: you speak with the person who will translate everything
  2. You know who’s taking care of your content: you can check their resume, website, and portfolio
  3. You know if the translator really specializes in your industry and understands your comapany
  4. Rates are usually lower: agencies pay the translator and also keep a percentage for themselves
  5. The process is quicker: no middle-person, no time wasted

So, you should definitely choose a freelancer rather than a translation agency. And if you work in the Outdoor Sports, Sustainability, or Yoga industry, and you need top-notch translations to conquer the Italian market, you are in the right place!
