Rates for translations and proofreading

In accordance with the only legal definition of the invoicing of translation services (§ 11 JVEG), we generally charge translations by the line of 55 characters in the target language.

Postage, copying costs, typing or certification fees are not charged for the production of one copy.

Prices, rates for translations

Our line rates are approx. € 1.85 to € 4.10, plus VAT. In exceptional cases, they can also be higher. The price (the line rate) depends on factors such as language pair, business area, difficulty, comprehensibility, urgency, readability of the text, technical complexity (DTP, CAT programs, TM use).

For extensive texts (more than 20 pages), difficult technical texts, literature, catalogues, publications, advertising and non-European languages, the price will be calculated upon presentation of the documents.

Our hourly rates range from € 90 (for DTP work and proofreading), or up to
€ 175 for interpreting at a wedding and for translation at the client’s premises or for notarial interpreting, depending on the order and the required qualifications.
