What are Transcend's rates?

The cost of each translation depends on these factors:

• Volume (word count)
• Language (common languages like Spanish or Vietnamese are much less expensive than exotic languages like Nepalese or Dinka.)
• Formatting – if you need your translation to match the English document.
• Turn-around – if you need something “yesterday,” there may be a surcharge.
• The terms of your contract with Transcend.

To know exactly what the fees would be, contact us for a quote on your specific project.
