The costs of translation depends on various factors:
- frequency of translation services for a particular language (English and Russian are mostly less costly than Belarusian or Ukrainian);
- translation type (a sworn is more expensive)
- target language (the translation into a foreign language is usually more expensive than into Polish);
- translation term (i.e. the period for translating; the normal mode is most common up to 5 pages a day, the urgent mode requires 5-12 pages a day, the express mode - more than 12 pages a day);
- translation character (translations of specialized texts is more expensive; however, determination if it is a general or a specialized text is arbitrary; in most cases it depends on the amount of phraseology and specialized terms; specialized texts include scientific articles, legal acts etc).
Due to the above differences, evaluation of translation cost is often based on its various individual characteristics. Costs differ also depending on the region and city.
Below, you can find descriptions of particular translation types:
- written translations - standard and sworn
A standard translation settlement page constitutes of 1125 characters of a document translated (including spaces); in case of translations for private persons (and e.g. not for courts), a translator is free to determine his settlement unit. A standard settlement page in case of normal translations is 1500 to 1800 characters (including spaces). A began pages are usually treated as full ones. - oral translations - standard and sworn
A cost of oral translation depends on various factors like a character of a meeting, a place of a meeting, approximate duration. They are usually settled in translation blocks covering an actual time of translator's work. The exemplary cost of the 4-hour translation block of a sworn translator: 700 PLN.
The most of larger translation offices is able to provide translators of almost every language. The most common services regard English. It is also easy task to fine a Russian translator and costs are quite similar as in case of English.
