Pricing
The pricing for translation projects can be done on a flat fee basis, such as price per page or hourly rate. However, this is not an industry standard nor is it recommended for many reasons. First, as every document is different, the number of words per page can vary significantly. Also, many countries use different sizes of paper. As for hourly rates, each translator has his or her own pace. More experienced translators translate faster while less experienced translators take longer.
A price per word methodology is a much more reliable and predictable way to ensure fair and accurate pricing.
Translation Price per Source Words
The primary factor in determining pricing is the number of source words in the document to be translated. As a general rule, when translating to French from English, the target word count will normally be about 20% higher than the source word count.
Since Bunkumless.com charges for the source words, you will have an accurate cost estimate at the beginning of each project, as opposed to if you were charged by target words.
Translation Rate per Complexity of the Source
Translation pricing per source words also depends on the level of complexity of each proposed document. A general business text that contains no technical terms letter will be priced lower than a technical patent document, a medical text, a complex legal contract, pharmaceuticals related document or software manual.
A general document or text will always be priced at the lowest possible price per word while complex legal documents and highly technical texts will be at a higher price according to their complexity.
Turnaround Time and Rates
Another key component to pricing is related to delivery time requirements. The turnaround is one of the first elements discussed prior to quoting your project. Perfect planning and, more importantly, enough time to line up resources let Bunkumless.com deliver high volume outputs at the most competitive rates in the market. A translation project that needs to be delivered in a shorter time frame may carry up to a 50% charge above our regular rates.

The need being, Bunkumless.com we will also deliver projects on a rolling basis with the most important documents being delivered first.

If you had a translation performed by another company or person and you are not satisfied or unsure of the quality of the translation, Bunkumless.com can provide you with an editing and proofreading rate that is lower than the one for full translation.
Normally, the cost to edit and proofread is 50% less than fully translating the text.
Desktop Publishing Fees
The rates for desktop publishing service projects are handled differently and are based on the number of target pages. Again, this is an industry standard and the most efficient way to ensure a clear and predictable bid.
Website Localization Pricing
The rates for website localization projects requiring coding can be determined by target pages. However, this can make the project more expensive for the client because many pages are generated automatically from a database.
In these cases, it is better to charge the development work on an hourly basis.
