Urgent Translation Orders- How Delivery Timeline Effects Rates
Translation rates are complicated as translation companies struggle with explaining rates. On the ‘rates’ page of the translation services website is usually written ‘our rate starts from $0.1 per word’ and that is confusing to the customers. That is why the customers are encouraged by the translation service providers to get a quote and all quotes are given free of cost. Because every translation cost has to be estimated based on Number of pages Number of words The complexity of Content Rates of the translator in target language All of the above stated factors are hard for Universal Translation Services to foresee, but there is one factor that is available for us to discuss and ponder with you even though we still cannot promise definite rates. The urgency of your needs become a factor in the rates and even the countries your translation services are native to will play a role in deciding the rates for translations desired.
In the United States of America, the urgency of your requirement in translation services plays a vital role in deciding your rates. Companies increase their rates from 20% to 50% in case of urgency. Conversational Spanish Now asks for twenty percent higher rates in case of an urgent order. ALS Global asks for twenty percent extra charges as well when an urgent order is placed. AOL Translational Services also asks for ten percent raise in pay when taking urgent orders. KEYLINGO asks for a twenty five percent increase in price rates for urgent orders. Translation Services USA asks for a fifty percent increase in rates in case of urgent orders. The Translation Company asks for a fifty percent increase in rates when the order is to be delivered in the next 36 hours. ACCULING also asks for a fifty percent increase in rates. Language Speak has a thirty percent increase in rates for urgent orders and have a seven day turn around. VANAN Services have a thirty two dollar transaction fee for a seven day delivery. INTUIT has a $0.13 extra charge for a one to three day delivery. Interprenet has a twenty five percent increase in rates for a rushed delivery.
Translation Aces have a twenty percent increased rate of rushed delivery. In the opinion of Universal Translation Services, all of these agencies are right in requesting these rush rates as it is not easy to find a translator who will translate their content on an urgent basis, as translation is a hard business to begin with. But there are many more companies with no extra charges for urgent rates. Content Complexity: Universal translation Services believes that translating content has many more factors as stated above. The complexity of content, for instance, is a very defining factor in how much your translation need is going to cost. So for example, specialized content, such as medical files, legal files and financial files will automatically come with their own increase in charges. Also, in cases of complex content to be translated, there is a chance that translation service will not consider an urgent order, simply because it takes time to translate complex and sensitive content. Vetting: In order to ensure that this sensitive content that you have entrusted with us does not get misinterpreted, many translational service providers have proof readers who will also go through the translation and make sure that all the work is in order and is not treated unfairly. This process also takes time as the proofreader has to go through original content and then see if the translation matches up. We, at Universal Translation Services, hope our discussion has helped you in deciding the timeliness of your translation order.
