Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Do Translation Services Cost?
Many factors influence pricing, which may vary from service to service provider. The text's complexity, the project's turnaround time, and the language pair all affect the pricing. Typically, the factors influencing pricing are:.
Source Language and the Target Language
The first factor that decides the pricing is the language pair. Common languages are English and Spanish and the availability of many translators for such languages contributes to a more affordable translation service, whereas there might be few translators for language pairs such as English and Swahili and thus it would cost more.
Apart from translation services, NAATI also covers interpreting services that hold significant value in courts, hospitals, and conferences where one cannot afford mistakes in communication. A NAATI-certified interpreter prevents misunderstandings and ensures that all parties have effective communication with each other and receive the same information.
Per-Word Pricing Versus Standard Pricing
The methods used to calculate pricing are per-word pricing or pricing depending on standard documents. Pricing by words depends on the number of words that need to be translated, while the other method refers to personal documents like marriage certificates, birth certificates, and so on. The pricing of both differs, but it all depends on the technicality/subject matter, languages, and urgency by which the document has to be delivered.
Urgency/turnaround time
If you need the document in a quick turnaround time, you need to pay a higher fee. Furthermore, the translation service you are using takes charge depending on their expertise. If they put your project on priority while keeping other projects on hold, then it will be reflected in your pricing.
Technicality/Subject matter expertise
Technical documents, or areas that include specialisation, such as legal or engineering manuals, are difficult in nature and thus require translators with specific expertise. Technical translations are also time and energy-consuming; in such cases, you can expect higher pricing.

What Are Translation Services?
Translation services are professional services that translate your documents from one language to another. Translation services are required worldwide and are even growing in importance due to globalisation and the increase in tourism. Today, translation services are contributing to bridging language barriers, communicating ideas across cultures, and helping businesses communicate with international clients and partners.
Translation services are of vital importance for legal and medical documents, technical manuals, and marketing materials. For businesses looking to expand internationally, hiring professional translation services can prove to be immensely helpful. They can result in increased revenue, better customer experience, better SEO results, and improved cultural sensitivity.
Translation services leverage different types of technological tools, such as translation memory, combined with human effort to provide accurate and reliable translation services. They employ different translators that are well versed in different types of translation, depending on their experience. They meet the most stringent requirements of various industries.
Translation services must be accurate, as even the smallest of mistakes can result in misunderstandings and hinder effective communication. For instance, there is no room for minor mistakes in clinical translation as they include patient safety, regulatory compliance, and maintaining trust and credibility among patients and healthcare providers. Translation services employ translators worldwide who are native speakers of the target language to ensure accurate translations are performed while keeping in mind the cultural nuances of that place.
With translation services, the key advantage you have is industry expertise. Translation service providers have deep expertise of how cultural nuances and other factors affect translation, allowing them to provide translation services that cater to the needs of the target audience. This helps the translators maintain a consistent style and tone across multiple languages but ensures fair translation practices.
Choosing professional translation services for your projects ensures that your translation is accurate but also within the given timeframe. By partnering with language translation services, businesses can overcome language barriers and achieve accurate and precise translations that resonate with their target audience.
How Much Does A Translator Cost In Australia?
On average, you can expect to pay between AUD 0.15 and AUD 0.30 per word for standard translation services. For more specialised or technical translation fields, such as legal, medical, or technical translations, you can expect a price ranging from AUD 0.25 to AUD 0.50 per word.
Translation in Australia depends on several factors, such as:
Rate of document translation per page
In Australia, you can calculate the overall cost of the document via the number of pages you want to get translated. Translation rates can differ between various agencies.
Type of service
Sometimes the cost for a particular translation service is high. This is due to the type of translation service you are requesting. For instance, if you require NAATI translation services, you can encounter high costs. NAATI stands for the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters in Australia. It's a formally recognised government body that is responsible for accrediting translators and interpreters working in Australia. NAATI translation services are essential for legal documents such as birth certificates or educational documents such as academic transcripts.
Subject matter expertise
Translation prices also depend on the subject matter expertise of the translator. The number of pages or the type of document are also not accounted for as the subject matter experience is unique. It might be possible that only a few translators might have expertise in that field, hence the cost would be relatively high.
Type of document
Pricing in Australia depends on the type of document you want to get translated. For instance, if you want a simple letter to be translated, it will cost much less compared to the translation of legal documents such as contracts, wills, or court transcripts, which requires specialised knowledge of legal terminology and formats that increase the translation cost. Furthermore, birth and marriage certificates in Australia need to be translated by a NAATI translator that assures accuracy in the translation along with providing a NAATI stamp and signature.
What Is The Difference Between Translation And Interpreter Services?
Translation and interpretation are crucial services that differ from each other on the basis of format, delivery, accuracy, direction, and various language nuances. Here’s how translation differs from interpretation services:
Translation is a laborious task that is done on the written content where they start with a source language (for instance, Spanish) and translate into their target language (for instance, English). With technological advancement, most translators blend the use of computer-aided tools with their own translation skills to finish the project quickly and with utmost accuracy. Most of the translators specialise in one or more specific fields, such as medical, legal, marketing, and so on. As translators translate each section of the text, they often refer to glossaries and translation style guides to ensure quality in their work. Once the work is completed, they forward the work to another translator to proofread and finalise the document and match the work to the original one as much as possible.
Interpreter services work with spoken words. Interpreter services take place then and there when the speaker is speaking and the interpreter repeats what is said in the other language. Interpreters work using two models of interpreting, which are consecutive or simultaneous depending on the situation. Consecutive interpreting involves listening to these people and repeating what is said in the target language of the audience after the speaker stops talking. During the listening phase, interpreters take notes with shorthand (a symbol-based written language), which they use to remember everything spoken by the speaker. While simultaneous interpreting services are listening to the speaker and simultaneously repeating the speech in the target language only with a slight delay. Simultaneous interpreters use audio equipment or a whispering technique called chuchotage to communicate with their listeners.
