We charge per source word. The advantage is the clear final price of the order, the easy way to calculate, the fairness to pay as much as you have prepared for the translation.
We will apply counting by words to the paper copies you send us, but of the target text.
The exceptions where we use the standard page as a charge basis are the certified and legalized translations.
The same price list applies to all translations, regardless of the subject or complexity of the text. We do not have a surcharge for specialized translations.
