In the U.S., translation services are customarily charged per translated word. All per-word rates include the translation itself, editing, and quality assurance procedures through internal review. The per-word rate is based on the source language, unless another arrangement is made. (If the source document is not available in electronic form, the target language word count is used instead.) For other services such as consulting, desktop publishing, etc., hourly rates apply.

Like in any business in a free market, what you charge is negotiated between you and your client. Just for your information, translations are usually charged by the number of words in the target language (occasionally in the source language); in Europe, translations are charged by the number of lines in the target language. Translations are almost never charged by the page. Interpretations are charged by the hour or by the day, if the job is for a whole day or is located out of town. See similar questions...

Parts are quoted based on the number and complexity of the features that comprise the part. Assemblies are quoted based on the number of parts in the assembly and the average complexity of the parts as defined above. Pricing and delivery is determined by analyzing the files and preparing a specific quotation of price and expected lead-time. See similar questions...

Translation is not a precise art and when translators choose one word to translate another they are influenced, often without being consciously aware of it, by the time and culture in which they live. The Digital Shikshapatri site contains one default translation of the Shikshapatri to introduce the visitor to the text. See similar questions...

God is in charge. That's why prayer is essential to forming a ministry team. Yet God works through our human hands and the gifts we have been given. The Vestry continues with it's usual responsibilities and the Team, with the guidance of the Pastoral Mentor, makes most of the decisions normally made by a rector. Individual team members are in charge of particular areas, for which they have been trained. See similar questions...

Yes, you. That includes anyone who: works at a gas station, does massage, walks dogs for others, waits tables, drives a bus, does nursing, inputs data into a computer, does phone sales, fights fires, DJs at parties - you name it. Why does anyone charge for anything? Money is the oil which lubes society's gears, occurrences, exchanges of goods and services, etc. I can't eat goodwill, nor can you work your workweek on a volunteer basis. See similar questions...

Translation normally refers to written materials, i.e, going from one written medium to another. Interpretation is spontaneous oral translation, from spoken word to spoken word. Sometimes the term translation is used to mean either one. There are hybrid situations: when you read a text in one language while reciting it aloud in another, you are said to be sight-translating. Court interpreters often sight-translate legal documents like plea agreements. See similar questions...

A translation shouldn't sound like it was translated from another language. When I am translating, I ask myself how the original writer would have expressed his ideas if he had been reared and educated in an English/Japanese-speaking country. See similar questions...
