Word Count
The quantity of text is a fundamental factor influencing the price. The number of words, characters with spaces, or Chinese characters serves as the basic units for quickly estimating the cost of a translation to or from Chinese.
Text Complexity
Specialized translations require industry knowledge and familiarity with its specifics, meticulous examination of vocabulary, and terminology.
Quality and Type of Source File
The form in which the text reaches the translator is also significant; illegible text or handwritten content requires considerably more effort than editable text. The presence of complex tables and the need to preserve their original format also impact the final price and completion time of Chinese translations.
Additional Services
Services such as game testing or proofreading by a native speaker are priced individually. Using these services will likely extend the order completion period. When it comes to game testing, one must consider a buffer time to resolve any potential technical issues.
Translation Agency Contacted
Most translation agencies subcontract translation work, so the price proposed by the translator should include the agency's margin, which can constitute a significant percentage of the final price. Chinese Localization is a family-owned business - we work on the entrusted texts ourselves, ensuring cost savings while maintaining high-quality translated texts.
