| I am getting started as a translator and I do not know about fees. I got my degree as a scientific-literary translator in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I know that the range is between $ 0,04 and $0,18 but I require more detailed information taking into account my qualifications and studies. I look forward to your reply. Julieta Riccio.

| Hi, I'm also getting started as a freelance translator. I'm fluent in Spanish, and fairly fluent in French and know some German and Japanese. I would like to get some work going so that I can make a few dollars. I think I would charge anywhere from .04 to .18 per word. Isn't that a standard rate? I have studied abroad at the University of Valencia, Spain. Also, I am a hard worker. I wish to be able to get some odd jobs translating to supplement my income as a tutor, teacher, and paraprofessional. What is the going rate per word for translation of a document? Also, If I'm being paid by the document I would like to know the rate ahead of time. Surprises are not too good to me. I like certainty (but I'm flexible) Thanks, Sean Hunter

| Hi, As you have doubts about the fees, I went over translators.base page and the standard rate ranges between $0,07 and $0,09 for a translation from English into Spanish. I hope you find this information useful. Julieta.

Agency - minimum 70 EURO Cents a line (55 hits) (average 80, rush jobs 1 EUR.
Private - direct clients .80 to 1.20 EURO cents per line (more of course if ever possible)
(c. 10 to 14 cents a word, absolute minimum .08)
(technical translations using trados etc often a lot less)

| Hi everyone, I am also looking into setting myself up as a freelancer, based in the UK. Can anyone tell me if I need to get a VAT number before I can invoive? As I haven't got much experience yet I wonder if it would be best to work for an agency first - would they be handling things like invoicing and annual tax return? Also, do you need to get a translation software? If so, is Trados the best? Everything seems rather daunting when you are trying to make a start without knowing anyone who's been through it before... I'd really appreciate any hints and tips! Karolin
