Translation Rates
(TURKISH to ENGLISH)

I invite you to send me a copy of the text to be translated. I will then examine the text and quote a price and deadline. The choice is then yours. I can usually respond within one hour during European office hours.

If you wish to send work on a regular basis we can agree a standard rate.

THE FOLLOWING PROVIDES A GUIDE TO MY PRICING POLICY BUT FACTORS SUCH AS REPETITION AND LEGIBILTY WILL AFFECT THE PRICE:

Set prices are available for certain standard forms and certificates.

I reserve the right to make variations where I feel this to be justified.

Translation rates are based on the length of the text to be translated, and vary according to the type of text:

    GROUP A
    Private letters and emails

    GROUP B
    Survey responses

    GROUP C
    All other document types not specifically mentioned

    GROUP D
    Statutes, rules and regulations; Legal textbooks and articles; Insurance policies; Court and arbitral decisions

    GROUP E
    Applies to poorly legible documents falling within group D

    THE RATE FOR POORLY LEGIBLE DOCUMENTS IS THAT FOR THE NEXT HIGHEST GROUP
    There may be a higher surcharge for extremely illegible documents
You may choose one of four measures of length:
    prices in euro

    source word
    per word of the source text (the text to be translated):
    price in cents per word
    A 10      B 11      C 12      D 12½      E 13

    target word
    per word of the target text (the translated text):
    price in cents per word
    A 6½      B 7      C 7½      D 8      E 8½

    source line
    per 55 characters (with spaces) of the source text (the text to be translated):
    price in cents per line
    A 68      B 74      C 80      D 86      E 92

    target line
    per 55 characters (with spaces) of the target text (the translated text):
    price in cents per line
    A 58      B 63      C 68      D 73      E 78

MINIMUM CHARGE A minimum charge of €18.00 applies to each total order. A special minimum charge of €6.00 applies when immediate cash settlement is made on collection (advance payment with remote orders), incorporating the 10% discount mentioned below.

VAT Pursuant to European Union Regulations I am required to apply VAT at the rate of 19% when invoicing clients from Cyprus, or from other European Union member states unless they are taxable persons in the meaning of Article 196 of directive 2006/12/EC and can provide a VAT number. VAT does not apply in other cases.

The above schedule of charges does not in itself constitute a guarantee to undertake any particular translation at any particular time. Prices stated are in EUR; please inquire for quotes in other currencies.

These rates are for invoicing on 30-day payment terms to established commercial clients with a proven credit record. A TEN PERCENT DISCOUNT APPLIES TO IMMEDIATE CASH SETTLEMENT ON COLLECTION/ADVANCE PAYMENT WITH REMOTE ORDERS.

I have British and Eurozone bank accounts, so can easily receive payments from most parts of Europe.
