Note: Express fees or minimum charges may be waived or renegotiated for contracted ongoing work or retained services or large projects employing multiple translators for extended periods of time.
Note: For pharma translation, express fees apply based on half the text count shown in the above table. For example, where the table says 2,001 – 4,000 words, this should be thought of as 1,001 – 2,000 words. This is because with pharma translation the working speed of translators is generally half that of other work types.
TBSJ applies the above rates in almost all cases. In certain situations, higher or lower rates may apply.
Pricing in British pound and US dollar is revised occasionally based on exchange rate fluctuations against the yen. TBSJ tends to do these revisions once or twice a year, with minimum adjustment.
For long, technical manuals whose content is not complicated, the rate applied may be lower than shown. Technical manuals that contain repetitive text may bring further cost reductions.
TBSJ applies a fee range to marketing material due to the diversity of requests. Higher rates apply if marketing copy must be crafted creatively while maintaining the nuances of the original text. Lower rates apply for collateral like brochures, which features mostly general product descriptions and specifications.
Our express service is not available for marketing material. In general, the time taken for this sector is at least 50% longer than for other types of translation.
