How much do specialized translations cost?
The basis for price calculation for specialized translations is the Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act (JVEG). The cost of translations is charged according to the volume of the text to be translated. For translations into languages which do not use the Latin alphabet (e.g., Arabic, Russian, Chinese…), the character count in the source language applies. A standard line (SL) consists of 55 characters (including spaces). Commenced lines are accounted for as whole lines. We also offer bulk discounts for larger amounts of text.
