As far as spanish texts are longer (about 25%) my client has noticed a great increase in the price of the invoice which I have assesed per word.

(for technical translations german spanish)

Thanks in advance willdlp

Hi willdlp!

I can't tell you how much to charge for your translations, but I can give you the URL for a very useful conversion tool:

http://www.amtrad.it/feewizardol.php

It should give you the information you need....

Best,

Alison

PS. 1 line is 55 Characters with spaces

... but be sure to enter your rate the English way, with ".", not with "," otherwise it would not work!
