How much would you charge for this

[Coldwaterswimmingwillbemynewhobby]

Any copywriter type people on here or anyone who knows anything about it?
A text is being translated into English, but badly..to put it into well written English, how much would you charge? Is it per number of words?

I think it depends.
Are you helping a friend or a family member with something, or are you offering a professional service?

Is it a one or two page document, or a dissertation or a novel?
Does it need technical knowledge or specifications ?

To reset an Indian restaurant menu into proper English, a free
Onion bhaji.

Beyond that, see above.

For copywriting I charge €300 for 1500 words, but that’s for a piece that requires in depth technical knowledge.

@UsingChangeofName Not a friend or family member.
A real estate website, around 6000 words total I think (just waiting for confirmation)

Base on your time, set an hourly rate 50 pounds per hour perhaps, but don't take the mickey.

I work as an editor and translator. My rate is, depending on the quality, around 4 eurocents per word, more if it's a machine translation. It also depends on whether they expect you to make sure the translation is correct or if they want you to edit it so the English is correct.

@MsAlder 4 euros per word?

No, 4 euro cents, like 4 pence.

I charged by time, £45ph.

If any copy needed SEO, then £55ph.

Wait until you have the text and know how much and how bad.
