Translators, how much do you charge per 1000 words?

[Threadwworm]

I've been asked by a Japanese academic to revise his written English. His article is fairly competantly but very weirdly written, obviously by a non-native English speaker.

It requires quite substantial revision so I thought I would pitch my fee somewhere between my normal copy-editing rate and a translator's rate. Hence my question.

I'll be very grateful for your thoughts.

I use translators a lot in my work. I have tried many but have found Kwintessential to be terrific. Here

Hope this helps x

Zombie thread! I wonder how the op got on with her work?

Also check out the ITI. Agree with Teddimac about not under-charging - the workload for you is the same whoever you're working for. The Translators' Association current minimum recommended observed rate for literary translation, which I base my rates on, is £88.50 per 1000.

Oh yes, hadn't noticed the date. Wonder why it was in active convos?

Weird.
