The price of a written document translation is determined for the specific assignment. The main factors are the language pair and direction, volume, subject matter, deadline, legibility of the source and required output format. A short certificate and a multi-page specialist contract require different organisation and resources.
Volume may be measured in translation pages, words or as a fixed document, depending on the material and pricing model. A translation page is a unit of text rather than a physical sheet. For a scanned PDF, photograph or handwritten record, the preliminary assessment also considers how reliably the text can be read and extracted.
Subject complexity covers the terminology and expertise required in fields such as law, medicine, technology or finance. Tables, stamps, annotations, bilingual fields and the recreation of complex formatting also affect processing time. The language group reflects the availability of a suitably qualified linguist for the combination, while a short deadline may require priority allocation of the team.
Translation itself, independent revision, certification of the translator's signature, paper copies, apostille or legalisation, official fees and delivery are different components. They are not added automatically to every order and are included only when the document and its intended use require them. The language-service price therefore remains distinct from external administrative costs.
La Fit Trans reviews the document and presents a quotation stating the language direction, calculation basis, estimated or final volume, deadline and selected additional services. If the source is unclear or the final volume can only be established after translation, that condition is stated in advance. The client receives a clear total and a visible breakdown of the service included.
