FAQ about translation pricing

Which languages do you mainly translate into?

Our main translation languages are Russian, English, Finnish, German, Swedish, Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, French, Spanish, Italian, and Norwegian. We provide translations from the source language into Estonian and English as well as from Estonian and English into the target language.

For other languages (Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Czech, Slovak, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Georgian, Dutch, Slovenian, etc.) or other language pairs (e.g. English-Danish, French-Russian, Spanish-English, etc.), please ask for a quote.

What shapes the price of written translation?

Written translation includes the translation of the text and, if necessary and depending on the purpose and use of the text, the editing or proofreading of the translated text and the delivery review. The price of written translation depends on its volume. In the case of written translation, the volume is calculated on the basis of the translation text, i.e. per standard page in the target language.

In Europe, a common standard page is 1,800 characters including spaces, i.e. 30 lines, 60 characters per line.

If the text is on a computer, the volume of the text can be easily determined in Microsoft Word by opening Tools > Word Count > Characters (with spaces) and dividing this number by 1,800. If the text is in the Google Docs word processor, both the number of words and the number of characters can be checked in a similar way: Tools > Word Count.

If the text requires additional layout or design services, this should be agreed in advance. This will be added to the final price. The price for layout and design is shown per one A4 page.

Interpreting

Interpreting is the process of conveying a message orally in another language as reliably, naturally, and smoothly as possible, while imitating the speaker’s delivery, tone, and persuasiveness. There are three different types:

1. simultaneous interpreting – an interpreter, seated in a special booth, listens to the presentation through headphones and translates it into a microphone simultaneously with the speaker.
2. whispered interpreting – one of the forms of simultaneous interpreting. The interpreter stands next to the listener and translates the presentation to the listener in a low whisper.
3. simultaneous interpreting – the interpreter and the speaker take turns to speak to the audience. When more than two languages are involved, this technique is rarely used due to time constraints.

Do you also offer interpreting services?

Yes, Filoloog also offers interpreting services starting from €60 (excluding VAT) per hour. Interpreting is quoted per 60 minutes. Interpreting is the oral transmission of a message in another language as accurately, naturally, and smoothly as possible.

Do you offer notarised translation?

There is no longer a notarised translation service in Estonia. Starting from 2020, this task was entrusted to sworn translators, the only ones in the country with the competence to provide official translations. A sworn translator is required to certify the accuracy of the translated text.
In order to become a sworn translator, it is necessary to pass the sworn translator’s examination administered by the Ministry of Justice. However, notaries still have the right to apostille documents, should this be necessary.

Sworn translation is not included in the standard price list. The price of a translation depends on a number of factors. Contact us and we will make you an offer based on your document and language pair. Ask for a quote.

Why choose a translation agency?

To ensure high-quality translations, it is recommended that you choose an experienced translation agency or translator who can provide accurate and context-sensitive translations. Preferring a translation agency ensures that the translation service is provided by professionals with the necessary knowledge and experience in different fields. Filoloog has a team of professionals who are able to provide high-quality translations of both complex specialist texts and everyday documents. In addition, we also offer editing and proofreading services to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the final result.

Although machine translation has evolved considerably in recent years, it is still no substitute for a professional translator. A human translator understands the nuances of the text, the cultural specificities, and the context, which a machine is unable to do. This is particularly important in the case of official documents, contracts, and specialised texts, where even the slightest inaccuracy can make a significant difference. A professional translator is able to preserve the style of the text, localize the translation, adapt it to the target culture, and ensure that the message reaches the reader exactly as it was intended.
