In order to make a quote for a translation, a series of factors, such as type of text, length and deadline are to be taken into account.

In general terms, a first fundamental parameter for establishing the price rate is text length. For example, in a Word document, a translation page is usually equal to 1,500 characters, spaces included.

The estimate is usually performed on the translated text, except for Oriental languages, for which the calculation is made on the western text.
