Project overview
We are looking for a translator to translate a 186-page medical book to three languages, French, Arabic and Spanish. The total payment offered for this task on delivery of all 3 required languages sums up $9,600.. It's important to note that the cost and time required for translation can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the content, the quality of the source material, the expertise of the translator, and the language pairs involved. Regarding the time frame, translating 186 pages within seven days is a demanding task that requires a significant amount of effort and expertise. The translator will be required to translate about 2000-3000 words per day, due to the content's complexity. Assuming an average of 400 words per page, the book contains about 74,400 words in total. If we consider an average translation rate of 2500 words per day per language, it would take approximately 9-10 days for one translator to complete the task for one language. Thus, for three languages, we will need a team or company with at least three translators to complete the task within the given deadline. Regarding the cost, the translation rates vary based on the language pairs. In general, medical translations tend to be more expensive than other types of translations due to the high level of technical terminology and specialized knowledge required. Therefore we managed to compel the client to increase the budget plan, that's why the total payment to be allocated for this task reaches $9,600. A rough estimate for the cost of translating a medical book of this size could range from $0.10 to $0.25 per word, depending on the languages.
