Lioness' rates

Time to do the sums...

Rates vary depending on:

• the volume of text (reductions can sometimes be agreed for large volumes)

• the technicality of the subject matter

• the degree of repetition in the text

• whether files need to be recreated from scratch (e.g. a pdf source file that does not convert cleanly)

Lioness Translation’s rates are as follows*:

​

TRANSLATION (FR to EN): £0.07 to £0.09 GBP per word.

REREADING (translated EN against original FR): £0.018 to £0.02 GBP per word.

PROOFREADING (EN only): £0.015 GBP per word if a native Anglophone has written the text. £0.018 GBP per word otherwise.

TRANSCRIPTION: £15 GBP per hour of my time (roughly £3.50 GBP per audio minute). VARIABLE, e.g. if the recording is unclear and/or several people are talking at once.

OTHER SERVICES: case-dependent – feel free to get in touch.

​

There is a minimum fee of £20 GBP for any translation - see "About quotes" page
