Every project is different and I'm afraid there is no such thing as a "one-fits-all" translation rate. There are literally dozens of factors that affect translation rates: the complexity of your source text, file format (hand-written and non-editable electronic documents tend to be much more expensive), how fast you want it back, your budget expectations, etc. Please, contact me and I'll be happy to give you an exact quote.

Gill also worked for some years in Germany as a freelance business/language skills trainer. Since 2007, Gill has concentrated on translation and editing projects, and has worked in a wide range of fields, carrying out projects for publishers, journalists and corporate customers. Neil has extensive business experience at Senior Management and Director level, working for major retail companies in the UK and Kuwait. He is also a qualified nutrition consultant, running a successful private practice in the UK for many years. More recently, Neil has been living in Germany and working freelance as a management consultant and business/language skills trainer.

His practical experience in the areas of nutrition and business allow him to particularly specialise in these areas.
