The rate for translation is EUR 20/page or EUR 0.08/word with discounts possible under certain conditions. Text volume is calculated based on original text length. Dependent upon the text characteristics the maximum daily workload is 10 pages.

Jobs should be in the form of a text programme (Word, Open Text etc.). Completing tasks in other formats (table programmes such as Excel, presentations such as PowerPoint) may incur an additional charge for design. Other formats cause discomfort to the parties as text volume is not immediately evident.

I as of today execute most of the work using one of the most widespread computer assisted translation programmes – Trados Freelance. The use of the programme increases accuracy and speed. The programme accepts files in many formats, but the conversion back into a deliverable file is best ensured with word processing formats.

Copywriter texts are translated at the rate of EUR 25/hour. Time involved is not based so much on text length as text creativity.

Invoice minimum is 100 words or 1 hour.

Introduction
Please let me assist you should you require translation from Estonian or German into English. Having been born in Canada in an Estonian family I consider both Estonian and English as native languages. Having lived for six years in Germany, makes me sufficiently familiar with German language and culture. Such a background enables creating translations that emotionally match the original text.
