Translation Prices – Affordable, Certified, and Professional Translation Services
At GLS (Global Language Solution), we believe that high-quality human translation should be transparent, fairly priced, and tailored to each client’s needs. Whether you need a legal document, technical manual, medical report, or a general-purpose translation, we offer competitive rates with clear explanations and no hidden fees. Every project is handled by qualified, native-speaking translators who understand both the language and the subject matter.
What Determines Translation Pricing
Several factors influence the price of a translation. The first is the language pair — translating between widely used languages such as English and Spanish or English and French is usually more affordable than less common pairs like English and Japanese.
The complexity of the subject matter also affects the cost. Technical, legal, scientific, and financial documents require translators with specialised knowledge, which naturally comes at a higher rate.
Urgency plays a role too: while standard turnaround is economical, same-day or weekend translations incur an express fee.
The word count and document volume determine eligibility for bulk discounts — larger projects often qualify for lower per-word rates. Finally, if the document requires special formatting, layout adjustments, or desktop publishing (DTP), there may be an additional fee for design and alignment work.
Standard Translation Rates
Our standard translation rates are based on quality level and service scope.
A Basic Translation is ideal for personal use or internal company documents and starts from around $0.07 per word. This includes human translation and a light review for clarity.
A Professional Translation — recommended for business, academic, and publication purposes — starts from $0.09 per word and includes proofreading and editing by a second linguist.
For official or highly technical content, we offer Expert or Certified Translation, starting from $0.12 per word, performed by certified translators with expertise in your document’s field.
These are guideline prices. The final cost depends on the document type, length, and turnaround time, but all quotes are confirmed before work begins to ensure full transparency.
Pricing by Language Pair
Our rates vary depending on the languages involved. Translations from English into Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese usually range between $0.03 and $0.06 per word.
Languages that require greater linguistic expertise, such as German, Dutch, or the Scandinavian languages, may range between $0.05 and $0.07 per word.
For less common combinations, such as English to Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese, the rates may be slightly higher due to the specialist skills required.
Regardless of the language pair, every translation is carried out by a native-speaking professional translator to ensure fluency, accuracy, and consistency.
Typical Document Categories and Cost Range
Every document type has its own level of difficulty and required accuracy.
For personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, or academic transcripts, we provide fast, certified translations at affordable prices suitable for official submission.
For business and technical materials, such as user manuals, contracts, and product specifications, the rate may be higher to reflect the technical vocabulary and formatting needs.
Highly specialised scientific, medical, or engineering documents are priced individually, depending on complexity and terminology.
We also provide bulk discounts for large orders, long-term contracts, or translation of document collections.

I’m incredibly happy with Global Language Solution. They respond quickly to enquiries, offer affordable rates, and provide a truly personalised service. I really appreciate how they take the time to check that all the information I provide is accurate before finalising the translation, even verifying details like the correct spelling of names in English.
