Proofreading/Editing
Rates
It would be rather difficult to calculate fixed rates per page for proofreading/editing, since the effort strongly depends on the need for corrections, and therefore final rates can differ significantly. For this reason, my rates are not calculated according to the amount of words or pages, but according to the estimated number of hours I need to complete the translation.
If you wish, I would be happy to do a one-hour sample correction of your text. This will only cost you €45. After that, I will be able to tell you exactly how much effort and time is needed, how much the final rate per page will be and how much the translation of your entire text will cost in the end. It is then down to you whether you want to accept my quotation or not.
The following amounts of pages per hour in the third column are only intended to give you an approximate guideline. The applicable rates in the second column refer to the number of hours I actually need. Therefore, it can pay off for you if you have already done some preliminary work and not much editing and correcting is necessary.
