Book Translation (FAQs)
How much does it cost to translate a book?
The price of book translation can vary depending on several key factors:
- Text length: The number of words is one of the main factors determining the cost of a translation. A 50,000-word book will cost differently than a 100,000-word novel.
- Target language: Some languages are more complex to translate due to cultural and linguistic differences. For example, translating a book from Spanish into English may be less expensive than translating it into Chinese or Arabic, due to the availability of translators and linguistic complexity.
- Type of content: Translating a work of fiction is usually less expensive than translating a technical or scientific book, as the latter requires specialised knowledge of the field.
- Format: Translating a book into PDF or EPUB format may require additional adaptation to ensure that the text and layout remain intact after translation.
- Additional services: If the project includes additional services such as editorial review, layout or design adaptation, the cost may also increase.
