Part-time Japanese translator quotation of 1,000 words

Chinese-to-Japanese translation costs about 100-150 words per thousand words for non-native Japanese speakers, and 200-300 words per thousand words for Japanese-speaking translators.

The 70 per thousand words you mentioned is indeed not high, but from the other party’s perspective, they must want to see the quality and level, and if they are satisfied, they can add more money.

You can tell the other party what your ideal price is. In the early stage, both parties do not know each other, so they can accept 70 per thousand words.

If you want to get it right in one step, the other party may not accept it.
