Foreign medical translation fee

The cost varies according to the difficulty of medical translation. Because there are many medical classifications, choosing the corresponding major according to different disciplines requires translators to have corresponding background and experience, so the cost varies with the difficulty of translation.

Different translation languages charge different fees, which is the standard of the translation industry. At present, the main languages in the medical translation industry are English, French, German and Japanese, and English is the most widely used language in the world.

There are relatively many professional English translators, and the translation quotations of translation companies are uneven, while the audience in other languages is relatively small, and there are relatively few relevant professional translators. The translation quotation of each translation company is higher than that of English. Therefore, the difference of translation languages is an important factor affecting the charging standard of medical translation.

Different types of medical translation need different fees. If the manual translation of medical devices, the translation of medical papers and the translation of medical documents are all included in the category of translation, in fact, they are very different. Both manual translation and manual translation need fixed terms, and translation is relatively simple, while the translation of documents and papers is more professional and requires strict logic and scholarship, which requires translators to have a relatively high level of medical translation.
