GAME TRANSLATION SERVICES Q&A
1. How To Determine Game Translation Costs?
To have the exact price of game translation services, we take many factors that affect translation costs into consideration:
- Project volume: In most cases, we give the quotation per word or characters. The number of words/characters is the most precise indication of the effort our linguists put into the project.
- Service required: Some translation projects only require Translation Only (TO), while others need both Translation and Editing (TE), or Translation + Editing + Proofreading (TEP). The more steps a project needs, the higher the rate is.
- Industry expertise: The complexity of the required domain also affects the price of the project. General topics are charged less than high-expertise content.
Our competitive rate for a game translation project starts from $0.06/word. Please contact our team for a quotation for your project.
2. How Long Does It Take To Complete Game Translation Project?
It depends on the volume, content types, required services, and other project-specific factors. In general, our translator metric is 2,500 words per business day for game translation projects. In some cases, we assign a translation task for multiple translators to handle, with a capacity of 8,000-10,000 words per day, given it’s a standard Translation and Editing job performed by one translator and one editor. For example, if you have a 10,000-word English-to-Chinese project, you can expect to receive the translation in about 1 to 1.5 business days.
To get the exact delivery time for your projects, please contact our support team here.
