Minimum Charge and Rush Fee
Minimum Charge and Rush Fee
Atglobal applies a “minimum charge” for small volume translation requests. However, a “rush fee” is added for requests that are more urgent than the standard turnaround time.
If the source text is less than 400 words or 800 characters, we will charge a minimal fee of 400 words or 800 characters. Even if the order is for a small amount, there will be a minimum in-house management cost, and we ask for this to absorb the cost.For more information, please feel free to use the Quotation Form or ask your PM.
For example, if you are translating a 4,000-character Japanese document into Vietnamese (or 2,000 English words into Vietnamese), the standard turnaround time is about 4 business days, depending on the difficulty of the text (1 translator and 1 checker are needed to maintain stable translation quality). If you wish to significantly shorten the standard turnaround time, we can work with multiple translators and checkers, but a surcharge will be added to account for the added load on the PM and checkers. Please refer to the table below for examples of fees. If you require a rush or express service, please check the “Rush” box on the Quotation Form and enter your desired delivery date in the “Special Notes” section.
