Hi, I'm new in the website and I would like to know how much should I charge for an MSDS that it's 14 pages long. This is the first time I translate one. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance! | | |

...but what is a MSDS? 14 pages long doesn't mean very much, though. | | |

I would just go by the word count. If it is a Microsoft Word document, it is easy to know the total number of words by a couple of clicks. | | |

Charge per word, and use a high word rate, since MSDSs contain many specialist terms and phrases. | | |

Just a comment to add to John's advice: Unfortunately the filtering for special fields of expertise does not work on the ProZ page he linked to; you always get the same average rate. | | |

Thanks in advance! Your rate for any specialized text. A little help: check the EU directives and regulations, you can probably find most titles of the standard form already available in your language, including the text of H, R phrases. | | |
