Are rates for transation lower in Poland? For example, would a polish enterprise accept € 0,06 per word?

Hi Tradu.lom,
Leaving aside the issue of whether discussing prices in public is a good idea, I think there's no real answer to your question, as you haven't specified the language pair, subject area, complexity, etc. etc.
Best regards,
Ralf

One translation agency pays me approx. this rate for "rush jobs".
Other agencies usually pay half of that for standard jobs.
But I think that with direct clients the rate you mentioned is quite feasible.

Professional agencies don't offer rates like the above one and professional translators don't answer to offers for 0,03 Euro.
In general, the rates may be a little bit lower than in "old" EU countries, but if you are looking for good quality and reliability, you have to pay reasonable rates.
Otherwise, you have to make your enquiry in Far East.

Andrzej

I would like to add a "caveat" to my previous post. The rates I mentioned are the rates I was able to get from my clients. This doesn't mean that other translators are not able to get better rates (or worse, for that matter). So please do not treat my message as an indication of prevalent rates in Poland.
Other than that, Andrzej appears to allude that my clients are not professional translation agencies, and/or that I myself am not a professional translator. I have to disagree with it. Although I understand Andrzej, who is able to get better rates and is afraid that someone might try and use my message to drive the rates down. That was not my intention in my original message. It appears that some members do no like the idea of rates being discussed in public, but even so some other members do post their rates in their profiles. So perhaps "Tradu.lom" can find the information he (or she?) wants this way.
Well, enough said.
Piotr

My intention was not running a forum about "being professional/unprofessional", so I hope you aren't offended by that post. Thank you for your suggestion. Tradu.lom=she ▲ Collapse

Hi everybody,
I read your posts on translation rates in Poland, but I suppose they refer to En>Po/Po>En language pairs.
What about translations across foreign languages such as EN>IT?
How much would Polish translation agencies usually pay for them?
Any suggestion on possible range would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Elica

It was en.it. and other languages, I do not speak polish
| | | | | Others didn't either! | Dec 7, 2005 |
Don't worry,
others didn't specify either.
I hope someone else will reply to my question and be more detailed on Poland common rates for en>it translations.
For example, would €0.05 be too low?
TIA,
Elica

| Same as Rates Anywhere | Dec 18, 2005 |
The fact that a translator is in Poland, working with Polish as one half of their language pair, should not have any 'special' influence on the rate. If the EU membership is to be of any value to anyone, then I would expect that a Euro payment rate would be the same in any other member country. Trust me, as a British ex-pat living and working in Poland with my Polish wife, I get enough earache from my Polish colleagues about Britain/Germany/Italy/Random Western European Country giving us the sti...

No offense mind, I know this is a 'sensitive' issue, and that any straying from the path of purely translating-related discussion is generally frowned upon- and I know this post is already long past the point of being 'Off Topic'- but I was in here looking for something else, and I felt I just had to reply. ▲ Collapse
