I've been offered a proof reading job (3000 words) where the agency asks for my rate. My translation rate is £0.07 per word and £25 per hour but what should my proof reading rate be?

Hourly rate should be the same regardless of task.
If you charge, what I consider to be, so little for your translations, I can't see how you can go any lower when it comes to proofreading.
I know we see a lot of very low rates, here and at other sites. But rates vary depending on language combination. Various factors determine these rates, such as:
- supply of competent translators in relation to demand for translations
- cost of living in countries where competent translators generally live
- taxes and social fees in countries where competent translators generally live
I personally couldn't live comfortably in the UK (or Sweden) charging £25/hour. That is, if I want to be able to deliver a quality product.
We agree with this opinion，at least half of the price.Fist you should see the quality of the tranlation,if the translation is too bad,you should ask for more money beacause I have been meet such kind hard (尴尬的 in chinese）situation.
