For new clients what I charge for a job is mainly project-based: subject matter, complexity, volume, urgency, source language of the text, type of service (some clients ask for ‘ready-to-print’): translation is charged per word, except in cases where there is a minimum fee (equivalent to one hour), or when the client requires a price per project; editing is also charged per word; proofreading is charged by the hour.
