English↔German translation, editing, and content creation: Cut the clutter and commission your multilingual content through a lean word count that excludes repetitions from the scope.
For most translation jobs, it's that simple. But you might be thinking the devil is in the details, and you'd be right! To learn more about how we calculate the scope and fee, tap the headers below or jump to our editorial rates for more details.
Scope means the total word count excluding repetitions and translation memory. These are the billable words we use to budget our work for you. This number is often lower than the raw word count of your submitted documents—and thanks to translation memory, it gets better the longer you work with us.
A freelancer’s fee is the unit price of your chosen service. GermanBureau offers pricing guidelines, but in the end our freelancers set their own negotiable rates. Your total costs are clearly outlined in every offer we make.
The fee depends on the linguist’s expertise and language proficiency, a measure of the value they bring into your project. It is also a way to account for specialized terminology and other labor-intensive language that requires additional research to translate accurately.
The tax rate in Germany is typically 19%. However, individual freelancers in our network may be subject to different taxation rules.
Certain projects by journalists, artists, and other publishers may benefit from a discounted VAT of only 7%. To learn if your project qualifies, please consult a tax advisor and contact us directly.
With our pricing tables as a guide, clients are free to negotiate their own rates with the independent writing professionals in our network.
