A note on Oracle Translation Services' rates
Oracle Translation Services demands that you send a copy of the text in full by fax, post or email prior to the commencement of the task so that a translator can ascertain the complexity of the text, how long it should take to complete and any costs which may be incurred in the translation process. If the translation is of a very technical nature (i.e. with most vocabulary requiring elucidation in the native language), or if it is to be completed in a very short time, costs will rise.Proofreading costs also depend on the nature and complexity of the text. Again, Oracle Translation Services would ask that you send a copy of the text in full by fax, post or email so that an accurate quote can be given.
