How much does translating a thesis cost?

What is included and what is separate?

This rate applies to the agreed portion of an existing thesis. Translating only an abstract, proofreading a translation and editing translated text are separate price-list items.

The scope may cover abstracts, selected thesis sections, articles or presentation slides, with language review of the agreed material.

Service scope: The scope may cover abstracts, selected thesis sections, articles or presentation slides, with language review of the agreed material. What to send: Send the source text, target language, terminology guidance, intended use and deadline.

What determines the final cost?

Tables, footnotes, formulas and specialist terms require more checking than continuous prose. Agree whether the bibliography, figure captions and appendices are also to be translated.

Each order is adjusted to the actual material and requirements. We do not begin until the scope, deadline and price have been confirmed.

How should you read a starting price?

A 'from' rate describes the simplest agreed scope. It does not mean every page or file takes the same effort. The same length may be a clear finished draft or a document with missing data, inconsistent references and supervisor comments.

When comparing quotes, ask what will be checked or prepared, how many rounds of changes are included and what needs separate approval. A price without a description of the deliverable does not make two services comparable.

What affects scope and timing?

Start with the condition of the source material and current university requirements. A short document with many tables, sources or substantive changes may need more work than a longer, well-prepared text. Page count is only one pricing factor.

Set the order of tasks: which changes must happen before the next stage, what files or decisions are still missing and when the result can be reviewed. Timing also depends on the availability of those materials.

How can you assess the finished work?

Compare the finished file with the agreed scope, not just the number of edits. Check whether the document's structure, citations, tables and important comments remain intact. An order for one element is not automatically a full audit of the thesis.

Before submission, open both the editable version and the final PDF. Update the contents page and cross-references, then review passages affected by changes. Check compliance with university rules on the file you will actually submit.

What should you check in a thesis translation?

For a quote, specify target language, specialist terms, tables and figures, and whether footnotes, references and appendices are included. Send a terminology list or an approved sample if available. Page count alone does not show the text's difficulty.

Compare titles, abstract, variable names, quotations and figure captions with the original. Translation should not silently change findings or add data. Check the final file against your university's language and technical requirements too.

What should you send for a quote?

Send editable text, state the source and target languages, page count, terminology requirements and deadline. Include university guidelines if they specify the translation format.

Include your university's current requirements and your deadline. This lets us separate the basic service from additional tasks and confirm the price before work starts.
