Translation
Prices
The price of a translation or interpreting assignment depends on many factors. When planning a multilingual event, pricing is undoubtedly a decisive factor. Below you will find some information on the price composition of my language services..
Conference Interpreting
A daily rate is usually charged for interpreting assignments. However, it is difficult to give a general price as it depends on factors such as preparation time, duration of the assignment, the need to hire technical equipment as well as any travel expenses. Under the right circumstances, I would not hesitate to charge a flat rate for an event over several days or weeks.
Certified Interpreting
For sworn interpreting assignments with notaries, authorities or at court, an hourly rate (§ 9 JVEG, Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act) applies, for both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. Travel time is remunerated at the same rate.
Translation & Proofreading
The price for a translation is calculated per word, per line or per file. In Germany, it is usually charged per line (55 characters including spaces). For texts under 1500 characters, I usually charge a minimum rate. The price per line varies depending on the type of text, the delivery date and any additional services. After you have sent me the text by e-mail to giulia@damiani-interpreting.de, you will receive a non-binding quote from me within 24 hours.
FAQ

Requesting a translation is very simple: send me the text to be translated by e-mail to giulia@damiani-interpreting.de and I will provide you with a non-binding quote within 24 hours. When preparing the quote, I take into account factors such as the length of the document, the type of text and the delivery date. In order to provide you with an accurate translation, it is also important that I have as much information as possible about the text: who it is intended for, what goal you want to achieve with the text, when you need it by and where it will be published or used.
If my quote is within your budget, simply send back my quote with your signature and I will start translating for you.

I will be happy to work out solutions for you to make every person reading your content feel respected, included and at ease.

Remember that there is an ethical and deontological code that obliges the interpreter to strictly respect professional secrecy and confidentiality. To protect both sides, I am happy to sign a confidentiality agreement for interpreting and translation assignments.
