※ 引述《lifegetter (流浪教授)》之銘言：
: 要是以一小時 40-60美元（美國一般專業人員的工資）算，一個字該收多少錢？一百五十
: 到兩百五十美元一小時（美國教授一般的服務費，十年前我替大陸去美國的培訓團翻譯時
: 做過）呢？到五千台幣一小時的口譯價碼時，該有許多《高水平》的人願意加入這個行業
: 了吧？以一千人民幣一小時的工資，k大該可以在大陸找到高水平的人外包翻譯工作，不
: 必到這版上找人測試了。
Some companies (aggregate of freelance translators) charge the fee
by word, most by page (not sure if the fee also depends on source/
target languages and the type of documents). From what I know,
it's around 0.10 ~ 0.17 USD (4 TWD) per word, excluding applicable
tax and without substracting commission.
The quote I got for a 6585-word document was 675.40 USD (source
language: French; target language: English). It would take them
about six days to do the translation.
But then, you also need to take GDP and standard of living into
consideration.
