The answer is not a fixed price list: a one-page criminal record and a sixty-page medical file are different types of work. But the factors that determine the cost are clear, known from the outset, and each can be explained in a single sentence. At GT-Tradu\u00e7\u00f5es, we have worked this way for four decades, from our office in Loul\u00e9.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pull-quote\">A translation quote should hold no surprises: everything that determines the cost is known before the first word is translated.<\/div>\n<p>This article explains the factors that influence the price, the factors that do not, and the information you should send us to receive an exact quote from the start.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box cta-box-alt\"><span class=\"badge-trust\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-file-invoice\"><\/i> Quote with no obligation<\/span><h3>Would you like to know how much your certified translation will cost?<\/h3><p>Send us a scanned copy of the document and who it\u2019s for.

We count the words in the source document, including official stamps, notes and annotations that must be reproduced.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Language pair<\/strong> \u2014 the availability of native translators with experience in the relevant field varies between language combinations. English, French and Spanish have different pricing from Mandarin or Arabic, for example.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Type of certification required<\/strong> \u2014 simple translation, notary certification, CIOL certification or apostille. Each has its own cost, and not all are necessary in every case.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Requested deadline<\/strong> \u2014 standard and urgent deadlines require different approaches.
