Professional Language Services Are an Investment in Accuracy and Quality
Translation and interpretation are professional services that require linguistic expertise, cultural knowledge, accuracy, and careful attention to detail. Rates reflect the time, experience, and professional skill required to deliver high-quality work—not simply the number of words or hours involved.
Experience Matters
Translation and interpretation are not side activities; they are specialized professions. I have worked professionally in the language-services field for more than 20 years, providing Somali and Maay Maay translation, interpretation, proofreading, and related language services for legal, medical, government, educational, business, and community clients.

The price will be calculated based on the number of words in the original text (source) or, by agreement, based on the number of pages in the original text. However, the price of the translation may also depend on:
In order to be able to provide a free quote, I need to receive at least a couple paragraphs of the text that needs to be translated and/or a general description of the text, information about its length, and the due date. Usually I would be able to revert to you with a quote within a couple of hours (slightly longer at the weekend). The quote will be binding once accepted, and will include the elements agreed upon before starting the translation process. Any significant changes or additions made to the original text during the translation process will naturally generate additional costs. In no other case will this initial quote be subjected to changes.
