When we consider translation from English to Russian the obvious query quickly bobble out: What is a good price for English to Russian translation job? The question is most logical and sticks as immediately as one needs a translation of a document or website. The simplest question goes difficult one to answer without knowing more about what your translation requirements are.

Before considering translation job ask a few questions to you. Can’t you manage without fast workable translation? Does your budget force you to consider cheap solution? Does the quality of the finished product matters most to you? When you have prepared your list of retirements they can easily be catered by number of professional translation services available these days.

So, before you outline your budget for your Russian English translation project, be very clear in your mind what you exactly need. While you look into the ...
... basic idea of pricing, you find that it works on the three pillar criteria: Quality, Time and Cost. If pressure is given on any single side it will surely affect the other two. The theory also works the other way round; if you release pressure from one side you will get benefit at other two. When you are short of time and want your job get done relatively in lesser time, you will have to compromise on the quality of the job you get ready to pay extra. If you are looking for cheap translations services, do not expect a premium quality or fast service. Exceptions are there in every field so in translation!

It’s not unworkable that you cannot cheat the concept of Cost, Quality and Time. For example, suppose you need a translation urgently but you don’t want to forfeit quality. You only need to make a slight arrangement by hiring a translator working in different time zone. They start their day while you finish yours and vice-versa. So, when next day you come in to your office you get your job done. This way you very smartly push on the time requirement without paying a penny extra or a drop in your quality.

After considering the price matter a lot we come to the conclusion that it’s you who can decide how much you have to pay for English to Russian translation service. Make sure what you want and in what time frame. Set your priorities like estimated deadlines, equality of work then compare prices from every source available. While you are sure about your priorities you can better negotiate on price.
