Default Re: How do I decide a fee

Hi Octavia!

You started a pretty interesting thread here.

As far as I know, the rates are given by the languages you work in the first place, and then some other factors.
Generally experienced translators can charge more, because they base the expensive rate to the fact that they know the subject, offer a quality service, etc.
Also specific and difficult subject are more expensive, it's not easy to find an aerospace translator than one who can translate a kitchen recipe.
Finally, I usually give a discount on volume.

The rate you decide depends on many things, but it's ultimately, your choice.

Cheers!
