Rush or no rush?

Hey guys, I have 5,000 words from English to Spanish that needs to be completed in 3 business days. I'm not sure if this should be considered a rush project. What do you guys think?

I dont think that's a big rush. We use 2,500 words translated per day as reference (5,000 for edition). However, if DTP is included, then you'll have to make choices;)

Thanks nabylm. So that means if there is DTP that needs to be done, it could be considered a rush project? Let's say it's a 20 page Indesign file with images.

20 pages with images.... That would be 1BD just for DTP. You are left with 2BD for T+E. Now you have a rush. I would say you should use post edition (especially if it´s a legal contract) to save some time.

I quite agree with nabylm, formatting takes time, and it´s also a good practice to send material to one of the translators involved in the process to have a final look at the formatted file. Working only off the cat tool might lead to some mistakes...

Thanks Nabylm. What would be a regular turnaround time in that case for 20 page INDD with TEP done?
