Notes

These rates are based on the volume of the source document.
For English source documents, 1 page = 200 English words.
For Japanese source documents, 1 page = 400 Japanese characters.
Word and character counts are obtained using Microsoft Word's word count feature and then divided by 200 (for English) or 400 (for Japanese) to calculate the number of pages.
There is a 3-page minimum document length. (Shorter documents will be charged as for 3 pages.)
Captions and labels in figures and graphs to be translated will also be included in the word count.
These rates are for translation only. Work for producing drawings, page layout, document formatting and so on will incur an additional charge.
The turnaround times are in business days and do not include weekends, public holidays, and company holidays.
