Translation professional ethics

Save 20% on your translation cost by intelligently paying a fair price based on 250 words per page rather than being tricked into paying 20% extra when translation cost is calculated on the basis of 200 words per page. Know your rights as a customer, and make the right choice!

The work ethics of an organization reflect the corporate culture fostered by management. Noncompliance with work ethics depicts lack of organizational vision and represents absence of long term objectives. At times, these objectives revolve around the sole purpose of devising clever and unethical methods of drawing money out customers’ pockets.

Customers must get the best return on their investment in terms of price, quality and service. Well-formulated work ethics strengthen trust between customers and vendors. Trust, as we all know, is the baseline for a mutually favorable, long-term relationship. However, this relationship will definitely suffer a serious setback when customers realize that they are overcharged.

One of the easiest ways of cheating customers is to lower quantity of the product rather than directly raising the price. In this way, customers are coaxed into paying 20% more because the quantity of the product is reduced by 20%.

Translation business is a classic example of this unethical phenomenon. In simple math, calculating 200 words as one page actually means charging customers 20% more than what they will pay if quantity is calculated on the basis of 250 words = 1 page.

Unfortunately, many customers may not pay attention to this tricky calculation method. This can be easily explained in light of the following scenario: You have a 1000-word document that needs to be translated. If it is calculated on the basis of 200 words = 1 page, then you are paying the price of 5 pages; whereas if it is calculated on the basis of 250 words = 1 page, then you are paying the price of pages. If the price per page is equal, then you are paying 20% extra or the price of one extra page for this document.
