Hello everyone,

Could you please provide me with the current average rates for translation, MT post-editing, and proofreading?
My areas of expertise are medical, pharmaceutical, and clinical trials.
Thank you in advance!

Take care how you use them! Feb 5

You may be able to see something here, with the reservations given:
https://www.proz.com/employers/rates
(Scroll down and select language pairs you are interested in)

This page lists the average rates reported by ProZ.com's community of freelance translators and translation companies. Please be aware that this data does not necessarily reflect the average of rates actually charged and paid for real-world projects; it is only an aggregate view of the rates that users have entered into their ProZ.com profiles. (That said, because the rates entered are used to filter notifications, etc., they can be considered relatively representative of actual fees.) Furthermore, not all users have reported rate data; please take note of the sample size when evaluating this information.

These are general rates for typical projects, but it should be understood that actual rates often vary depending on details such as the type of service, expertise required, minimum fees, type of client, etc.



If you want an idea of what to charge for translation, you can try the rates calculator, but you may have to adjust it for your own real situation, and consider what real-world clients will pay.

In Argentina, my bedside reference is AATI > https://www.aati.org.ar/aranceles-orientativos

If you are a sword translator/interpreter, check if there's any guild in your area. In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, it's the CPTCBA > https://www.traductores.org.ar/matriculados/aranceles-orientativos/
