The price of tourism translation services
Have you ever wondered how much tourism translation services cost? Tourism accounts for a large percentage of Spain’s GDP. In fact, our country is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Its artistic and natural wealth, as well as its cuisine, culture and lifestyle attract numerous tourists.
But how do we communicate all the tourism potential we have to offer? There are various nuances and peculiarities without which the importance of the essence of our tourism cannot be understood. The best way to convey them is by speaking the native language of the visitor.
You can get accurate messages in countless languages with impeccable quality by hiring tourism translation services carried out by mother-tongue professionals. But how much does a tourism industry translation cost? In this post, you will find out more about the prices and rates of our tourism translation services.
How we calculate the price of a tourism translation
The price of a tourism translation depends on four main factors: the word count, the language into which we translate, the complexity of the text and the type of translation.
Let’s take a look at the word count first. The price depends on the length of the text. The longer ones entail a higher price; but they are proportionally cheaper because we can apply discounts for repetitions. Ask our team at Overseas Translations for a detailed translation quotation and find out what advantages you can get for texts of more than 5,000 words.
The second factor that affects the price of a tourism translation is the language into which we translate. Sometimes less in-demand languages are pricier, while others, such as English or French, are more cost-effective. One of the strengths of translation agencies is the wide range of languages they work with. At Overseas Translations, we have a team of professionals who are native speakers of even the least spoken languages.
The final factors that will determine the cost of a tourism translation are the complexity of the text and the type of translation involved. Not all texts in the tourism sector are equally complex. There are highly specialised documents where the translator has to pay particular attention to the use of terminology. Think, for example, of scientific papers related to the tourism sector.
Tourism translation types and prices
As we have just seen, there are different types of tourism translations with varying degrees of complexity. Among the most common translation types are translations for hotels, restaurants, tourist guide publishers and for those establishments offering different leisure and leisure activities, publishers of tourist guides and for establishments offering various leisure and recreational activities.
Do you want to know some good news? All our translation services are carried out by professional translators, but tourism texts tend to have lower translation rates than, for example, sworn translations. This is because they do not need a stamp to confirm the official status of the document and because they serve a different purpose.
Translations for hotels
Hotels constitute some of the main clients in the tourism translation industry. It is perhaps the most important place for a tourist and no two hotels are alike since each has a unique personality. Whether it’s a brochure, your website or your app: get the most out of your hotel or accommodation by hiring a professional translation service to transmit your business philosophy.
What’s the cost of translating a brochure?
Brochures are a promotional sales tool that usually publicises limited time offers. They inform about a specific service or good and try to attract customers. For this reason, they tend to have little text. This makes brochures a cost-effective kind of text to translate.
However, please note that we have a minimum fee of €30 for texts shorter than 300 words. Why? A short text always has a big idea behind it and the professional translator needs to immerse himself in your business, philosophy and convey them in another language, which takes time and effort.
What’s the cost of translating a hotel website?
Websites are the business cards of our age. How much can a website say about our business? If we analyse the minute details such as the font or page colour, how can we not take special care of the language and leave the text in the hands of a mother-tongue, specialist translator?
The price of the tourism translation of a website will depend on the word count. Do you want to translate the whole website or just some sections? How much descriptive text do you want to translate? Into what language(s) do you want it?
Do not hesitate to ask the Overseas Translations team so that we can propose a custom solution and give you a detailed quotation for the cost of translating your hotel or accommodation website.
What’s the cost of translating a hotel app?
Having an app brings vital added value to a hotel. Behind what is a great convenience for the user, we see a significant investment in creation and maintenance. These reasons alone make it vital to entrust a mother-tongue, specialist translator with the translation of your app.
At Overseas Translations we have solutions for apps of any format and complexity. Do not hesitate to contact us for a detailed quotation for a translation of your app
