Interpretation costs
Thread poster: pj794

Hi,
I am currently working on an assignment for college around interpretation and I am trying to make it a bit more realistic.

Would someone be able to point me in the direction of what it costs for one hour's telephone or video conferencing translation between two languages. I am just looking for rough costs, ie. what would the hourly rate be.

Any information greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul.

Dear translator/ interpreter friends,

I had the same exact question about over-the-phone interpreting, and it was very convenient for me to just look it up here. So thanks to you for posting this information.

Interpretation costs Jan 10, 2010

The interpretation cost differs industry to industry. If you working on some oil projrct industry then one can charge around $60 - $70. If you working in Medical Industry there charges could be 35 to 45 dollars. In judicial system one make roughly 45 deollars per hour.
