Prices for Human+AI and AI+Human translations
At Orkera, we do not have a fixed price list. Our translation rates are tailored to your project, depending on the required quality level, turnaround time, content complexity and languages involved.
But our promise remains the same: clear, transparent billing, with no hidden costs, for the solution best suited to your needs.

Besides the basic translation rate, the overall price of a translation service will also vary depending on the number of additional services:
Preparation of files and documents before translation and/or finalisation once translated
Configuration services or connector setup (for content translated in CMSs, for example)
The urgency of the request, which may be subject to a “last-minute” surcharge
Prices for audiovisual translations and bespoke services
Some projects require specific techniques, such as video translation, dubbing, transcription and interpreting.
For these more complex services, rates may vary depending on a number of factors including duration, format, language and technical requirements.
Let’s talk about it directly: we’ll offer you a quote tailored to your needs.

Our turnaround times
For each service, translation turnaround times are determined based on several factors:
Translator availability
depending on the languages and areas of expertise involved
Content preparation
file extraction or reconstruction if necessary
Translation time
depending on the chosen solution (AI, Expert, etc.)
Proofreading and quality control
by a second translator if necessary
Final formatting
export or integration into your systems
For large-scale projects, we can have multiple translators working simultaneously to reduce turnaround times.
Choosing Verified AI Translation also speeds up delivery while ensuring a high standard of quality.
Finally, for audiovisual projects, opting for subtitling services or synthetic voice-overs can significantly reduce production turnaround times.

FAQs: Prices and turnaround times
How much does a translation cost on average?
The cost of a translation depends on a number of factors, including the source and target languages, the complexity of the content, the volume to be translated and the chosen solution (AI, Verified AI, Expert, etc.). At Orkera, rates start from €0.04 per word for AI translation and vary depending on your requirements. Contact us for a free quote.
How do you calculate the price of a translation?
Our services can be charged per word, per page or as a fixed fee, depending on the nature of the project. Other factors include page layout, file format, degree of urgency and any certification required.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of your translations?
All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in Article 226-13 of the French Criminal Code, as well as by the commitments enshrined in Orkera’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale. To back up these commitments, we sign specific non-disclosure agreements with our clients on request.
How can I reduce my translation costs?
You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:
– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.
Which languages do you translate?
We translate from and into more than 60 languages.
We cover all European languages as well as the other main languages of international communication. Most of the projects we handle for our clients are multilingual translations of documents, websites or videos from and into several languages at once.
How much time does a translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g. for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days. Whatever the content format and expected quality level, our quotes systematically state the time required for the translation.
Translation turnaround times are given in the presentation of our solutions. Then there’s the time it takes to adjust the page layout if necessary or obtain approval for the insertion of translations into a website or software interface.
Which translation service or solution should I choose?
Orkera offers several translation solutions that can be tailored to the use context and publication requirements. We provide advice and listen to your needs to help you confidently choose the best solution. Ask us for a free audit.
