When it comes to translation fees, they can vary considerably, depending on several affecting factors, including but not limited to the language pair, complexity of the text, volume of the text, urgency of the project, the language variant, and the post-translation support. Given all of these, general translation fees of the most common languages in Cambodia’s current translation industrial markets are shown hereunder. However, they are indeed mostly indicative of and prove the cases for customers to view and decide on.

1. General translation fees for the most common languages: The fees are generally charged, subject to word or character count against either the source or target text, e.g. 300 English words or 1,500 Khmer characters deemed as 1 page for English to Khmer and vice versa in a translation project. However, customers are encouraged to share their projects so that PTTC could scrutinize, draw up and issue them with an official quote and exact cost.
Nevertheless, this is not always the case, translation fees are sometimes a result of price calculation conducted per word mostly against the source text or per hour:
- Per Word:
- Price range of $ 0.05 to $ 0.25 for general text translation
- Price range of $ 0.10 to $ 0.35 for technical or legal or medical text translation
- Per Hour: Fees typically range from $ 30 to $ 50 per hour, applying to interpretation services only
2. In sharp contrast to the abovementioned pricing methods, the following fixed translation fees are expressly stated yet apply to form or model or/and administrative documents which need to be translated from Khmer into English language only:
PTTC offers real-time interpretation services for meetings, conferences and events across Cambodia and around the world, to and from a wide range of languages and fields, either in person or remotely.
The two most basic interpretation modes are simultaneous interpretation, and consecutive interpretation.
- Simultaneous interpretation: This mode involves the interpreter listening to the speaker and translating the message in real-time, almost simultaneously. The interpreter usually works in a soundproof booth with headphones and a microphone, delivering the translation to the audience through headsets. It is commonly used in large conferences and international meetings.
- Consecutive interpretation: In this mode, the interpreter waits for the speaker to finish a segment of their speech prior to translating it into the target language. The interpreter takes notes while listening and then delivers the translation once the speaker pauses. Consecutive interpretation is often used in smaller settings, such as business meetings, interviews, and legal proceedings.
- Conference Interpretation
- Court Interpretation
- Escorted/Guided Interpretation
- Whispered Interpretation
- Relay Interpretation
- Telephonic Interpretation and more.
