Our Fees

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

PTTC offers diverse translation services and can produce certified, notarized, and legalized translations, catering to its local or/and overseas customers’ particular needs and requirements, regardless of who they are (individuals or legal entities); it translates documents; localizes software and websites; edits-proofreads documents; and transcribes audios and videos (subtitling, dubbing and voice-over), and also provides interpretation services.

Following are the most common document types mostly requested to translate by customers and executed by PTTC through its professional experience since its inception so far:  
1. Business documents: Reports, presentations, emails and more.  
2. Legal documents: Contracts, letters or powers of attorney, court documents, and more.

4. Financial documents: Statements, reports, assurance documents, and more.

1. General translation fees for the most common languages: 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 translation materials so that we could scrutinize, draw up and issue an official quote with an exact cost to them. 
Nevertheless, this is not always the case, translation fees are sometimes up to price calculation conducted per word, mostly against the source text for translation services, or per an hour for interpretation services: 
- Per Word:
1. Price range of $ 0.05 to $ 0.25 for general text translation.
2. 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 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. 
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Conference Interpretation 
4. Court Interpretation
5. Escorted/Guided Interpretation
6. Whispered Interpretation
7. Relay Interpretation
8. Telephonic Interpretation and more.
