Why the industry quotes thousands.
The traditional model
Professional human translation is typically quoted per word — commonly $0.10–$0.30 — so a 50,000-word novel runs $5,000–$15,000 before typesetting. Literary work commands a premium, and rare language pairs raise it further.
The page-based model
Pages are the unit you can actually see. Context-aware AI does the heavy lifting, a native-language literary review refines the result, and the page count detected from your PDF is the quote. No per-word negotiation, no scope creep.
What's included in every quote.
Original layout preserved
Headings, artwork, captions, tables, and spacing stay where they belong on every translated page.
Browser-verified page count
Your PDF is parsed on your device, so the price comes from the real book.
Delivery estimate up front
Books up to 200 pages: 24–48 hours. Longer books: 3–5 days.
Literary review on Editorial
Native-language reviewers refine cadence, idiom, and terminology on the Editorial plan.
Good to know
Cost questions, answered.
Short answers about pricing and quoting.
How is the page count determined?
When you upload your PDF, the page count is detected right in your browser before anything is sent. The total you see comes from your actual book, not an estimate you have to take on faith.
What's the difference between Essential and Editorial?
Essential is fast, accurate AI-powered translation with a standard terminology review — ideal for drafts and early editions. Editorial adds context-aware translation and an advanced quality review, tuned for reader-ready books.
Do you charge per word or per page?
Per page. Per-word quoting is why a translated novel traditionally costs thousands — page-based pricing means the unit you can see is the unit you pay for, and the total is known before you commit.
How fast is delivery?
Books up to 200 pages are typically delivered in 24–48 hours. Longer books take 3–5 days. Physical copies are quoted per book.
