Introduction

If you’re planning to translate your documents, website, or media from English to Nepali, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: How much does it cost? Translation rates vary, but understanding the factors behind pricing can help you choose the right service — one that balances affordability with quality.

In this blog, we’ll explore English to Nepali translation rates, what influences them, and how to get the best value for your investment.

Why Translation Rates Vary

Not all translations are the same. A simple text like a short email costs far less than a legal contract or medical report. Rates vary because of:

  1. Domain Complexity – Legal, medical, and technical fields require subject-matter expertise.

  2. Urgency – Faster turnaround = higher rates.

  3. Word Count – Most professional translators charge per word.

  4. Formatting – Certificates, tables, or graphics may cost extra.

  5. Volume Discounts – Larger projects often come with reduced per-word rates.

Per-Word vs. Per-Hour Rates

Most Nepali translators charge per word, ranging between:

  • $0.05 – $0.10 per word (standard range)

For editing, proofreading, or quality assurance (LQA), translators may charge per hour:

  • $12 – $20 per hour, depending on expertise.

Common Pricing Examples

  • Birth Certificate Translation (Certified, USCIS-ready): $30–$50 per page

  • Legal Contracts: $0.08–$0.12 per word

  • Medical Reports: $0.08–$0.10 per word

  • Website Localization: Project-based, depending on volume

How to Spot “Too Cheap” Translation Offers

Be cautious of translation rates that sound too good to be true. Some risks include:

  • Poor grammar and unnatural language

  • Machine translation without human review

  • No certification or accountability

  • Confidentiality concerns

Remember: Cheap translations can cost you more in the long run due to rework, rejection, or even legal issues.
