Translation

Publications that pay for translation

Markets currently recorded as publishing translation, with the pay and word count each one states.

17 publications11 accepting now6 open worldwide$1–$100 stated pay (USD equiv.)5 state no figure

4 of these 17 markets quote per page rather than per word or per piece, against 9 of the other 271 records on this desk. A page rate and a word rate are not comparable and BRYME never ranks one against the other, so read each rate in the unit it is quoted in. Where a market states what it wants alongside the translation - the source text, a sample, a named language pair - that is recorded on its own page, from the guideline it was read from.
