advertised on PROZ

(NOTE: For such a large job I would require a down-payment of some form

since it is a company a have not worked for before)

As for the 3 months interpreting - I am based in London, so I do no think

interested in providing travel expenses to Rio (accommodation not

necessary) - I would be happy to offer my services as interpreter. In

london I usually charge £200 for a full day of consecutive

translation. As this is a long term project I would very open to

Looking forward to hear from you,

------------------------------

I've just received a quotation for interpreting in Brazil. The

interpreters I may contact charge US$500/business day, for six hours of

work a day. They live in Brazil. I believed this same colleague would

quote translation too but she referred me to another colleague. Do you

want me to contact her?

--------------------------------

Mexico, but am

waiting for the answer of some more colleagues. In the meantime, let's see

the rates for Argentina and one option for Mexico.

In general, we interpreters charge by the hour or day, but I think it may

be a bit high for them. My rate by the day would be US$300. However, as it

is a job for four months, I think it is a better choice to charge a flat

rate for the month, which I suggest as US$2000/month. This involves

working Mon through Fri, 8 hs  a day. To this, a US$50/hourly rate for

every extra hour should be added. Please choose whatever you deem more

suitable or maybe you can present both possibilities and let the client

decide. These rates apply to either one interpreter the whole day or two

interpreters, one in the morning and another one in the afternoon,

depending on the intensity of the interpreting work. If the job involves

interpreting non-stop, a lot, most of the days, then two people should be

involved, and the rate of course would double. That's why it is important

to know the details of the job. Additionally, I would like to sign a

contract with the client since I would be committing much of my working

time and this involves making changes in connection with my other clients.

As to Mexico, one of my colleagues would be willing to relocate there for

the four months. The rates would be the same, but relocation expenses

should be added, i.e. travel and accommodation expenses. I don't know if

they would be willing to pay for that....

If you think these rates are not good for your markup, please let me know

and we can discuss them further. I will be out of the office now for a few

hours but of course you can write to me in the meantime.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

--------------------------------

Do you know what country the IT company is from? I'm finding out with a

Portuguese >English interpreter but she is away on holidays. I hope she

can answer soon. When do you have to submit the info? Tomorrow? I think it

will be more difficult to find someone in Mexico, but I'll keep on trying.

--------------------------------

Thank you very much for approaching me with this project. It does sound

interesting!

Before thinking of a rate, could you tell me some more details about the

project, especially the interpreting portion? Would interpreting involve

accompanying people to meetings, simultaneous interpreting for

conferences, accompanying businessmen to dinner, etc.?

As to translation (only the Sp>Eng), I believe U$S0.075/source word is a

good rate. Is it good for your markup?

If you need, I can find out about the Portuguese>English translation

portion and maybe interpreting in Brazil.

I will be looking forward to your news.

--------------------------------
