How often do I get an assignment for my language pair?
Wordsmakers is based in Thailand where 60% of our translation request comes from major languages in Group 1 on a daily/weekly basis. The rest comes from Group 2 and 3 languages on a fortnightly and monthly basis.
Pricing Range
Market rate in Thailand for document translation is between 150 to 450 Thai Baht on average, which translate to approximately 0.01 to 0.035 USD per word, assuming 400 word per page. Factors for pricing include language pairs, specialized knowledge required, experience of translators, timeline etc.
Payment amount(s), currency, method and timing
Payments are settled on a per job basis within 7 days after completion of work. We transact in only USD and Thai Baht. Payment methods include PayPal and bank transfer (Thailand).
Permissibility of subcontracting
Subcontracting of projects received from WorksMakers are strictly not permitted without written approval from WordsMakers.
