Translation errors have their consequences, and they\u2019re not very pleasant. Human translation, on the other hand, is a much safer approach. Not only can you be sure of accuracy, but your content is also localised for your target audience \u2013 something machines falter at every time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Weigh your options carefully.

However, when it comes to more complex file types, like JSON or PNGs, the LSP needs to ensure that the language expert has experience working with such formats and the platforms through which they are accessed. This is especially true for projects related to website and app localisation. As a result, the format may influence the cost of your translation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de1401b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"de1401b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11-1024x366.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1946\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11-1024x366.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11-768x275.jpg 768w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11-1536x550.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/factors3-11.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-090f0e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"090f0e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Category of Text\n<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cc9deb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2cc9deb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>LSPs broadly categorise translation projects into two main groups \u2013 general and specialised. General category translations are less expensive than specialised translations because they do not require language experts with additional qualifications. Translators for specialised or industry-specific projects usually need to have an educational background and certifications related to their subject area in addition to their language expertise.<\/p><p>For example, a user manual for a medical device like a sonography machine would require someone with a medical background, with experience in translating such documents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70db287 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70db287\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ending Notes\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ca13991 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ca13991\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now that you know the different pricing models and factors related to translation pricing, you\u2019re in a much better place to have a healthy discussion with your LSP when starting a project.<\/p><p>As we conclude our pricing masterclass, we hope all your questions have been answered.
