Why does Lingo24 charge per 1000 words? Why not charge per character, per 100 words, per line, per page or per hour?

For the service levels First Draft Translation, Fully Managed Translation and Editing, Fully Managed Translation with Style and Transcreation, our rates per 1000 words are given as a reference. Our prices are set per word, depending on language combination and service level, however we have a minimum charge for every project, which is applied in instances where the word count is below 1000 words. The minimum charge depends on the service level chosen and the language combination.

As we receive files in different languages and different formats, it is impractical to have a set price per line or per page. We charge per character for character-based Asian languages, and per hour for our Desktop Publishing and for Checking and Editing services.
