How much do translators charge for translation? I mean from spanish

>>9266853
It entirely depends on the quality of translation you are looking for. Pay peanuts get monkeys

Why when google translator is here. You dont have an idea how much they improved it

>>9266853
Sounds cheap if youre a millionaire

It's not hilariously bad anymore, but it's still bad.

Oh im glad you say this. Because im a south american poorfag and that price for my 280 pages novel its like what i can save working for a whole year and maybe more.

That's a spendy amount. I would get expert advice or reviews in the native language before trying something like that.

You usually get paid per word (although maybe not in editorial translation)

Services like translation should be free. There should be a multi-national institution with like a call center-esque set-up where bilingual people sit and translate copyrighted material all day long. If you request something that's say, a decade or older, you simply pay a fine to cover the possibility that it has already been translated. What helps other people, helps you in the end.

>Mi abuela me estaba esperando. Le dije que me daba flojera ir al instituto.
>My grandmother was waiting for me. I told him I was lazy to go to high school.

Not quite there yet. Would have been worse if I had used the Argentinian idiom "dar paja".

Who's going to do all that translation work for free?

>>9267470
Obviously the government. The person you replied to is a sociopa- I mean socialist.

Google?

Instead of wasting money, gas, time, and hiring someone to drive around to take pictures of streets, they should be funding an archive of contemporary online literature in multiple languages. Yeah, nobody is going to translate every post on 4chan, but it would be in the world's interest to have every major site translated on the fly. Gawker, eBay, Imgur, twitter...

Maybe it doesn't have to be free, but subscription-based. Say Amazon does it. If they can include it as an incentive for Amazon Prime until it picks up content, then I'm sure thousands of people will flock to them so they can read Japanese sites converted into English by a professional in real-time. And that's just one language.
