Jacqueline, not only that rate is too cheap. It is outrageous! Have you ever been involved in subtitling? You may want to experience what it's like and then decide on your own if you find that rate acceptable. It is a very long way from the rates you are charging for translation jobs. What's worse is the dollar to euro exchange rate is most unfavorable so that would make the already outrageous rate absolutely ridiculous. My two cents.

I usually charge € 0.13 - € 0.15 per word for EN-DU translations, so that's why I wanted to hear your comments on this subtitling rate. Is it really way too low? The English text is already in the left column of the table, so I only have to type the Dutch translation in the right column (put in the proper context of course). [/quote] [/quote]
