Hello to all, and thanks to those who reply to my question. What does SKU pricing include? The translation fee of a product text (headline, technical information and description) can be rated per word, but here the case is different. The description of the product text actually requires not to be translated word to word but more of a transcreation and localization process is required. So, for the per word fee of a text, approximately 1000 words can be as 0.06 (or whatever fee is given!). But as ... See more Hello to all, and thanks to those who reply to my question.

For the same 1000 word-text, the transcreation fee must be different. But here, my question is about the SKU price. Can you give me an example of one such SKU pricing task? What was that SKU price for? Should a fixed SKU translation/transcreation price be given to a company for any product text translation in general? Or should each SKU price vary based on the product text? ▲ Collapse

I wonder what you mean by SKU as for me it’s just a code number assigned to a product. Anyway, when a text requires transcreation I quote on a per-project basis after conducting a thorough, in-depth analysis of the text. On the other hand, I have two long-standing customers for whom I translate food labels (meat products and juices) and these vary from 50 words to 200/300 words but are usually short so we have agreed on a flat rate per label whatever the length…

Hi Teresa. As you said. Yes. SKU = a code assigned to a product. Thank you for your reply. Soo pleased, as this was what I expected. A mutual agreement on a flat rate per SKU (or a label), regardless of the word count. )))
