Question: What is a rate for a certified translation vs. regular translation?

Answer: To be specific this question was coming from someone looking for a legally certified document to be translated and not for a certified translator to complete work for them. In this case the answer really is "it depends." It depends on the document or certificate, your country of origin, and what the timeline is for the translation. You are best off contacting translators directly and getting 3-4 quotes from them to get an average of the going rate for this type of work.
