Dear friends,

How much to charge per page of a 240 page book on comparative religion from Arabic to Spanish.

Thank you.

John

I’ve charged a flat fee for the books I’ve translated (education + medicine) after long negotiations…

no se cobra "por página" (¿Cuánto es eso... 200, 300 palabras?). Se cobra idealmente por caracteres, incluidos los espacios en blanco. Suerte.

John - Please elaborate Dec 18, 2023

You forgot to mention two crucial details, namely how legit is your contact, and whether they would be a publisher or a private individual.
If your contact is an established publisher, they normally have their own contracts and per-page/flat fees in place, based on which you can start negotiating, according to the specific topic of the book.

Edited to fix a phrase

18€ per page? It depends on the number of words...
