Howdy,
I checked the archives without luck.
We are looking into the cost of translating our datasheets
to Japanese. I had someone tell me yesterday that it would
cost $200-300 per page. Is this realistic?
Those of you who have worked with Asian language translators,
are translators cheaper in the U.S. or in the country of origin
(whatever country that may be)?
