HOW WE COUNT
How BKMOS Calculates a Source Page
BKMOS normally prices document translation by the number of source pages containing content.
We do not automatically convert every project into a fixed 300-word page.
02
Word & PowerPoint Files
Page count is reviewed from the version supplied at quotation. Material content or layout changes may require re-confirmation.
03
Excel, Drawings & Complex Forms
Dense tables, engineering drawings, large-format pages and unusual layouts are reviewed separately before pricing.
Quick budget formula
Number of source pages × language rate + certification, additional copies, delivery and special requirements where applicable.
CERTIFIED DOCUMENTS
What Is Included in a Certified Translation Quote?
When a document requires certification or another formal processing step, the total price may contain
several separate components. BKMOS confirms the applicable items after reviewing the document and its intended use.
1
Translation Fee
Source pages × the agreed language rate, adjusted where specialist content requires separate review.
2
Certification Fee
Determined by the document type, required procedure and agreed processing arrangement.
3
Additional Copies
Applied when you need more than the number of hard-copy sets included in the agreed scope.
4
Delivery & Extras
Courier, color printing, special formatting or urgent handling are listed separately where required.
The expression “notarized translation” is commonly used by clients, but the legally appropriate procedure
can vary by document, receiving authority and intended country of use. See our
Certified & Notarized Translation
page for more detail.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Translation Pricing FAQs
Does BKMOS charge by page or by word?
BKMOS generally calculates document translation according to source pages containing content rather than automatically converting every file to a fixed 300-word page. Complex digital content or unusual formats may be quoted differently.
Are certification fees included in the language table?
No. The table shows reference translation fees. Certification, additional copies, delivery, special formatting and other project-specific costs are confirmed separately where applicable.
Why can two documents with the same number of pages have different prices?
Language direction, technical complexity, content density, source-file quality, formatting requirements and deadline can all affect the final quotation.
Can I send a photograph or scan to receive a quote?
Yes. Clear scans or photographs are normally sufficient for an initial review. Images should show the full page and all content clearly.
Will the price change after I approve the quote?
If the source files and requirements remain unchanged, BKMOS works within the agreed scope. If you add pages, change the deadline or request additional services, any new cost is confirmed before the additional work proceeds.
How much does a specialized translation cost?
The table can be used for initial budgeting, but legal, financial, medical, technical, engineering and other terminology-heavy projects are reviewed before the final rate is confirmed.
