Artisanal activity „A1 Prevodi“ provides mainly four types of services. These are: written translations (without certification by means of a stamp of a permanent court interpreter), court translations (with certification by means of a stamp of a permanent court interpreter), language-editing services and proofreading services.

Every document which I receive from my documents constitutes a business secret. I shall never disclose contents of such a document to anyone in any case. .

As far as the translation without certification of a permanent court interpreter is concerned, the price is calculated by a page. One page contains 1800 characters, taking into account even the spaces between the characters. One such page of my translation amounts 20.00 convertible marks when I translate from Serbo-Croatian into English language. When I translate from English language into Serbo-Croatian language, the price is 15.00 convertible marks. .

As far as a translation with certification of a permanent court interpreter is concerned, the manner of calculation of a price for such a translation is slightly different. In conformity with Order on interpreters numbered 44 dated 2006, the calculation of a price for such a translation is performed in accordance with the number of lines on a page of a document. The direction of a translation from English language into Serbian language, Croatian language or Bosnian language is easier and that is why it is cheaper for the person who orders the translation. The prices have been defined by means of Order on interpreters numbered 44 dated 2006.

In line with the abovementioned information, the first 15 lines of a translation costs 8.00 convertible marks. Every additional line the permanent court interpreter is entitled to charge additional 0.75 convertible marks. So, for example, the page of 16 lines will cost: 8.00 convertible marks (for the first fifteen lines) + 1 x 0.75 (= 0.75) convertible marks for the next line = 8.75 convertible marks in total. The direction of a translation from English language into Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian languare is easier and that is why it is cheaper for the person who orders the translation. .

In line with the abovementioned information, the first 15 lines of a translation costs 10 convertible marks. Every additional line the permanent court interpreter is entitled to charge additional 0.75 convertible marks. So, for example, a translation of a page of 16 lines from Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian language into English language will cost: 10 convertible marks + 1 x 0.75 (= 0.75 convertible marks) = 10.75 convertible marks in total. . If a documents contains more than one page, the permanent court interpreter counts the lines in identical manner on the next page and calculates the amount for that page. The procedure is repeated until the permanent court interpreter reaches the end of the document. If there are more documents, the procedure is repeated with the first page of that document until it is finished with the last page of that document, namely with the number of lines, namely, the amount for the respective page. Then you obtain the total amount for the translation of the documents. .

It happens that I may be hired as a permanent court interpreter to translate orally from English language or into English language. Likewise, in line with the abovementioned provision, the tariff is established this time according to the duration of the translation. It amounts 50.00 convertible marks for every full hour of translation and 30.00 convertible marks for every started hour of translation. In the abovementioned document of the Order there is information on tariffs for the oral translation of permanent court interpreters, on the page numbered 4469.

I do not wish do lower my quality standards. I do not wish for my client to receive anything that is not how it should be. Because of all of this I do not wish to give any discounts for large quantities of text in my translations (although it is completely true that I do not charge every single line. Why? Because it seems to me that in such a way I show respect to a person who has put his/her trust in me and assigned just me to do the translation.) .

Unfortunately, I never know how long a translation of a document will take. Why? Because I never know how difficult is the pertinent document for translation, what kind of terminology is in question (since I regularly get assignments to translate documents containing professional terminology), are there any abbreviations the meaning of which I do not know. But I am not lazy and I do not procrastinate with translation. Furthermore, it happens fairly frequently that I make a dictionary in Microsoft Excel for unknown words and phrases which I deliver to the client free of charge as well if he/she expresses his/her wish for it, just to see what and how something has been translated. Then there is work on the very translation itself, then touch-up follows, then printing, affixing of the stamp, signing pages, collating and linking pages with a special band, affixing labels, two additional affixing of stamp, two signatures, calculating lines of the page or pages, making invoice, issuing invoice, issuing fiscal cash register receipt(s), entering the translation into Journal of translations, registering of a daily report into Book of daily reports. When all of this is over, I notify my client and delivery ensues..
