It depends on many factors. First, the linguist experience. Second, type of the Translation provider. Third, Subject Matter of the translation in question. International rates varies on those factors and can range between0. until0. USD per new word, Fuzzies, repetitions and Gold match have different price.

first of all, it depends on many or various factors, one of them is the qualifications that the freelancer has, the other one is the type of document or contest that should be translated, however if it is legal, academic or any else so I think according to the European range is for word like 10 cents per word.

Arabic English freelancers are usually paid per word counting, i.e each words for USD.

It is better for freelancer to be paid per word counting, because he/she may take longer time to tanslate the document and send it back to you. If he/she is paid by a salary then he/she should committed with you as an employee not as a freelancer , because freelancers don't have a fixed time.

It depends on the type of the text, for example technical translation costs more than general translation because it needs more research and time, and the rate is better to be per word.
