Rates for Temple Internal Requests

The CLA Translation Institute (CTI) is committed to keeping high-quality translation, interpretation, and editing services within reach. Below is our current fee schedule for internal Temple University requests. Rates vary by service type and are calculated using the guidelines listed here.

Units whose budgets do not accommodate these rates are encouraged to contact CTI regardless. We are sometimes able to provide services at no cost for grant-funded Temple projects, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss what arrangement may be feasible.

Translation

8¢ – 12¢ per English word

Rate depends on language pair, subject matter, and turnaround time. Applies to flyers, web pages, blog posts, promotional materials, signage, intake forms, slide decks, and other written materials.

Interpretation

$35 – $45 per hour

Rate depends on language pair, format (in-person or remote), and session length. Available on a limited basis; please submit your request as early as possible.

AI-Assisted Editing

Post-Editing

$20 per page (a page = 250 words)

For organizations that already have translated or machine-translated text and need it reviewed and refined by our team for accuracy, clarity, and cultural appropriateness. This includes post-editing of AI- and machine-generated translations (MTPE), as well as review and refinement of human-translated drafts.

Audio Transcription & Translation

Starting at $0.75 per minute

For audio and video files that need to be transcribed, translated, or both. Rate depends on audio quality, number of speakers, and turnaround time. Transcription is never machine-generated. All work is completed by our CLA Translation Institute team to ensure accuracy.
