ELSS defines a page as 200 English words for editing or English to Japanese translation; or as 400 moji including spaces and punctuation for Japanese to English translation. All prices exclude sales tax.
- In unusual cases with extremely difficult English, we may add a surcharge to the above Editing (English) rates. Checking of the text in figures, figure captions, table headings and notes is charged based on the word count in these materials, unless there is an unusually large number of figures or tables. Specifically, checking based on word count is available at no additional charge for up to 2 figures and tables per page of the manuscript. If there are more than 2 figures and tables per page, then 1 additional page will be added to the bill (seikyusho) for each 3 figures and tables (or portion thereof) above 2 figures and tables per page of the document.
- Weekends, Japanese national and ELSS holidays excluded.
- Jobs that exceed these limits will have the deadlines for that class of service extended by 1 day for each 15 p of editing or 6 p of translation (or portion thereof).
※Translations to and from some other languages are possible; contact us for further details.
