Work out translation turnaround time instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
A professional translator manages 2000-3000 words a day. Twelve thousand words split between two translators takes 2.4 days, plus 0.72 days of review at 30%, giving 3.12 working days or about 4.4 calendar days including weekends. Splitting across translators speeds delivery but adds terminology reconciliation work.
Translation days
days = words / throughput / translators
Total with review
total = translation days x (1 + review share)
Roughly, but consistency suffers. Beyond three or four translators the reconciliation effort starts to outweigh the speed gain.
It is the standard TEP model allowance. Technical or regulated content often needs more, and raw machine output far more.
