…well, that’s my estimate.

She charges 30 sen per word if translating English to Malay, for non-technical stuff. If it’s the other way round, it’s 5 sen more expensive. And if it’s technical and legal stuff, 10 sen more expensive.

She expects to work on 2,000 words a day. If more than that, up to 3,500 words per day, add another 30%. I would assume that works out to around RM600. If it’s a 5-day week, it would be more than RM12,000! Not bad for a one-person business, running it all from home!

She started off in 2000 and has numerous clients under her name, including very well known companies.
