btergantung.
Outputnya apa? file word processor atau berupa halaman web juga?
yang gampang sih hitung per kata, bisa per kata teks asal atau per kata teks terjemahan. Biasanya sih per kata teks asal.
Untuk hitungnya tinggal dicopy-paste ke ms-word atau program sejenis, terus aktifkan menu hitung kata (word count).
Kalau hitung per kata teks asal bagusnya bisa langsung tahu biaya totalnya berapa. Kalau hitung per kata teks terjemahan atau per halaman terjemahan, ga bisa tahu biaya total di awal.

bIf you're professional and confident, you can charge per word ( trusted and recommended ).
Though usually, for beginner translator, it's safer to choose 'charge per page' ( not really recommended since you'll be disadvantaged )

Like a doctor, lawyer, or auto-repair-man, the rate should depends on how difficult the text is, how fast the client wants the project to be done. You should also consider your qualification and skill, and how fast you can translate and type.
You can check other translators' rate, local minimum wages (for local client's project), check how fast you can type a page of 300 words.
I used to do a simple research about this:
The range for international clients: from USD0.01 - USD2.00/word of original text.
The range for local clients: from Rp. 5.000,- - Rp. 100.000,- per translation pages. (but please note that each translator has their own specification of translation page such as: the upper-bottom-left-right margins, font size, space, and font type).
Also note that some translators with cheap rate provide low quality translations. Some even dare to provide translation services only by means of machine translation.
What I always did is: ask the client to provide me the whole/part of the text to be translated so that I can review the difficulty.
I will try to translate up to 1-2 pages translation while keeping up with the time, therefore I could estimate the length of time needed for me to complete the project, and how much should I charge for the translation as I have also decided how much money I want to be paid for an hour translating.

There is, and there will always be a chance. You just have to contemplate whether you are quite competent to translate, and look for the chance. First, ask for others' opinion about your skill.

Every translators may join
There are some requirements you have to fulfill.
You have to send the application form with the example of your translation works (in files through email) also some certificates, etc which support your status as translator.
Then the organization would decide whether you may join or not.
I think you have so many experiences, so it will be good to join, Sis.
There's a membership cost IDR 200.000 which paid annually.

hi Red my girl,
Actually still there's a chance for you to do translation work even if you're in Middle School.
Honestly, we got some problem here in real world, related with your condition:
1. Less clients believed to a Junior High Schooler. Although I can say your English is excellent, it's difficult to convince people from your position.
2. You will get so many problems related with payment procedure because of your status.
How to solve the problem?
1. You can try to be apprentice to a senior translator in your area. From my experience, they love to work with youth people with great skill as you. Mrs. Sofia Mansoor, one of the best translators in Indonesia also live in Bandung. FYI, my translator-partner is also still in college
[COLOR="White"]and she's cute too2. You can try to offer your service to your closest environment, such as family and relatives. They trust you more, so it won't be any problem because of your student status
I hope that helps
Don't give up to reach your dream :thumbup
Last but not least, I truly will visit you when I go to Bandung later

Are there really such translators outta there? I daresay that they're prideless. I'm not being cocky to call them like that, though. I myself have so many flaws in translating. But come on, how could people who just rely on machine translation call themselves translator at all? Everyone, even a third grader can do it. So there's no point on attempting to be a translator just by relying on such machine translations.

Is it true? I know a student in my PPL place (don't know how to say that in English) whose English skill parallels mine. I didn't say that my English skill is good, though. I meant, I'm a translator myself, and he has English skill which parallels mine (so his English skill is far beyond his classmates and I know that too because I'm familiar with them). So, does he have any chance to be a translator as well?

Hmm, I think you have to consider their economic ability.
Feel free to ask the reasonable rate related with their condition.
I suggest you
Quote:
Eng >-- Ind = IDR 7.000 per page
Ind >-- Eng = IDR 10.000 per page
I know some advanced translators from Palembang, but I don't know whether there's any translator community or not

Ow Monox, I didn't say that they don't have skill.
Even I said the same thing as you (I believe Red's English is superior for a Junior High Schooler)
In reality, I should say that people less believe to student. They tend to believe undergraduate student or professional in this field. It made the chance (for Junior High Schooler) smaller than us who are considered more mature than them.
Anyway, I want to offer a vacancy:

Excel should be easier than using specific program

Excel is not a subtitling program. I suspect that the company is simply using Excel as a word processor. I know, I know, Excel isn't a word processor, but I have seen companies using Excel for everything.
There's a very small chance that the company is using Excel to compare your answer to a predetermined list of answers. That's also not a good way of testing your capability because I think the best way of testing you is by an interview + written test by another qualified translator.
Don't worry about it much. But do let us know how it goes on Monday. Good luck.
