Subject: RE: proof-reading/Checking translation
[[I would prefer not having an hourly but rather just a straight charge,
but wondered if anyone could provide a ballpark? Actually, if hourly
rates are standard, I should probably base my figure on that.]]

What I do is ask for a few pages of the most complicated sections and see
what the English looks like. Then I negotiate a per-page rate. The better
the English the lower the rate, and vice-versa. If I need to see the
Japanese original to understand some of the English, the closer it comes to
translation rates.
