Croatian to English translation
Croatian to English translation is a specialised combination: Croatian has around 7M speakers and is official in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Croatian uses Latin script with diacritics (č, ć, đ, š, ž) and differs from Serbian and Bosnian in vocabulary and spelling.
Indicative freelance rates for central & eastern european languages run from about $0.07 to $0.15 per word for general commercial work; specialised, certified and urgent jobs cost more, and literary translation is usually paid per 1,000 words.
