Literature translation fees

The literature translations are usually paid by character amount. According to the practice prevalent in the industry, the fee unit for character-based fees is one thousand characters. In this case, characters mean the characters included in the Unicode standard, which includes also spaces.

In addition to character fees, the translations of novels are paid by total fees, secondary fees and sheet fees, in which the fee unit is a printed sheet of 32,000 characters.
