Charging for power point translation

English to Chinese Social Sciences Medical (general)
What is the consensus for power point translation fees? Obviously charging by the word is not possible.

Discussion

On per word basis is very PLAUSIBLE and POSSIBLE. Why not? I just did one using Trados TagEditor. Word count could be easily calculated through the Analysis feature.

Finally found the option to close question w/o grading. Thanks for all the input.
To Wenjer: Of course I want a good rate otherwise I should do it for free :)

I am going to decline all answers. There was an option for closing the question without grading but now it is not available. So I am declining all answers in order to close this

I didn't know discussing rates is not allowed. I never read the rules... Thanks for this.

Oops! Somebody did it first. There was a question regarding proofreading fee.

Hi Billy,

I am afraid that forum is a better place for you to get proper answers.

Just for your info, I work out a quote by using my rate per word, and then I add a dollar amount per slide.
Peer comment(s):

agree Angus Woo : It's better to discuss this in private. BTW, it's against the forum's rule to discuss rates.

agree Wenjer Leuschel (X) : With Angus. On what it is mostly lied about? Exactly! Money and sex. So, no discussion about rates. Either you got a good one or a bad one.

suggestion:

1.

U can charged the PP file by page, as most common way in the mainland.

2. U can charged the PP file by words.

the precise way is copy the text into the word to get the number of the words.

a way of not so precise is see the attribute of the file by right-click the PP file,the number is not so precise, but you can know the approcimate number
