YIDDISH TRANSLATIONS
​
Bringing your family history alive,
one letter at a time

PRICING
Nobody likes a website without prices. However, no two translation tasks are the same. Pricing depends on the legibility of the handwriting, the number of different handwritings used across the documents, and the volume of the work.
Feel free to send a sample or two of the materials you are interested in having translated, and I will get back to you with a quote, usually within 24 hours.
​
Ballpark estimates of per-page fees (an average page is cca. 200 words) for Yiddish translations are below.
​
In case you have a larger batch of letters but are unsure if you'd like to have all of them translated, I can review them a set fee and draw up a list with the following details on each letter:
​
-
date
-
place
-
author(s)
-
addressee(s)
​
This helps prioritize translation tasks and make the best use of your budget, particularly if you choose to be selective in which letters you'd like to have translated initially, leaving others for a later date.
