What does the price of a translation depend on?

The price of a translation depends on various factors, including the source and target languages, the subject, the level of difficulty, how urgently it is needed, etc. 

There are short, uncomplicated texts that do not require any special knowledge. And there are complex technical texts that call for thorough familiarity with one or more fields. Advertising projects are very time-consuming. All of these things influence the price.
