Good evening, I have just started an automotive-related technical data translation gig on Fiverr, and I'm trying to find a decent rate to charge for it to attract some customers.
What I intend to do is to take advantage of my knowledge on the field and translate workshop manuals, brochures, software or anything related to the automotive business.

So. Do you have an idea of how much to charge per word approximately? Or what services to offer besides translation?
