About $100 dollars per thousand words, if you are a professional translator - if it was a very difficult scientific or legal text, charge more; if it was very simple [children's book, recipes, straightforward everyday vocab] charge less. The fact that you write the pronoun /i/ without capitalising it, that you write /English/ and /Spanish/ without capitals, and that you write /its/ - the equivalent of / it is / without an apostrophe/ it's/ , makes me think that you are not a professional. Sloppiness lowers the value of your translation by making the client doubtful of your accuracy. You'll be lucky to get $75.

The charges depends upon the quality of the work and also if you a certified translator and you change more than the non certified translator. But again the prices varies upon the cruciality of the text. It increase if the text is scientific or legal and vice via.
