I have some difficulty answering that question. The cost indicators for translation are volume, the number of notices and the length of the texts. Are we talking about texts of 300, 500 or 1,000 words? We need to look into this with our colleagues from Job Bank. We must also take the deadlines into account, as they said. Four hours is a cost indicator, because it would take many translators to produce such a volume of work in four hours. Even using technology, the cost is about two million dollars.
