Translation pricing is dependent on three variables; the language in question, the degree of difficulty of the text and the desired delivery time.  So, common languages like English and Spanish are cheaper than German and French, which in turn are cheaper than Russian, Norwegian or Greek.  Legal or technical texts are more expensive than material in normal everyday language.  If a translation is needed in a hurry, it may cost a little more.  The price is based on the word count of the source text.
