With all respect for all the people who said comments, i like to express my personal opinion, i`m a qualified translator Spanish-Arabic Arabic-Spanish, i get a salary 3000 QR. for a full time work, and if i translate (part time) any legal or technical, political document, etc.... i just take between 10-15 QR per page.

i`m talking seriously & honestly that my salary (3000 QR)it`s like package including every thing such as accommodation, transportation, etc.

So i think that the translator work here is very bad paid, and sometimes i think it will better for me to work a as a foreman or a driver that may be i will earn more money.

Here in Bahrain they charge by the page - one page of any laguage is the equivalent of QR100/- so based on that I think they deserve a good salary

I would say 3000 -7000Qr for part time basis. I think hourly is more reasonable, 100Qr seems pretty high as there are many in supply.

It depends on the level of translation complexity you expect. If you want a translator for a day to day language then at least 100 QR per hour, if you want to translate a legal or technical document, then 300 QR per hour is expected.
