Huh? I can understand that one's per-unit rate for proofreading is less than one's per-unit rate for translation, but why would you charge a lower hourly rate for proofreading than for translation? Surely the hourly rate should be the same for both (and you can do more proofreading work than translation work in that hour).


I would venture that Cristina meant US$15-20 for proofreading the job above (450-word rereading), not per hour.
