Hello everybody

A Swiss Agency tells me in a Purchase Order that my Honorar for a translation is CHF .8/NZ. I don't understand how much is that, and what is NZ... How much is that in euros?
Thanks in advance for any help

Best Regards

pro Normzeile Jun 17, 2021

I'd say that's "CHF 0.8 pro Normzeile", ie. per standard line of text.

Normzeile can be everything between 50 Jun 17, 2021

and (rarely) 65 characters with spaces, which is quite astonishing, despite its name.
You need to ask them.

Thanks Jun 17, 2021

Hi Christel and Thomas

Now I understand a bit more. I have already asked them, no answer so far.

Thanks a lot to you both

Kind Regards

A standard line is 55 characters incl. spaces for a lot of Swiss agencies, but you should check with them.
