Translation costs for all the EU institutions/bodies 1952 - 2025 : 73 years
A rough estimation with an unknown degree of certanty. The approach is to estimate one yearly-lang-cost (90) and multiply by the translation-years (854). The yearly-lang-cost is the same for every year; refinements are needed to differentiate years.
456 M. 2003 cost after adding the direct and grey translation (10.0%) to the base cost (414.19). 41 M. Per language cost in 2003 value. 63 M. Per language cost in 2025 value. Inflation: 53.19%. 90 M. Per language cost for all EU/institutions/bodies. 854 Translation-years from 1952 to 2025. 77 B. Total estimation for all EU institutions/bodies. Euros. M:millions. B:billions.
