Dmitri

P.S. These TBs are then checked an approved by internal specialists (no translators, mostly engineers, who adapt entries to their \"internal\" terminology). They are a \"separate\" job and do not constitute an \"excuse\" for a discount on my rate for translating the files they are taken from.

I\'d say, charge your client your regular per-word rate. Charging per line is another option.
