The issue is not one of difficulty. They usually charge by the word, if not for the actual translation, then for the DTP.

Just wondering how big a factor translation issues really are....

1) Isn't it the translator's job to figure out how to most effectively restate what I've written for their target audience?
2) If a person doesn't understand English well enough to figure out the syntax of a "To do" introductory phrase... do they have any hope of understanding the actual procedure?
