Before asking for a translation quote, look at the market rates. Translation agencies that have a website often post their prices. So look around, and then you get the quote, you'll know if it's appropriate or not.
I don't know the current rates, but when I was translating freelance, I charged EUR 0.06 a word from Spanish to French, and then the agency charged EUR 0.08 or EUR 0.09.
