a translation work needs to undergo a few revisions ...

Sometimes, after completing a piece of translation the first time, the customer returns it back for further corrections. This process of returning back -> correction -> resubmission-to-the customer is called "iterations" or "revisions". While bidding, this factor should be borne in mind, as each iteration or revision involves further effort and time.

agree Armorel Young : looks like or is typo for of - so "number of revisions included in the bid"

agree Refugio : Yes, I think the asker is puzzled about the typo: "or" when it should be "of"

Perhaps you are right, Ruth.
agree Deborah Workman : Yes, it appears to be a typo. You are being asked to tell how many times the client may come back to you for revisions without your charging more (i.e., how many revisions are included in the fee that you quote).
