Cost

Was eine Website-Übersetzung tatsächlich kostet

There is no single answer, because the three ways of getting a site into another language charge for completely different things. Here is what each one bills you for, how it grows, and which one fits.

Drei Preismodelle, drei verschiedene Rechnungen

Comparing quotes across these models is the part people get wrong. They do not charge for the same thing.

Agentur pro Wort bezahlen

What you are billed for
A rate per source word, per target language, plus project management and a review round. Quoted per project.
How it scales
Linearly, and then again every time you publish. A page rewritten in March is a new invoice in March.
When it is the right call
One or two markets where the copy has to be rewritten rather than translated, and where the wording carries real commercial weight.
What to check in the quote
The quote covers the pages in the brief. Everything published afterwards — blog posts, new products, updated policies — is out of scope and quietly drifts back into your source language.

Zweite Website pro Sprache erstellen

What you are billed for
Design and development time, then a second content system to keep populated, then hosting for each.
How it scales
Worst of the three. Every language multiplies the maintenance, not just the build.
When it is the right call
Markets where the offering itself is genuinely different — different products, different pricing, different legal entity.
What to check in the quote
The build is the small part. The recurring cost is that every change now has to be made two, three or five times, by somebody who reads each language.

Eine Übersetzungsebene vor Ihre Website schalten

What you are billed for
A monthly subscription based on how much content you translate and how many languages you serve.
How it scales
With content volume, not with page count or publishing frequency. New pages translate themselves.
When it is the right call
Any number of markets where the offering is the same and the site is the same, which is most businesses going international for the first time.
What to check in the quote
Read how words are metered. Some services re-count the same words every month; on Proxylang a translated word is stored permanently and paid for once.

Was es hier kostet

Words are counted once. A word you translated last year is still served this year without being metered again.

Not sure how many words your site has? The word counter gives you the figure, and it is the same figure every per-word quote you receive will be calculated from. The full plan list goes beyond the four above.

Fragen zu den Kosten

Es hängt ganz davon ab, welches der drei Modelle Sie wählen. Eine Agentur berechnet pro Quellwort pro Sprache, sodass die Kosten mit der Anzahl Ihrer Seiten steigen und jedes Mal anfallen, wenn Sie etwas veröffentlichen. Das Erstellen einer separaten Website pro Sprache kostet vorab Entwicklungszeit und vervielfacht dann für immer Ihren Wartungsaufwand. Eine Übersetzungsebene ist ein monatliches Abonnement basierend auf dem Content-Volumen — Proxylang ist kostenlos für Ihre ersten 2.000 Wörter, 15 $ im Monat für 20.000 Wörter in 2 Sprachen und 39 $ im Monat für 100.000 Wörter in 3 Sprachen.
