Trois modèles de tarification, trois factures différentes
Comparing quotes across these models is the part people get wrong. They do not charge for the same thing.
Payer une agence au mot
- 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.
Créer un second site par langue
- 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.
Ajouter une couche de traduction devant votre site
- 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.
Ce que cela coûte ici
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.
Questions sur les coûts
Cela dépend entièrement du modèle parmi les trois que vous choisissez. Une agence facture au mot source par langue, le coût augmente donc avec le nombre de pages et se répète à chaque publication. Créer un site distinct par langue nécessite un temps de développement initial, puis multiplie votre maintenance indéfiniment. Une couche de traduction est un abonnement mensuel basé sur le volume de contenu — Proxylang est gratuit pour vos 2 000 premiers mots, 15 $/mois pour 20 000 mots en 2 langues, et 39 $/mois pour 100 000 mots en 3 langues.
