3つの料金モデル、3つの異なる請求
Comparing quotes across these models is the part people get wrong. They do not charge for the same thing.
翻訳会社に単語単位で支払う
- 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.
言語ごとに2つ目のサイトを構築する
- 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.
サイトの前面に翻訳レイヤーを設置する
- 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.
ここでのコスト
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.
コストに関する質問
コストは、3つのモデルのどれを選択するかによって全く異なります。翻訳会社は言語ごとの原文単語数に応じて料金を請求するため、ページ数が増えるほどコストが上がり、公開するたびに費用が発生します。言語ごとに別サイトを構築する場合は、最初に開発コストがかかり、その後のメンテナンスコストが永続的に増大します。翻訳レイヤーはコンテンツ量に基づいた月額サブスクリプションです — Proxylangは、最初の2,000単語までは無料、2言語で20,000単語なら月額15ドル、3言語で100,000単語なら月額39ドルです。
