Drie prijsmodellen, drie verschillende facturen
Comparing quotes across these models is the part people get wrong. They do not charge for the same thing.
Betaal een bureau per woord
- 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.
Bouw een tweede site per taal
- 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.
Plaats een vertaal-laag voor je 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.
Wat het hier kost
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.
Kostenvragen
Het hangt er volledig vanaf welk van de drie modellen je kiest. Een bureau rekent per bronwoord per taal, dus de kosten schalen mee met je aantal pagina's en herhalen zich telkens wanneer je publiceert. Het bouwen van een aparte site per taal kost vooraf ontwikkeltijd en vermenigvuldigt vervolgens voor altijd je onderhoudslast. Een vertaal-laag is een maandelijks abonnement op basis van de hoeveelheid content — Proxylang is gratis voor je eerste 2.000 woorden, $15 per maand voor 20.000 woorden in 2 talen, en $39 per maand voor 100.000 woorden in 3 talen.
