三种定价模式，三种不同的账单
Comparing quotes across these models is the part people get wrong. They do not charge for the same thing.
按单词向代理机构付费
- 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.
为每种语言构建第二个站点
- 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.
在您的网站前添加翻译层
- 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.
此处成本
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.
成本问题
这完全取决于您选择哪种模式。代理机构按每种语言的每个源单词计费，因此成本会随着您的页面数量增加而增长，并且每次发布时都会重复计费。为每种语言构建一个独立的站点需要前期的开发时间，并且会使您的维护工作量成倍增加。翻译层是基于内容量的按月订阅制——Proxylang的前2,000个单词免费，2种语言20,000个单词每月15美元，3种语言100,000个单词每月39美元。
