What is Website Translation Cost?

What translating a site actually costs: at wholesale API rates, a 50,000-word site runs roughly $6 per language via Google.

In more depth

Formula: words × ~6 chars/word ÷ 1M × rate ($20 Google, ~$25 DeepL). Human translation runs ~$0.10–0.25/word — a different universe.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Website Translation Cost helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
