Work out translation word count cost instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Translation is priced per source word, discounted for content already in the translation memory. Twelve thousand words at 0.12 with 25% matched at a 70% discount gives a weighted count of 9900 words and a cost of 1188 rather than 1440 - a 252 saving and an effective rate of 0.099 per word.
Weighted word count
weighted = new words + matched words x (1 - discount)
Cost
