How and how much to ask for a website translation job?

Question

I'm applying for this job of translating a company website. Being my first time I've got some questions:

1) Websites are to be paid by word or by translator's page?

2) How to count number of words in a website (HTML or XML file), just like one does in the average document?

3) How much would you collect by word/translator's page?

Please give advice. Your help is much appreciated

God bless you

Answer 1

As my experience before. They paid by translate's pages. But it really depends on the company i think.

When i do it before, they paid for me by the whole project, not even by pages. They paid me 100 dollar for 5 pages. Don't know it is reasonable or not, i was doing it for my friend's company.

Hope this information can help you
