How much does translation cost per word?
$50–$400 is the range sellers actually publish for this on Fiverr — we haven't independently verified it yet.
Machine output with a human pass, versus the real thing.
Fiverr's seller tiers are public and so are their criteria. What we can't tell you yet is whether paying up actually buys you more here — that needs us to commission the work, and we haven't.

Can you just do it yourself?
We haven't assessed this one yet. When we do, the question is whether the people reaching for a template are the same people who would otherwise hire someone — if they aren't, a big DIY audience doesn't actually compete for this work.
What a ranking here would turn on
The ranking will send the same 1,200-word product page into three languages at every tier and have native speakers rate the results blind.
Four things worth settling first
None of these need us to have tested anything. They are the questions that decide whether the thing you get back is usable, and they are all cheaper to ask now than to argue about later.
- 1Confirm whether this is machine output with a human pass, or a human translation. Both are sold at these prices.
- 2Ask whether the translator is a native speaker of the target language, not the source.
- 3Send a glossary of names and terms you do not want translated.
- 4Check whether a second person proofreads, or the translator checks their own work.
“how much does translation cost per word” is not one audience
Our keyword pipeline strips these out before judging demand, because they are not people looking to hire. What is left after stripping them is the share we actually price for.

We have no ranking to offer here yet, so the honest thing is to send you to the marketplace rather than pretend otherwise. Anything outside $50–$400 is worth a second look before ordering.
