Yup, when I used to get materials translated every agency I ever worked with charged by the word.

Not all languages are the same rate.

Dutch was the most expensive for us.

EDIT: for what it's worth, this is not an area to cheap out on. It is one of those deals where most of the time you get what you pay for. Not saying that an average rate is going to produce an inferior product but more so that the cheapest is usually not a good value proposition.

Finding one with specific industry experience should be a factor in who you choose.

You don't want to be trying to explain what a framastat is.
