About the service
Manual calculation of translation costs wastes the manager's time and frustrates clients who want to see the price immediately without waiting for an email reply. I propose developing an interactive calculator that automatically calculates the final translation cost right on your website — in seconds, without emails and unnecessary calls.
The client selects a language pair, specifies the text volume (in pages, words, or uploads a file for automatic counting), marks the subject matter — legal, technical, medical, literary, and so on, each with its own complexity coefficient. Separate toggles add notarization and urgency options — from standard timeframe to same-day translation. The final price is recalculated on the fly when any parameter changes, and the result can be immediately sent as an inquiry to the manager.
I write the calculator in pure JavaScript with a lightweight PHP handler on the server side, so it integrates quickly into an existing website without engine changes and doesn't require a separate database. All rates and coefficients are placed in a separate settings file — you can change prices yourself, without consulting a programmer. The design adapts to mobile devices and matches your site's color scheme.
What's included in development:
— tariff table by language pairs with editing capability;
— price gradation by text volume and automatic word count from uploaded files;
— coefficients by translation subject matter;
— notarization and urgency options with surcharges;
— responsive layout for desktop and mobile devices;
— simple panel for independent tariff changes;
— integration of finished block into current website;
— testing in major browsers and on different screens;
— brief instruction on use and configuration.
