If you run a web agency, you've probably translated a few client sites. Maybe you've used Weglot, WPML, or Google Translate. And if you've looked at the pricing when managing 5, 10, or 20 client sites — you know it adds up.
This guide is specifically for agencies who want to:
- Offer multilingual websites as a service to clients
- Manage everything from a single dashboard
- Keep costs low (or better: turn translation into a recurring revenue stream)
The Agency Problem with Most Translation Tools
Most website translation tools are designed for end-users, not agencies. That means:
- One account per client — you're managing 15 separate logins
- Pricing per site — costs multiply quickly
- No white-labeling — clients see Weglot/Crowdin branding, not yours
- No reseller program — you're paying full price and billing your clients separately
The result: translation is either a cost center you absorb, or a margin-killer you pass on to clients at a premium.
What Agencies Actually Need
✅ Multi-project management from one dashboard
✅ Per-project billing you can pass to clients
✅ Simple setup with no developer time per client
✅ A tool clients can use themselves for minor edits
✅ Recurring revenue from reselling the service
LingoJs for Agencies: How It Works
LingoJs is built around projects. Each client gets their own project — isolated translations, separate languages, their own team access if needed.
For the agency:
- Manage all client projects from one account
- One JS snippet per client site, zero dev effort
- Set up a new client in under 10 minutes
- Transparent flat pricing: no surprise bills as client traffic grows
For your clients:
- Their own dashboard access to review and edit translations
- Language switcher widget that matches their brand
- Real-time translation for dynamic content
- SEO-optimized output
The Affiliate Program: Turn Clients Into Revenue
This is the part most agencies miss. LingoJs runs a 20% recurring commission program for 9 months on every client you refer.
Concretely:
- You onboard a client on the Pro plan (€49/mo) → you earn €9.80/mo for 9 months = €88 total per client
- 10 clients on Pro → €880 in affiliate revenue
- That covers your own account costs and then some
You can also bill clients directly for the service and pocket the margin — many agencies charge €80–150/mo for "multilingual website maintenance" and spend 30 minutes/month managing it.
Pricing Comparison for Agencies
| Agency with 10 client sites | Weglot | LingoJs |
|---|---|---|
| Per-project cost | €90–190/project/mo | €19–89/project/mo |
| Total monthly (10 clients) | €900–1,900/mo | €190–890/mo |
| Affiliate/reseller program | ❌ | ✅ 20% for 9 months |
| Multi-project dashboard | ✅ | ✅ |
| Setup time per client | ~30min | ~10min |
Real Setup Flow for a New Client
1. Client confirms they want a multilingual site
2. Create a new project in LingoJs dashboard (2 min)
3. Add the JS snippet to client's site (5 min)
4. Select target languages, LingoJs auto-detects all content
5. Review AI translations in dashboard, adjust if needed
6. Done — client's site is multilingual
No WPML config files. No ICU message formats. No i18n JSON files to maintain.
WordPress Clients? There's a Plugin
If most of your clients run WordPress, LingoJs has an official plugin. Install it from the WordPress plugin directory, connect with your API key, and the snippet is injected automatically. No theme editing required.
