Website & Article Translation into French for West African Markets
Your site speaks English. Your customers in Lomé, Abidjan and Dakar search in French.
Monthly translation of your articles, pages and newsletters — with the SEO localisation that makes them findable.
The Reality
A translated article does not rank on its own. Keywords in one language are not translations of those in the other: your best English article can become invisible in French — not for lack of quality, but because it answers no real search query.
Three subscription plans for blog and website translation
Rates excl. tax. If a formal invoice is requested, VAT is added at the applicable rate. International and institutional clients can be invoiced in EUR, USD or FCFA; payment by bank transfer or international wire (SWIFT).
Commitment: three months minimum, then month to month.
Essential
3,000 words / month · about 2 to 3 articles
Ideal to start a steady bilingual presence without overloading your editorial calendar.
Growth
6,000 words / month · about 5 to 6 articles
The pace for sites that publish every week.
Authority
10,000 words / month · blog, product pages, newsletters
Volume discount included. For continuous production and a coherent bilingual voice.
At the fixed euro rate (655.957 FCFA = €1): about €274, €549 and €869 a month.
Translating an existing site once, outside a plan: per word, 66–118 FCFA (€0.10–€0.18) — see Contracts, Reports & Audits.
SEO localisation: why a translated article does not rank alone
Priced per article, never per word: keyword research in the target language, title and H1 adaptation, meta description, slug, alt text.
| Per article up to 1,200 words | 25,000 FCFA excl. tax |
| Long-form or pillar page | 50,000 FCFA excl. tax |
SEO localisation is optional and billed per article on top of the monthly plan — about €38 or €76 at the fixed euro rate.

Volume pricing — when to choose which plan
Essential (3,000 words) fits a soft launch or a site that publishes two short posts a month. Growth (6,000 words) is the default once you post weekly. Authority (10,000 words) makes sense when the same month mixes blog posts, product pages and a newsletter — the per-word effective rate drops, and one voice covers the whole stack.
SEO localisation stays optional on every plan: add it only on the URLs you actually want to rank, not on every draft.
Worked example — one monthly editorial cycle
A Growth client sends a four-week calendar on day 1: two 900-word how-to articles, one 1,200-word comparison page and a 600-word product update (about 3,600 words). I confirm the plan fit, lock terminology against the existing glossary and deliver throughout the month in CMS-ready format. They add SEO localisation on the comparison page only (title, H1, meta, slug, alt text) — billed once at the per-article add-on rate — and keep the how-tos for social without SEO localisation. Unused words that month do not roll over; if volume spikes the following month, they step up to Authority with one month’s notice.
