I think its more a case that a poorly designed site will reflect badly on the business. Also poor english / french / german ... and so on .. won't really inspire confidence with potential clients. If ye really can't afford it I'd almost say throw links to google translate of the pages at least ye can't be blamed for the poor translations and ye can just call it an aid. Also its going to be a nightmare to keep all languages updated. I've worked on a project with 14 languages and in a way its hell having to wait for one translator or another before you can go live with the site.

They are charging professional rates
75 for 4 hours ... roughly 20euro an hour.
The class will have 1 - 4 people thats potentially 80ish euro an hour

Yet they won't get professional translators to translate the content ?
( Doesn't really reflect well on the site having poorly written content ... I know ... I've been pulled up on it before on my site by a few people )

The pricing seems a bit weird as well ... 4 weeks minimum yet ye list 1 week and 2 week ? in there ? (this is for the original poster)
