Background of the issue:
I am trying to understand the relatively high bills we have been receiving compared to the number of translations we have received. This month, we have been billed around $150.
Symptoms:
High bills compared to the number of translations received.
Questions:
Could you please send me a detailed overview of the invoices for this month?
Not really, I’m afraid. In October, we posted about 5–7 articles in 3 languages, and some in up to ten languages. The bill was $174, which is quite high. It would actually be cheaper to hire a freelancer to do it.
You have translated the same articles ten times every month and the corrections I have done myself since your system did not catch them.
I also noticed that it looks like you’ve charged the same amount twice — $74. Could you please check that?
Thanks for your reply. Please clarify the questions below.
1. 5–7 articles in 3 languages, and some in up to ten languages. The bill was $174, which is quite high. May I know which Website you are working on for this, and may I know the name of the page/post?
2. I also noticed that it looks like you’ve charged the same amount twice — $74. Could you please check that? May I know which Website you are working on for this, and may I know the name of the page/post?

Answer: I’m not as familiar with your system as you are, and I’ve lost track again since uyesterday — but as far as I remember, examples of articles that have been translated multiple times include:

Answer: All three websites are under the same WPML.org account, so I don’t understand the question.
We can see on our bank account that you have withdrawn the amount twice fr months. You should be able to see the same in your own system.
Thanks for your patience. My apologies for the delay.
I've checked both pages below and I can see multiple completed translations. hidden link hidden link
I'm not sure what's causing the multiple delivered translations and could you please share WP admin access here so that I can check before I escalate this further to our 2nd Tier Support?
Let's check this domain first hidden link
