I just received estimates from vendors for a 250 English word document to be translated into 7 languages, including reformatting in Frame. Range was $700-800 for that particular package. About $100 per language for that word count.
All the vendors I chatted with were quite happy to provide an estimate from the files I sent them... so I'd suggest taking the extra time to talk to several vendors so you can get an accurate range.
