That is what I would do. I would quote for the number of words/characters, and also quote for several hours of DTP/layout work on the translated document.
Since the formatting is not usually perceived to be high-value added work, I usually suggest that it will be cheaper for the client or the end client to perform that part themselves.

Thanks for the reply. I am actually asking for someone else, so it's a second hand info, but I think the way it works with that client is that the price is predetermined for the entire job.
