Here's the way I managed to get paid once, under a somewhat similar scenario. In this case, I discovered the end client had posted my translation online, with some changes but close enough that it was still clearly my work.
I advised the non-paying agency that since I had not been paid I still owned the copyright to the translation. Therefore, posting my work online was digital piracy, a criminal offence.

Yes, I have been paid after a blueboard entry.
The manager did contact me the same day and make a banktransfer. This was already in 2016 though.

Andrea, Maija, John, Tom for commenting on my last entry!
@Andrea - you're right, both seem to be unnecessary. I will get in touch with your contact next week and ask for help in this case.
Wish you all a nice weekend!
