It takes translation quality seriously: Weglot Translate gives you an edge on your translation tasks with a two-layer approach to quality. The first layer delivers fast, reliable machine translations from best-in-class providers like DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft. The second layer is your own: full control to edit, collaborate, or order professional translations right in the interface. Or, refine translations with AI suggestions or your custom language model.
It partners with the pros: Weglot Translate lets you order from vetted professional translators directly inside your Weglot dashboard. Set your preferred translation quality with Weglot Translate.
It’s brand-aware: Generate AI translations that reflect your tone and terminology automatically and at scale with the glossary and the AI language model.

Why should you have a multilingual website?
It’s easy to forget all about other languages when setting up your online business! With the resources needed to put together a new website, multilingual capabilities are very commonly ignored, as the process of getting multiple translations can get complicated and expensive. But ignoring the importance of being multilingual can be a costly mistake: unlocking the possibility for visitors to read and interact in their own language means you’ll be significantly widening your reach, increasing your chances of business success!
This is why it’s important to think of ways to offer translations in more languages: multilingual websites naturally rank in more countries and attract more potential customers. Your visitors will also feel like you are significantly more localized by speaking to them in a language they easily understand!
But how about the cost and headache to set up a proper multilingual website offering high quality translations? This is where Weglot can make it easy: with a simple way to unlock multilingual capabilities swiftly, your website can go from targeted towards a single language to multilingual in an easy, affordable manner!
Please note that Weglot is using Cloudfront CDN to display flags images to speed up performance around the world.
The use of this CDN and of Weglot service is subject to Weglot terms of service
“Using Weglot for translations, it is easy to find content with the required phrase, changes are visible online in real time. Weglot is my translation library – finally, no additional files are needed. I appreciate the workflow and the intuitive navigation.”
Joanna Kruszewska, Marketing Assistant – Social Media and Translations, Olympus Cameras

It’s not currently possible to use several subdomains on WordPress with Weglot Translate such as de.website.com. However, Weglot uses subdirectories in your URL to separate all the multilingual versions of your website.
For example, if your website is website.com, then the French version would be website.com/fr/, same for the German version website.com/de/, and so on. This is repeated for each version of your new multilingual website. A unique URL is therefore created for each version of your multilingual web page, which is important for your SEO.
Weglot offers the same high quality of automatic translations throughout all plans, from free to enterprise. We use leading providers like DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft Translator to bring you the most accurate translations for your language pairs. You can also refine these translations, have team members edit them, or professionally translate them throughout all plans.

Long-Term PRO Customer Feedback
By 
Dear Weglot Team,
As long-term customers, we would like to share some concerns regarding ongoing technical issues and support responsiveness. Over the years, we have paid more than $10,000 into the weglot platform and are qualified to discuss this, and while we appreciate the functionality Weglot provides, several unresolved issues have created significant challenges for our workflow and clients.
Recently, we experienced an urgent production issue and provided access credentials to your support team on Friday. Unfortunately, we did not receive follow-up communication, which created setbacks for our client projects and affected our ability to deliver time-sensitive work.
Key areas of concern:
- Support responsiveness: Initial replies often take 24 hours or more, and urgent issues reported late in the week are usually not addressed until Monday, they also in the most recent support asked us over 4 times for website access - which we provided and they never used.
- Product reliability: Certain languages occasionally fail to translate correctly, and some advertised features—including Baidu indexability and CDN/edge cache compatibility—do not appear to function consistently in real-world environments. Our edge cache issue, in particular, has remained unresolved since becoming customers.
- Pricing structure: Pricing does not scale proportionally with usage. Even with discounts, the service is significantly more expensive than competing modern AI-powered translation solutions.
- Support expectations: For the level of investment required, we expect faster resolutions, improved communication, and more comprehensive assistance with complex configurations.
Recommendations:
- Pricing improvements: Introduce usage-based pricing, increased limits on lower-tier plans, or discounted renewal options for customers who do not use their full quota.
- Support enhancements: Offer faster response times for urgent tickets and consider 24/7 assistance for premium customers.
- Feature reliability: Review the functionality of CDN/edge cache integration and Baidu indexability to ensure these features work reliably under practical conditions.
We appreciate the efforts made by the support team and value the product, but we believe these improvements are important for maintaining confidence in Weglot as a premium solution. We hope this feedback can contribute to a more consistent and reliable experience for all users.
Sincerely,
Long-Term Client
Awesome Product, Great Support

Weglot provides a powerful tool for translating sites. The plugin does an excellent job of translating content, and it also allows for customizing technical terms. Recently we ran into a unique problem with displaying content. The Weglot support team worked to understand the issue, then provided a simple and easy to implement solution!
From WPML to Weglot – A Huge Performance Boost for Our WooCommerce Site
By 
We’ve been building multilingual WordPress websites for years and have completed dozens of projects using WPML. It has always been a solid choice for us. However, on our latest project – a WooCommerce e-commerce shop using Germanized – performance became a serious issue.
After a lot of testing, we decided to try Weglot. The difference was immediate.
Weglot delivered a massively better performance compared to our previous setup. We’re running the site behind AWS CloudFront, and there were a few specific configuration points we needed to clarify. The Weglot support team was fast, competent, and very solution-oriented, and together we were able to optimize everything so the translations work smoothly with our caching/CDN layer.
From our perspective, this was the turning point.
👉 Conclusion:
From today on, and for future multilingual WordPress projects, we will use Weglot as our default solution. Especially for WooCommerce sites where performance matters, Weglot is clearly the better choice.
Highly recommended.
Reliable, Fast, and Truly Helpful

The few times I have run into an issue with Weglot, their support team is consistently quick and efficient in responding. They don’t just send generic replies — they take the time to understand the problem and provide clear, actionable solutions.

Settings: just need to creat an account on WeGlot.com and add the project to dashboard, then by unique key adding it's synchronized. Simple too. The settings of plugin are trully simple to understand and to setup.
Working: It's the most powerfull plugin to translate your website in flow that I've ever used. There are a lot of not so expensive plans on WeGlot.com to use.
Support: Millions of thanks to support team, especially to Nahomy! It is a great pleasure to communicate with you. Thanks a lot to you for your help.
Can I recommend the WeGlot translation plugin! Yes, of course! It is a simple and powerfull plugin to translate your website.
