Weglot provides a solid suite of tools, but expect to pay for it
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Weglot allows us to provide our website content (text and documents) in a variety of languages for families within our school district who do not speak English as their first language. As a public school, we always try to meet our families needs where we can, and having a translation system in place really aids us in supporting non-native speakers.
Pros
- Automatic translations across a wide variety of languages
- Ability to make custom translations to better clarify phrases
- Dynamic swapping of resources like pdfs based on language
- Good analytics on use
Cons
- Price model is very poor for larger websites who produce content regularly
- Price model is also poor for multiple language options (ie, each language translation is a separate cost)
- Customer service isn't very helpful (non-US based company)
Likelihood to Recommend
Weglot is great for a small static website that doesn't have frequent content updates. It is also good for businesses that want to look at only a single language translation. It tends to fall apart when you either have a larger, growing website or multiple languages that you want to translate for. We had the system cut out several times when we first launched due to it repeatedly hitting our translation cap, with little or no warning from the vendor. Once it happened during a critical communication time.
