Pros

“You literally drop one line of JS code, and it auto-detects pretty much all your website text (static and dynamic) without breaking anything.”

César R.

Project and Operations Manager

“It made the process of turning a website multilingual much more organized and less dependent on manual work.”

Harshit R.

Backend Developer

“It saves a lot of time and makes the whole localization process feel simple and controlled.”

Harshit R.

Backend Developer

Pros

“For everyday communication, quick checks of foreign reports, and clarifying client emails, the tool reduced reliance on outside translators and sped up basic understanding.”

Camila R.

Financial Advisor

“Being able to translate both their language into English and my words into theirs allowed me to provide better care and made people feel more comfortable and understood.”

Manpreet K.

Physiotherapist

“Outside of work, I also use it while shopping, reading labels, understanding unfamiliar words, and learning about different cultures.”

Cons

“The only downside is that we have to manage multiple environments and adjust language on each one.”

Sonja O.

Product

Cons

“At times, though Google Translate has provided transparent passthrough of HTML with no issue, we have had issues with content tags not being accepted via API for Intercom, which means that formatting of tables and rich text has been lost via automatic translation. ”

Matt C.

Product and Customer Experience

“Still, the team remains cautious about security and nuances; sensitive client data is never pasted in, and some complex financial wording still needs manual review.”

Camila R.

Financial Advisor

“When the text is very specific, sometimes Google Translate is missing the context and human judgement is required.”
