Executive

Bad customer support, can't even re-isue an invoice that was already sent out... crazy, we live in 2024.

Their support takes more then 48 hours to respond, often without offering assistance and requesting the same information again and again.

Editor

We had a problem with our website where we deployed Weglot. When we contacted the Weglot support they were really helpful and patiently saw us through the necessary steps to configure everything the way we need it.

Seamless experience, easy to use and implement and those few times we needed support they were there for us in less than 24h, without any complicated ticketing tools...

I also appreciate the efficiency of the AI that reflects on the SEO performances and the availability and speed of support.

Customer Education Ops

I don't know if it comes directly from WeGlot, but words that aren't displayed on the pages are continually being translated, taking up part of the consumption (number of words), and I have to delete them all the time.

The ease of use and setup are unmatched in my opinion, compared to other offerings on the market.

Their Support Team told us we needed to White List the plugin, which caused our site to quickly crash and the pages not to load.  

Primary

Results on website look good and translations are accurate.

Customer service is very quick, personable and responsive.

Their support team just stopped communicating with us and have refused to close and refund us.

Head of Marketing

The platform and software itself functions well: for a small company like ourselves this is great for rolling out multiple languages.

The support was not answering my specific questions and denied the referral to a resales engineer or someone with more of a technical background

Translation quality is similar to Google translate so you definitely need to get everything rewritten though.

Ecommerce & Marketing Manager

The ability to overwrite translations when necessary and provide image translations was critical to our single storefront use with BigCommerce.

I was trying to understand possibilities of moving from another Wordpress woo commerce translation tool to Weglot.

Owner

Instead of duplicating all the subpages of the website, after that giving it to a translator, implement the translations, you can do all that with almost 1-click.

A bit expensive when you are trying to have more than 5 languages

Weglot helps us translate the website in English and sell internationally even if only have one website at the moment !

Web Programmer

Some sections were either automatically excluded from translation or not translated at all and had to manually update the translations for these sections.

Energy Healer

I'm not quite pleased with the automated translation as it doesn't translate the sentences well but I'm just grateful that I can manually add my own translation.

E-commerce manager

I do not yet totally understand how consumption is calculated. Once the translation is done, that you have 1 or 1.000.000 views, it should not differ in rate so much.

Creative Director

It solved the problem of having to duplicate the website twice to integrate 2 new languages.

Junior Marketing Manager

I like that i dont have to translate new content manually when i add new content to the my page.

Sometimes you have to do a second reload in the visual editing mode. But, hey, that is whining at a high level.

Graphic & Web Designer

The automatic translations are sometimes a pitty, and the visual editor is sometimes a bit tricky

Mental Performance Consultant

I feel like it is an added value for anyone's website.

Sure, a native speaker will notice the difference, but, hey, you can easily change every sentence manually in the editor.

Digital Communiactor

For a non-coder like me, what I like most about Weglot is how easy it is to integrate to your website and use. But what makes Weglot stand out, is their 5-star support.

Managing consultant

The integration process seemed simple enough, but I came across some issues and I  needed to contact Weglot support in order to get everything working.

Head of Online-Marketing

I had massive problems implementing the country flags for mobile devices.

I would like to have more configurable design options for the language switcher.

President

Useful for my customer base and type of business to better communicate with customers

ILLUSTRATOR

Weglot help you to manage a multilanguage website with zero effort and without advanced technical knowledge. Plus, the customer support is amazingly quick, kind and very effective.

Trustee

There was one glitch in the pre-population of auto translation, but it was immediately resolved by their team.

Chief Technical Officer

The lack of subdirectories was one aspect but they've fixed it (it's currently in beta).

Founder

Also they don't try to translate fixed expressions that you want to keep in English.

Service has been quick to respond when I had issues with the DNS settings, probably the most difficult part.

After trying multiple providers for our international clientele, Weglot offers the best package.

Director

I need to translate two web sites I have monetised my knowledge and gone international

Managing Director

Not as easy to use as I'd like. When you exceen the word limited it is challenging to reduce the translated text

Web Developer

The documentation is a little vague and made it hard to get started

The translations are fairly high quality with minimal overrides required.

Weglot also translates the content inside the online courses, which is great.

founder

With Weglot, contents can be translated effectively and efficiently.

Weglot is easy to implement on a website, and it automatically translates most of the elements of the website.

Frankly speaking: the translation, which the translator did, has not differed greatly from the machine translation.

The ease of use to accomplish multi-language functionality on a single storefront.

Freelance translator

I use Smartcat often and like the fact that it's user friendly and allows to manage projects and translations easily.

It's an easy CAT to use, makes managing TMs and TBs quite easy.

Freelance Translator

Shortcuts could be better, you cannot see hidden characters, cannot add specific tags (upper/lower index, etc.), most translators tend to work without touching the mouse, this software makes you break this habit, which is annoying (one second each segment means many minutes/hours in the long run), not very smart navigation within the segment (double down moves you to the end of the segment which is terrible if you just need to edit something in the third line of this segment, etc.)

DGM Marketing

Productivity services help you use OCR and machine translation. If you complete your profile to 100% and get at least three ratings, you will get regular work from businesses worldwide.

translator

I hope there is opportunity to integrate database with other similar translation platform, but it sounds not.

It is a pity for a translator that each new platform has to create new database.

Translator

The only aspect of Smartcat which leaves something to be desired is the support, as it takes them a lot of time to respond to emails even though they are always polite and willing to help.

Smartcat helps you focus on their translation by splitting files into sentences without worrying about formatting.

Manager

They are trying to get rid of translation companies which is very sneaky because we are the ones that helped build this software over the years by providing feedback and funding the software.

You can also set your pay rates to filter clients who meet the minimum price quoted.

Freelancer Translator

Also, it works as a whole project management system, where you can contact/hire translators, organize different language pairs in a same project and track each file status.
