Weglot auto translate
Why you want it:
Weglot is your passport to instant website translation. What sets it apart? You're not just bound by machine translations – you have the freedom to fine-tune the content, ensuring it's not only accurate but also reads naturally. Plus, Weglot works its magic for Simplified and Traditional Chinese within mainland China, a feature you won't find with Google Translate where it's not supported.
Weglot also has a significant SEO advantage over Google Translate. For example, when you activate the Chinese language via subdomain implementation, your translated website will be visible in search engine results when users search in that language. This advantage extends to the iframe implementation as well, where having Weglot enabled on your parent site ensures that customers automatically view the appropriate language.
Pricing:
While Weglot is a paid service, it offers a Starter plan—perfect if you're sticking to a single language. Keep in mind the 2,000-word limit on the free account might leave you wanting more if you're aiming to conquer multiple languages. Weglot's pricing is also in US dollars ($).
How to get it:
Getting started is a breeze! Visit Weglot's website, pick the plan that suits your needs, and complete the sign-up process. Once you're on board, follow the steps below to generate your Weglot API key and send it to us. We'll seamlessly integrate it into your E-Commerce and/or Check-in pages.
Our in-house web developer is also available to guide you through the implementation of Weglot. Additional subdomains will be required for each language. If you have trouble setting this up internally, our team may need access to your domain console.
Please allow 3 to 4 hours of chargeable configuration time for this service for the initial translation and an additional 2 to 3 hours for each additional language.
