Weglot Review 2026: Features, Pricing, and Who It Fits

Weglot is a website translation service that detects the text on your site, translates it with machine translation, and shows each language on its own URL. Our verdict: it is one of the quicker ways to make a WordPress, Shopify or other site multilingual without writing code, but the price is tied to how many words and languages you translate, so costs rise as your site grows. Visit Weglot to see the current plans.

What Weglot is and who it is for

Weglot connects to your site, finds your content and produces a first-draft translation in more than 110 languages. You can then edit that draft yourself, invite teammates or translators, or order professional translation from inside the dashboard. Translations are stored on Weglot’s servers rather than in your own database.

It suits small business sites, online shops and agencies that want a second or third language live quickly and do not want to maintain duplicate pages by hand. It is a weaker fit if you need very large volumes of text translated into many languages on a tight budget, because plan limits are based on word counts.

Key features

  • Machine translation first draft: Weglot says it uses providers such as Microsoft, DeepL and Google to create the initial translation.
  • Visual editor: review and edit translations on a live preview of your site, plus a searchable translation list.
  • Glossary: set terms, brand names and product names so they are translated consistently.
  • Multilingual SEO: language-specific URLs as subdirectories (for example /fr/) or subdomains, automatic hreflang tags, and translated titles and meta descriptions.
  • Automatic detection: new pages and changed content are picked up and translated without manual exports.
  • Language switcher and redirection: a switcher is added to your site, and visitors can be sent to a language based on their browser settings.
  • Platform support: a WordPress plugin that supports WooCommerce and common page builders such as Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder, plus other content management systems.

Pricing

Weglot publishes prices in euros and shows US dollar estimates that depend on the exchange rate when you subscribe. The table uses euros, excludes VAT, and shows the monthly-billing price with the yearly total in the next column. Checked October 2026; confirm on the official pricing page before buying.

PlanPer month (monthly billing)Per year (annual billing)Translated wordsLanguages
FreeEUR 0EUR 02,0001

AdvancedEUR 299EUR 2,9901,000,00010
ExtendedEUR 699EUR 6,9905,000,00020

There is also a Pro plan at EUR 79 per month that adds multisite management, and an Enterprise tier with custom pricing. A 10-day free trial is available. If your site has fewer than 2,000 words once the trial ends, you can stay on the free plan with one translated language; above that, translation stops until you upgrade.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Fast setup with no code and no duplicate pages to manage.
  • Good built-in multilingual SEO basics, including hreflang and translated metadata.
  • Editing tools that let non-developers fix translations on the live preview.
  • Works with WooCommerce and popular WordPress page builders.
  • A free plan for very small sites.

Cons

  • Pricing is driven by word count and language count, so large or fast-growing sites can move up tiers quickly.
  • The Starter plan covers only one translated language.
  • Machine translation still needs a human check for important pages.
  • Your translations live on Weglot’s servers, so you depend on the service staying active.

Alternatives

  • TranslatePress: a WordPress-only multilingual plugin, worth comparing if you do not need support for other platforms.
  • WPML: a long-established WordPress multilingual plugin, aimed at sites that want to manage translated content inside WordPress.
  • Polylang: another WordPress multilingual plugin, often considered for simpler sites.

Compare current pricing and features for each on their own sites before deciding, as they work differently from Weglot’s hosted approach.

FAQ

Does Weglot work outside WordPress?

Yes. Weglot says it works with any content management system and web technology, and it also offers a WordPress plugin.

Can I edit the machine translations?

Yes. You can edit them in the visual editor, assign them to teammates or translators, or order professional translation from the dashboard.

Will translating my site help my search rankings?

Nobody can promise that. Weglot provides the technical basics, such as separate language URLs and hreflang tags, but results depend on translation quality, your content and competition in each language.

What happens if I exceed my word limit?

On the free plan, translation stops above 2,000 words until you upgrade. For paid plans, check Weglot’s terms for how overages are handled.

Final verdict

Weglot is a practical choice if you want a multilingual site quickly and are happy to pay a subscription for convenience. Start with the free trial, count your site’s words, and pick the plan that matches your word and language needs. If you want full control over where translations are stored, or have a very large site, compare a plugin that keeps translations inside WordPress. See the current plans on the Weglot website.
