DeMassageWinkel B.V. review for Weglot ‑ Translate Your Store

Nov. 25, 2021

Overall, I think the options and speed of the app are very good. Also, the option that you can translate the URLs is amazing - especially for SEO purposes. It is a great way to scale internationally for any webstore. What I do definitely not wish to anyone is switching from Langify to Weglot. It is a big pain in the ass and in the end you will need to import all translations manually (even though weglot claims they can flawlessly import all translations). The customer support team is not really willing to help in this as well, and just tell you to hire someone that can import for you (even though their website claims that you can import all translations easily?) Second the URL function in their software is a pain in the ass. It doesn't work at all and after emailing back and forth about this for a couple of weeks I just give up and try using their visual editor... At the moment we have around 220k words translated apparently and I have no idea where they show up from, as the translations can't be matched to individual products anymore and they also do not show up in the visual editor? Also their integration with review applications does only work one way - They translate from the main language to the target language. However if you get a review in the target language, it won't automatically translate to the main language. So I am not sure if you can call this a real integration... E.g. You have a English website and translate it to French - If you got an english review it will translate to French for your French website, but if you get a French review it won't translate to English for your English website So in general I would say Weglot is the most advanced translations app for Shopify at this moment. However, expect a HUGE hassle when switching translations apps and expect to pay for word amounts that don't really add up (as you can't see clearly on which page which translations show up as their URL function doesn't work). Having said that, for us the extra features of weglot add up to the amount we pay per month. They have been helpfull with adding one extra feature to our current plan, which is very nice. However, there is a lot of room for improvement in my opinion and it would have been highly appreciated if there was better support. Not only by email, but perhaps by an onboarding video call. This doesn't sound like too much for a $200+ per month software to me.
