Weglot: the long-standing proxy solution

Weglot is one of the best-known Shopify translation solutions. Its approach is different from the other apps in the ranking - Weglot works as a translation proxy that automatically detects your store's content, including content generated by third-party apps, and serves it translated on the server side.

This architecture allows it to cover an entire store in minutes, without needing to re-trigger the translation on every product change. The downside - your translations are hosted at Weglot, and disappear if you stop the subscription.

Advantages of Weglot

• Setup in minutes, almost zero technical configuration
• Automatically captures dynamic content (third-party apps, reviews, blog)
• Option to order professional human proofreading from the back-office
• Largest installed base among proxy solutions

Disadvantages of Weglot

• Your translations are rented - they disappear if the subscription stops
• The cost climbs fast with the number of words (Pro at $87 / month for 200,000 words)
• Strong dependence on Weglot infrastructure - if their server goes down, your translated pages disappear
• Cache layers sometimes finicky on very dynamic content (freshly published reviews)
