Common questions

What is the best Smartling alternative for a marketing team?

Weglot is the best Smartling alternative for marketing teams that need a translated website live without developer time. Setup takes minutes on any CMS, and translations update on their own as content changes.

Which Smartling alternative works with any CMS?

Weglot works with any CMS, including WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Drupal, and custom-built sites. Adding a language is one setup step, with no platform-specific connector to configure.

Do you need a developer to switch from Smartling to Weglot?

No developer is needed to switch. Setup takes about 5 minutes on WordPress and under 10 minutes on other CMSs, and new content is detected and translated automatically after that.

Does Weglot handle multilingual SEO and GEO?

Weglot handles multilingual SEO automatically. Every translated page gets its own search-friendly URL, hreflang tags, translated metadata, and a sitemap that updates as you publish. All of this also makes your site more visible to LLMs, making you more visible in AI search.

Can you edit AI translations in Weglot?

Weglot's Visual Editor lets you change any translation inside a live preview of your site. Glossary rules and translation memory then keep your brand terms consistent everywhere, and you can order professional translations for the pages that matter most.
