Overview
Weglot is a cloud translation service that connects to WordPress through a plugin on WordPress.org. After you add your API key and pick languages, Weglot detects the text on every page, translates it with AI and serves the translated versions under language subdirectories. Translations are stored on Weglot’s servers and managed in its web dashboard rather than in your WordPress database.
Plans and limits
Pricing is a subscription based on translated words and the number of languages. The free plan allows 2,000 words and one language. Paid plans run from Starter (10,000 words, one language) through Business (50,000 words, three languages), Pro (200,000 words, five languages), Advanced and Extended, with Enterprise above. Translated URL slugs start at Pro, export and import at Advanced, and translation memory and top-level domains only on Extended. Yearly billing gives two months free.
Strengths
- Very fast setup with almost no configuration, and new content is translated automatically.
- AI translation that can follow glossary rules and brand guidelines, plus a visual in-context editor and a translation list.
- Handles hreflang, translated metadata and SEO plugin tags from Yoast, Rank Math and AIOSEO.
- Translates WooCommerce products, checkout and emails, and works with major page builders and forms.
- Team members, professional translators on order, and media translation.
Limitations
Costs grow with your word count and language count, and every plan has a cap, so large or fast-growing sites can become expensive. Translations live in Weglot’s cloud: you can export them on higher plans, but the translated site depends on an active subscription. Translated slugs are not available below Pro, and there is no multi-currency.
Weglot is a good choice for marketing sites and stores that want multilingual SEO with minimal setup and are comfortable with a recurring, usage-based SaaS fee.
Best for: Marketing sites and stores that want multilingual SEO with minimal setup and accept a recurring usage-based fee.
Weglot is the quickest way to get a well-indexed multilingual WordPress site, and its AI and editing tools are polished. The trade-off is cost and control: pricing scales with words and languages, translated slugs start at Pro, and your translations live in Weglot's cloud.

How many sites use Weglot?
Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.
Free version (WordPress.org)
50K+
Active installations reported by WordPress.org.
Vendor claim
110K+
Sites/users claimed on the vendor's website. source
Estimated Pro / paid installs
~17K
Our estimate, see method below.
How we estimated this: About 55K free installs x 25% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when a hosted service whose free tier is tightly capped) gives 14K. The vendor claims 110K+ sites in total. Taking away about 55K free installs leaves 55K, and 80% of that is 44K. Vendor totals are loose, so we only move our figure part of the way toward it, from 14K to 17K. Likely range: 8.5K to 34K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
