Weglot raises $50 million to turn any website into a multilingual site

Weglot closed a $50 million Series A funding round from Partech. A translation solution has been built by the company. It allows you to add more languages to your site without having to switch to a different platform.

This is important to understand Weglot's positioning. There is a translation plug-in for the WordPress ofshopify. Weglot wants to build a universal product that works for all web experiences.

There are two ways to take advantage of Weglot. You can either add it to your existing website or use the Weglot method. If you run a small company and don't have a dedicated web developer, you could install Weglot without writing a single line of code.

You can add a few lines of javascript to the tag of your website. This approach is used by Weglot for Webflow. You need to change your records to make them work for new languages.

Content from the site is automatically detected and pulled from the server. Weglot customers can use automatic translation.

The company has a dashboard that you can use to dive into your content. You can grant access to professional translators and manage their translations from that interface.

You have a multilingual site after that. The website will load in the visitor's favorite language when they visit. If you want to offer multiple options, you can add a language switcher in the corner of your website.

Weglot creates dedicated subdirectories for each language even though translations are stored on the server. Search engines can index each language variant of your website. Weglot can be used to translate theMetadata andKeywords.

Depending on the number of languages and words you need, the startup charges a monthly subscription. Weglot had $11 million in recurring revenue last year. Not bad for a startup that hasn't raised any outside capital since its seed round.
