Smartling vs. Weglot

Smartling is great because I can use the Figma plugin to pull already translated strings into my project. If I need translations for the project, I can submit these strings from within and continue working on the next ask of the day. We also have great dev workflows built in: we submit one PR and a Smartling ticket, then, once the ticket is complete, run a simple command to pull in translated strings and refresh the project in a matter of seconds.

Weglot is great for a small static website that doesn't have frequent content updates. It is also good for businesses that want to look at only a single language translation. It tends to fall apart when you either have a larger, growing website or multiple languages that you want to translate for. We had the system cut out several times when we first launched due to it repeatedly hitting our translation cap, with little or no warning from the vendor. Once it happened during a critical communication time.

• We look forward to seeing more in-depth reporting and user management features specifically for translation agencies that handle multiple client accounts

• Price model is very poor for larger websites who produce content regularly
• Price model is also poor for multiple language options (ie, each language translation is a separate cost)
• Customer service isn't very helpful (non-US based company)

I have never seen a software company working so diligently to make improvements in a constant and consistent way. Their tool has truly transformed and made a great impact to localization industry

I do think Smartling has a very high usability. It is easy to access, straightforward in what it can do and has a user-friendly design. It is also highly adaptable, though I wish there was a way to set more keyboard shortcuts for functionalities where they are not currently available.

I always receive timely and pleasant support from their Help Desk!

We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.

Weglot was really the only option we saw that met the needs of our schools. If we could find another tool that did the same thing for a cheaper price or was more reliable in it's customer service, we would have went with that system. As it is, they seem to the the best game in town, despite the higher price tag.

• We can think in English and know that Smartling can localize and translate for the rest of the world's markets. This probably would have taken weeks, or at least a month, before Smartling, and now we can have translated strings for 150+ markets in a matter of a week.

• Improves the ability for us to deliver accessible content to various non-speaking constituents
• High cost for a benefit that used to be free (Google Translate) adds an extra expense to our business
• Poor customer service means families are sometimes cut off from new translated content, leaving them with a poor experience
