It is actually way worse. 10,000 translation requests do not mean at all 10,000 page views. They say translation requests and page views are approximately the same, but the reality can be very different.

I quote the Weglot customer support “A translation request is a call to our API. It can be triggered by a human visiting your website, a bot, AJAX requests, cache system, dynamic content”

I use Weglot on one site and 100 page views per month to the translated version equals roughly 50,000 translation requests. That is a huge difference from “This is approximately equal to the number of translated page views on your website”

Changing translation systems later on is a big pain, especially if it’s not for yourself but for a client.

From my latest experience over the last months, I would stay away from Weglot as much as I can.

I hope others will read this and not fall for the same as I did. I feel betrayed by Weglot big times.

Yes it does.
