Weglot adds a translation layer to existing storefronts without touching the underlying codebase, detecting content via a JavaScript snippet or server-side proxy and serving translated pages on localized subdomains or subdirectories. Ecommerce teams use it to launch Spanish, French, or Japanese versions of a Shopify or WooCommerce store in days, then refine machine output through a visual editor. Buyers are growth marketers and localization leads expanding into new geos without a dev sprint.
> pick this if
Pick this if you're a Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, or BigCommerce brand that needs indexable multilingual storefronts live in weeks without engineering capacity or a CMS replatform.
> look elsewhere if
Look elsewhere if you're on a headless or custom stack with complex content models, need translation memory and TMS workflows for a localization team managing dozens of locales, or want full control over per-locale merchandising and pricing logic (Shopify Markets, Crowdin, or Phrase fit better).
