## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Most of the "top 10 translation services" pages that come up are affiliate-ranked and name providers I'd never recommend, so here's what I'd actually point you to, split by what you're translating - that distinction matters more than any overall ranking.
> 
> ## Your website or store
> 
> **Weglot** - first pick for most small businesses. Starts around €15/month, installs on WordPress/Shopify/Webflow with no code, auto-detects your content, and handles the multilingual SEO plumbing (hreflang tags, translated subdomains/subdirectories) that people usually get wrong. You can machine-translate everything on day one, then hand-edit or order human translation for just the pages that sell.

> 
> ## Everyday internal + draft translation
> 
> **DeepL Pro** - ~$10.49/month/seat. Best-in-class raw output for European languages, with document upload that keeps formatting, a glossary for your product names, and a no-training-on-your-data guarantee on paid tiers. It's an engine, not a workflow tool: you manage the files yourself.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
