## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> It depends on what you're actually translating - the right pick for a multilingual website is a different product from the right pick for a stamped birth certificate. Here's who I'd actually name, by job:
> 
> **Website / app / ongoing content**
> 
> 1. **Weglot** - my default recommendation for a small business that wants a multilingual site without hiring a developer. One JS snippet or a WordPress/Shopify plugin, automatic content detection, and it handles multilingual SEO (proper subdomains/subdirectories and hreflang) which is the part DIY approaches usually get wrong. Free for 2,000 words/1 language; ~€15/mo Starter, €29/mo Business (50k words, 3 languages), €79/mo Pro. You can be live in an afternoon. ([pricing comparison](https://taia.io/resources/comparisons/lokalise-vs-smartling-vs-weglot/))
> 2. **DeepL** (Pro, ~$9-30/user/mo) - the best raw machine translation quality for European languages, and the one I'd use for internal docs, emails, supplier comms, and first drafts you'll have a human clean up. Not a website solution on its own; pair it with an editor.
> 3. **Lokalise** - only if you're translating a software product with strings in a repo, not marketing pages. Developer-first,
