## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, split by what you're translating - because "translation service" means three very different purchases.
> 
> ## 1. Everyday documents, email, internal content → **DeepL**
> The default starting point. Consistently rated the top translation pick for small businesses, free tier is genuinely usable, and Pro (~$9-30/user/mo) adds document translation, glossaries, and a no-data-retention guarantee - which matters if you're pasting in contracts or customer data. Start here and only pay for human translation where DeepL isn't good enough. ([toolradar.com](https://toolradar.com/best/translation/for/small-business))
> 
> ## 2. Your website → **Weglot**
> The one I'd name first for non-technical owners. It's a JavaScript snippet / WordPress-Shopify plugin that detects and translates your live site, gives you translated URLs for SEO, and lets you hand-edit any string. $17/mo (10K words, 1 language) up to $87/mo (200K words, 5 languages), free tier at 2K words. You can realistically launch a bilingual site in an afternoon.
