The best website translators in 2026

Two kinds of website translators

The best fit depends on whether you want a hosted translation service or a plugin or API connected to your site. For your store or website, start with that choice rather than a list of supported languages.

A hosted service gives you a plan with its own limits, such as translated words, languages or monthly visits. A plugin or API connects translation to your Shopify store, WordPress site or app, with the details depending on the tool.

What are you paying for? That's worth checking before comparing prices. Words, characters and visits aren't interchangeable, and a plan's language allowance can matter as much as its translation limit.

Hosted translation layers

Weglot is worth a look if its word and language limits match your site. As of November 2026, its Starter plan costs €15 a month for 10,000 words and 1 language, while Business costs €29 for 50,000 words and 3 languages. Prices are in EUR, excluding VAT.

The counting matters here. Weglot counts words once per target language, so don't size your plan using only the word count of your original site. You can try it for 14 days without a card.

ConveyThis has a Starter plan at $12 a month for 60,000 words. Business costs $24 a month for 200,000 words and 3 languages; Pro costs $64 for 800,000 words and 5 languages.

Linguise starts at $15 a month for 200,000 words. Its Pro plan is $25 for 600,000 words, and Large is $45 with unlimited words under fair use. It supports 80+ languages, with one website per plan.

Not every service bills by words. Bablic charges by monthly visits: Go is $19 a month for 1 language, Core is $49 for 5 languages, and Pro is $199. Localize has custom pricing starting at $25,000 a year and supports over 115 languages.

Free and cheap options

Start with the free allowance if it covers what you need. Weglot includes 2,000 words and 1 language on its free plan. ConveyThis offers 10,000 words and 1 language free.

GTranslate has a free Google Translate widget with unlimited words for non-commercial sites. That restriction matters if you run a store. Its paid plans range from $12 to $50 a month.

And don't compare the starting prices alone. Put your site's word count beside the number of languages you want, then check how each service counts usage (especially when you're adding more than one language).

Shopify stores

Shopify Translate & Adapt is the free option to check first. It offers automatic translation into up to 2 languages, or 8 in select countries.

That's separate from how many languages your store can publish. Stores on Basic, Grow, Shopify and Advanced can publish up to 20 languages; Plus stores can publish up to 30.

Keep those limits separate. If you want more automatic translations than the app includes, its publishing allowance doesn't change the automatic translation allowance.

For another approach, look at the API option below, including what its Shopify app translates and how it handles Liquid.

WordPress sites

For WordPress, look at the content you need translated: posts and pages, WooCommerce products, theme strings. Check those against the plugin rather than choosing on price alone.

Translinga's WordPress plugin covers all of those. It leaves HTML, shortcodes and attributes alone. TranslatePress, Polylang Pro and Loco Translate can use DeepL, and the plugin sends those requests to Translinga.

That's a specific route to consider if you use one of those tools. Keep the plugin connection and the translation service in mind as separate parts of your choice.

When you'd rather own the translations

If you'd rather work through your site's plugin or an API than choose a hosted plan, Translinga is a translation API made by Bitgate for Shopify stores, WordPress sites and apps.

Its Shopify app translates products, collections, pages and the theme. It leaves Liquid such as {{ remaining_amount | money }} and {% if %} exactly as it was.

The API removes Liquid tags, HTML and placeholders before translating, checks every reply tag by tag, and retries any string that comes back with a tag missing.

Pricing is by characters: Fast costs $2.50 per million, and Quality costs $5.00 per million. Every character counts, including spaces, once per target language. Credit starts at $5 prepaid and never expires.

It's in early access. Request a key with the Get early access button on translinga.com; no card is needed, and the first $1 is free, about 400,000 characters on Fast.
