What LgTranslate is
LgTranslate translates your website into other languages. The translated text is stored as small static files. Those files live on your own site and on two content delivery networks (CDNs). A visitor's browser reads them directly. It does not need to ask our servers.
That is the whole idea. Our dashboard, our API and our translation engines can all be offline, and your visitors still see translated pages.
What you do#
- Create an account and add your site in the dashboard.
- Choose the languages you want.
- Install the plugin, app or script on your site.
- Let machine translation fill in the text, then check what matters.
- Publish. The translations become static files.
What you get#
- Translation by machine, with a place to review and correct it.
- A glossary, so brand names and key terms stay the way you want them.
- A language switcher for your visitors.
- Export of everything you have translated, in common formats.
What it does not do#
- A script on one address cannot create separate language addresses (
/fr/) for search engines. WordPress, Shopify and the framework kits can. See SEO and the script snippet. - Machine translation can be wrong. Read Machine and reviewed translations.
- Publishing new text needs our servers. Showing text you already published does not. See If our servers are down.
Where things stand#
LgTranslate is live. You can create an account, add a site and publish translations today. The WordPress plugin is a download from your dashboard. The Shopify App Store listing and the public npm packages for the framework kits are still to follow: OPEN, no date. Prices are per site and per language and are on the pricing page. Each article says what is built and what is still open.
