Impossible to give more than one star. I spent over an hour trying to set up this app. Even after following all the instructions, the warning messages kept appearing despite everything being correctly enabled in Shopify. The interface is confusing, the setup process is not intuitive, and the app feels full of bugs. It's impossible to tell whether the issue comes from the app or the configuration. To make things worse, there isn't even a live chat. If you need help, you're told to send an email and wait. Very disappointing first experience. I've uninstalled the app and will be looking for another solution. Goodbye.
Uninstall doesn't clean up, caused massive hidden revenue loss months later. Plus billing kept running after removal. We installed Weglot to test internationalization on our Shopify store, decided it wasn't right for us, and uninstalled within days. Two serious problems followed: 1. They kept charging us for 3 months after we uninstalled. The app was removed from our Shopify store, but the charges continued through Shopify Billing for three full months. We had to chase them down through support to stop it and request refunds. Watch your billing statements carefully uninstalling the app from Shopify does NOT automatically cancel your Weglot subscription. 2. Hidden URL residue caused months of bot traffic and a major revenue hit. When Weglot is active, it creates locale subpaths on your domain (/it/, /de/, /fr/, /ru/, etc.) for translated content. When you uninstall, those URLs stay indexed in Google and continue to be hit by bot crawlers, AI search results, and old links — indefinitely. There's no in-app cleanup, no warning that this will happen, no instructions on how to remove the URLs from search engines. In our case, these zombie URLs (we don't even sell in those markets) became a magnet for bot/scraper traffic. The volume was high enough that our edge layer's bot-mitigation kicked into overdrive and started returning 403 errors on cart.js for real shoppers whose network profile happened to resemble the bot signatures. Add-to-Cart silently broke for thousands of US customers across multiple devices and browsers. They saw the Add-to-Cart button, clicked it, nothing happened. They bounced. We only caught it through Noibu (an error-monitoring app), which flagged 4,165 affected sessions in a single week with zero progressing to checkout. Estimated annual revenue impact: $104k. When we finally traced it back, the fix took manual work on our side: ~24 Shopify URL redirects, robots.txt customization, and Google Search Console URL removals — none of which Weglot helps with at uninstall. For other merchants considering Weglot: - Before you install, ask in writing how to fully remove URL artifacts at uninstall - Confirm in writing how to cancel billing (assume uninstall ≠ cancellation) - Track your conversion + bot traffic for weeks AFTER uninstall, not just during use - The damage from URL residue can dwarf any short-term value of trying the app. We lost months of clarity on why our conversion was degrading before tracing it back here. Weglot's "easy install, easy uninstall" framing is misleading. Uninstall is not clean

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that uninstalling Weglot did not meet your expectations. We understand your concerns regarding both the subscription management and the cleanup process after removing the app. While uninstalling Weglot from a Shopify store does not automatically cancel the associated subscription, we recognize that this may not have been as clear as it should have been and appreciate your feedback on the matter. Regarding the translated URLs, once pages have been crawled and indexed by search engines, their removal typically requires actions outside of Weglot itself. We understand that this process can be time-consuming and appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us improve both our documentation and the guidance we provide to merchants. In the meantime, I’ve reached out to you privately because I’d genuinely like to make things right. As a gesture of goodwill, I’ve offered to fully refund your subscription payments and would be happy to personally handle that for you if you’re open to it. Our team is always open to discussion, and if you would like to continue the conversation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@weglot.com. We’d be more than happy to assist. Thank you again for your detailed feedback. It helps us continue improving both our product and the guidance we provide to merchants throughout their journey with Weglot. — Weglot Support Team
Too expensive compared to other similar apps. Their pricing model is thought to grow exponentially. It is unsustainable if you have multiple countries and an active blog to be translated.
Developer reply ·
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand your concern regarding pricing sustainability for very large multilingual projects, especially when managing a large catalog alongside an active blog and multiple target languages. In your case, our team spent quite a bit of time reviewing your setup, estimating the projected translated volume, and exploring different approaches with you — including optimization strategies and discounted options. As discussed during our exchanges, the main challenge was the exceptionally high volume of content involved rather than a technical limitation with the product itself. We genuinely appreciate your feedback on this topic, as scalability and long-term cost predictability are important considerations for projects of your size. Our team remains available if you'd ever like to revisit the project with a more tailored long-term approach. The Weglot Team

Hello Said, We’re sorry to see your review and that your experience with Weglot wasn’t satisfactory.

I've uninstalled weglot app but still be charged in the next month.
Developer reply ·
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry for the confusion this caused. Uninstalling the Weglot app does not automatically cancel the subscription, which needs to be ended separately from the account billing settings. We understand this may not have been clear and sincerely apologize for the frustration. Our support team has reached out to you to fully clarify the situation and to propose a complete refund so this can be resolved properly. We remain available and committed to closing this matter in a fair and positive way. Weglot Support Team
la traduction de notre site n est pas vraiment bonne et le cout est très chère si on compare a d'autre service . leur service me coute 140$ par mois
Developer reply ·
Merci pour votre feedback. Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre que votre expérience n’a pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Nous avons pris contact afin de mieux comprendre les points soulevés et d’apporter des corrections, notamment sur certaines traductions spécifiques de votre site. Des ajustements ont été effectués de notre côté, mais nous n’avons malheureusement pas eu de retour par la suite pour continuer à affiner les traductions ensemble. Weglot propose plusieurs outils pour améliorer la qualité des traductions, notamment les règles de glossaire, l’édition manuelle et des options basées sur l’IA, permettant un contrôle précis du contenu traduit. Notre équipe reste bien entendu disponible si vous souhaitez reprendre les échanges. Weglot Support Team
I would have given it 0 stars if that were possible. This app was recommended by an agency, but they clearly haven’t used it much. Translating our mega menu is impossible. The default translations are catastrophic, Google Translate does a better job. And when you need to make changes, it’s only word by word. In short, don’t waste your time or your money.
Developer reply ·
Hi Dr. LEVY, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation was for you. Following your review, our support team reached out privately to better understand the issues you encountered and offer assistance with the mega-menu translation and editing setup. As part of this follow-up, a full refund was processed to ensure the matter was resolved on our side, even though we didn’t have the opportunity to address the technical setup together beforehand. Our support team remains available should you wish to revisit the configuration or need help in the future. We always aim to assist users with complex setups and ensure Weglot works as expected. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. — The Weglot support team
La pire app que j'aie utilisée. Pour qu'elle fonctionne, il faut changer les DNS de ma boutique. Résultat : quand j'ai désinstallé l'app, et que j'ai voulu remettre les DNS d'origine, cela a créé un problème technique majeur qui a rendu ma boutique inaccessible pendant une journée, et m'a fait perdre beaucoup de temps pour que je comprenne quel était le problème et comment le régler. Shopify ne devrait pas permettre à des apps d'imposer des changements de DNS comme le fait Weglot.
Developer reply ·
Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes sincèrement désolés pour les difficultés rencontrées et pour l’impact que cela a pu avoir sur votre boutique. Pour clarification, Weglot ne modifie jamais les DNS d’une boutique sans action volontaire du marchand. Certains réglages DNS peuvent être proposés dans le cadre d’intégrations avancées, mais ils sont toujours optionnels, documentés et réversibles. La désinstallation de l’application n’entraîne aucune modification automatique des DNS. Nous comprenons néanmoins à quel point une indisponibilité de site est pénalisante et regrettons de ne pas avoir pu vous accompagner à ce moment-là. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas réussi à identifier votre compte pour analyser précisément la situation. Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez nous contacter directement à support@weglot.com en indiquant le nom de votre boutique ou l’adresse e-mail associée. Nous prendrons le temps de comprendre ce qu’il s’est passé. Cordialement, L’équipe Support Weglot
UPDATE - MY WORST IN FIVE YEARS OF SHOPIFY The app does not work with shopify markets, I advertise for nothing, the site is not stable and the check out broken most of the time because of weglot. The customers service says it works. If I could put less than 1 star I would do it. Minus 100 stars. Stop sending useless emails, contact me to build a real solution. That crap for 400 euros / month ?????? ____ Worked well the first time. Stopped because expensive. Reinstalled and then a nightmare began. Super low level customer service just copy pasting helplessly the instruction of the website. DISAPPOINTING for such a budget !
Developer reply ·
Hi Fleur, We're sorry to see that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We spent a significant amount of time working together on your Shopify configuration, including multiple investigations, testing from different countries, configuring Shopify Markets, adjusting your integration, and refunding one month of your subscription as a goodwill gesture. We remained available throughout the process and tried to resolve every issue that was brought to our attention. As your project combines Shopify Markets with a customized multilingual setup, some of the issues involved interactions with Shopify’s own infrastructure rather than Weglot alone, which made troubleshooting particularly complex. We noticed that your subscription has since been canceled, and despite several follow-ups, we unfortunately didn’t hear back from you. If you ever decide to revisit the project, our team would be happy to help you again and review your configuration together. We genuinely wish you all the best with your store.
It's the worst app I've used. The website loads with no texts, then all the text appears after 3-4 seconds. Also, I deleted the app and since I have to change my DNS a records for this tool, now my website is not working at all... I never saw an app with a worst setup and execution. And for $32, is a rip off.
Developer reply ·
Hi Marius, We’re really sorry to read your review and genuinely regret that your experience with Weglot started off on the wrong foot. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we reached out right away and offered to assist directly with the setup to get things resolved quickly. However, we didn’t receive any response to our multiple messages, which made it difficult for us to help further. It seems the issue occurred at the installation stage, so Weglot never actually had the opportunity to run on your site. This is of course not the kind of experience we want for our users, and we remain fully available if you ever wish to revisit the setup. Best regards, Weglot Support Team
1-Star (Wish I Could Give 0) – Deceptive Billing & Unauthorized Charges I canceled my subscription two months ago, yet I’m still being charged 325/ month. When I signed up I picked the 39/month Business plan, but the platform automatically enabled a hidden "Volume Upgrade" option—something I never noticed or consented to. Because of this deceptive practice, I was charged over $300/month for four months before realizing what happened. Even after canceling, the charges continue. This is predatory behavior—shame on this company for exploiting customers with sneaky auto-upgrades and ignored cancellations. I’ve already taken action by: Reporting to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) Disputing all charges with American Express Filing complaints with relevant consumer protection agencies
Developer reply ·
Hi there, We're really sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand how frustrating this situation must feel. We want to clarify that our Auto-Upgrade feature is not enabled by default— it must be manually activated. It's designed to ensure your website stays fully translated even if your word count exceeds the plan limit, and we make this clear during setup and in our documentation. That said, we understand it can sometimes be overlooked, and we're always happy to review it and check further with our customers to see exactly what happened. Regarding the ongoing charges, it appears that your subscription was not fully canceled, which is why billing continued. Canceling on Shopify or uninstalling the app doesn't automatically cancel your subscription with Weglot, as billing is handled separately. In any case, note that we processed the refund of the related charges for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us again directly at support@weglot.com so we can check this further together. We genuinely appreciate your feedback—it helps us improve both our service and communication. Best regards, The Weglot Team
Ils te font encore payer même quand tu désinstalle l'appli. Je ne sait même pas comment arrêter la domiciliation...Appli pas terrible en plus de ça.

Bonjour , J'ai le plaisir de vous contacter au nom du Support de Weglot et j'espère que vous allez bien. Je vous remercie pour l'avis que vous avez posté, et je suis ravi de pouvoir en discuter plus précisément. L'abonnement ainsi que la résiliation de l'abonnement ne s'effectuant pas au sein de l'app dans Shopify, cela necessite une action complémentaire au sein du Dashboard Weglot. Vous avez normalement été notifié de cela. Je constate que vous aviez désinstallé l'application depuis quelques mois et dans la mesure ou vous n'avez pas utilisé Weglot depuis cette date, il est normal de ne pas payer pour le service. J'ai procédé remboursement de ces mois et une preuve vous a été partagée par email. Je reste à votre disposition pour tout renseignement complémentaire et vous souhaite une excellente journée. Weglot Support
Terrible app. You manually translate content on their platform, but the changes never reflect in your store. Their support team constantly tries to shift the blame, claiming it's an issue with Shopify or other apps, but never their fault. Truly disappointing.

Tooo expensive!!!
Developer reply ·
Hi, Weglot Support here. I hope you're doing well. First of all, thank you for taking the time to write a review on Shopify. I perfectly understand that our product seems to fit your translation needs, and it seems that the main issue for you is the Pricing. It means that the Weglot Pro plan seems to fit the most your translation needs as you can see in the pricing documentation below Pricing Documentation We've just sent you an email with the detail of the subscription you need to manage according to your website's number of words. It seems that the Weglot Pro plan seems to fit the most your translation needs. This plan allows you to get pretty cool features such as: Pageviews statistics => Explore the country and the browser language of your visitors. Translate URLs => Translate the slug URLs for a better UX and SEO (to finally reach more potential visitors on your website) Could you answer to the email we sent to you or contact support@weglot.com so we can discuss further about your translation needs? Have a wonderful day, Regards,
the app is not working properly, I have paid for Pro license and I am dissapointed with the customer support received

WEBSITE DELETED!! DONT USE THIS! I deleted the Weglot app on my 8-figure store and my ENTIRE WEBSITE was deleted. I lost over $100K+ because of this APP. DON'T USE THIS APP! WEGLOT WILL DELETE YOUR WEBSITE
Developer reply ·
Hi, Weglot Support here. I hope you're doing well. First of all, thank you for taking the time to write a review on Shopify. It seems that Weglot deleted only the project in your Weglot account. This doesn't affect your website, only the translation. Indeed, after three months of complete inactivity with Weglot, i.e. without any API request to Weglot, the project is automatically soft-deleted as you can see in our terms by following the link below https://www.weglot.com/terms I've restored the project, and all your translations are findable in your project. I've also sent you, in an email, a backup of all the translations present in your project. Don't hesitate to contact us at support@weglot.com if you need any further information or help regarding Weglot. Have a wonderful day, Cheers,
Don't install this app, super expensive, and also I have deleted it and it still on my site. CAUTION: WILL LEAVE CODE AFTER UNINSTALLING!!!
Developer reply ·
Hi, Weglot Support here. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Shopify. About the leftover code, note that now Weglot is able to remove all its code related to the Shopify API automatically. For older integrations, a manual action can be required, and you'll find the process in the documentation below > https://support.weglot.com/article/127-shopify-troubleshooting-deleted-weglot-app-but-weglot-button-remains-on-website We'd be really glad to help you further remove the leftover code in your admin. In this case, you just have to share with our Support team the code so we can send you a collaboration request. We've sent you an email. Don't hesitate to answer the email to follow the discussion so we can try to improve your experience with our plugin. Have a wonderful day, Cheers,

It sounds like your experience with Weglot can be improved, and we would be happy to help you, as best we can.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. SO MUCH DAMAGE ON MY STORE AND INCOME LOSS!!! They don’t take any accountability for the mess they make. My website is down already for 7 days!! I am receiving an error because they messed up my DNS completely and now globally my website is down. I contacted my domain name provider and Shopify and they did everything they could and all settings are correct, but Weglot still holds some kind of access to my website which causes the error even though I deleted everything and completely uninstalled and removed my profile with them. They don’t take any responsibility and just say it’s not their fault and I need to resolve with Shopify. IT IS 10000% THEIR FAULT and Shopify is also at a loss and can’t do anything further except determine wether they should still allow Weglot on their App Store! As soon as I untoggled the option for Weglot to use subdirectories my website was down and nothing has brought it back yet. They still have not resolved it to this day and every day goes by with us losing a lot of money.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Shopify. We had a chance to discuss further the issue you experienced, and finally it was decided to disable the integration. The issue here was mainly related to the DNS propagation on Shopify's end, and also a cache issue in the whole Shopify process. Our Support agent kindly helped you to contact the Shopify Support team which fixed all the issues you experienced. The issue is fixed now.

I come to express my total dissatisfaction with this application. If I had known it was so bad, I would never have chosen this application to translate my 2 websites... Wegolt problems that are only noticeable after some time dealing with the application... Weglot is a program in which its cost is per word count, and its cost is based on the number of words translated. 1 - I found that the weglot program translate languages that I didn't hire on my plan... and the number of words translated increases, so they want me to upgrade the plan I have, where I already pay €100 per month, which is already a very high price, for the performance of the program... 2 - I verified that it repeats the translations in the contracted languages, which increases the number of translated words. I have already eliminated these translations repeated by the program several times, but the program continues to make new repeated translations which increases the number of words translated and they want me to upgrade to the more expensive plan... 3- I have already corrected the program's automatic translations countless times, for manual translations, it took many hours of work doing manual translations, but after some time the program run and does a new automatic translation and what I did previously becomes automatic and wrong again, to many hours of work wasted... 4- The Visual Editor which allows you to do manual translations directly on the website does not work, I reported this situation 1 month ago and it is still unresolved... Conclusion: Very expensive program and full of problems, I do not recommend it... My Stores: https://cowboybootseurope.com https://cowboybootsportugal.pt

My website is down due to the instructions of weglot. For the subdomains they said to make changes in DNS which has caused my erbosteste not work anymore. I can’t get any sales anymore.

The app start pushing you to increase plan constantly even if you don't put anything new translated words increase. Rather than this is not comfortable to put manual translation because is necessary to check and correct some translation.
Developer reply ·
Dear SPOON GMBH, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to reach out to you regarding the recent feedback you provided, expressing dissatisfaction with the increase in word count. First and foremost, I want to express our gratitude for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us understand the concerns of our users and continuously improve our services. I understand that the recent increase in word count may have been unexpected and possibly inconvenient for you. I can see that Christophe has reached out to you as well, explaining why this happens and providing solutions on how to decrease it if needed. Do you need further help? I went ahead and did a word count of your site, and it seems you have a total number of Words: 300,501. You can see that this is not a question of Weglot trying to make you upgrade but more a question of the total number of words you have that surpasses your current plan. Feel free to let me know if you need any more information. Cheers, The Weglot Team
Terrible customer service. We had a small bug and the solution they offered deleted all our manual translations and thus made weeks of work go to waste. Also slows down your website a LOT.

Dear User, I want to express my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience and frustration you encountered due to your recent experience with our service. Your feedback regarding the small bug and subsequent loss of manual translations is deeply concerning to us, and I completely understand the frustration caused by this situation.

Feel free to contact the support team at support@weglot.com if you wish to have further assistance. Best, The Weglot Team

Hi ROOTOTE GALLERY_EDITION, We are sorry to hear you had an issue with Weglot. We manage subscriptions the same way you do on your phone.

bad application, overpriced and once you hit over 1 million words, they charge you over 2000.00$ per year. On top of that, I removed the app. almost 2 years ago and still have tags and scripts that mess up my URLs and redirect to 404 dead links. Noone had the decency of reaching out to us to tell us how to uninstall the app correctly and at least mention that if you do not delete the app. many bugs will occur if USA customers log in as their IP is redirected to www.domain.com/en-us/en-us/en/us/en-us and cannot be removed so, you get broken links and we have dropped 50% of our sales becomes of them plus because of their unprofessionalism, we never knew that the site was broken. Merci Weglot vous êtes vraiment des incompétents. A Canadian VERY unhappy customer.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Shopify. It sounds like your experience with Weglot can be improved, and we would be happy to help you, as best we can, to improve your experience with our product. Regarding the code remaining in your admin, please be aware that once the application is uninstalled, an email has been sent to your account's referral email address telling you how to completely uninstall Weglot from your environment. I've sent you in a separate email an example of such an email. Until recently, Shopify gives us the possibility to automatically delete the code of our application during an uninstallation, and we have already made the necessary changes within our plugin. Would you like me to personally investigate your admin to make sure that there is no more Weglot-related code? Please contact our team at support@weglot.com so our team members can discuss your concerns in more detail. You can ask for Chris, our Head of Support, so he can personally take care of your demand and help you improve your experience with our plugin About the broken URLs, I don't see any active projects in your account anymore, this means that no integration seems to be active and therefore the remaining code in your admin should not have any impact on your URLs. Contacting us back at support@weglot.com, we'd be glad to make further investigations if you'd like us to. We're remaining at your disposal for any further information, And wish you a wonderful day, The Weglot Team
Horrible Support. I don't know how a paid app can't have a chat feature. This is an absolute Joke. It has been over 2 weeks since i am using this PAID app and things still hasn't been solved. Now i face another issue with my feed translation. This is seriously the app which gives me the most headaches out of all apps i am using

Hi, Thanks a lot for taking the time to write a review. It seems that your experience with Weglot can be improved, and I'd be glad to help you improve your experience with our product. I've analyzed further the conversation you've just had with our Support team and it seems that the undesired behavior you've experienced are due to an unfinished configuration of the subdomains. I'd be really glad to help you further integrate the subdomain-based integration into your website if you're willing to give us another chance. Note that Weglot also proposes a beta subdirectory-based integration that allows you to display the translations on URLs such as https://haltungshelfer.de/nl/ for instance for a Dutch translation. Do you want to give it a chance? We'd be really glad to help you improve your user experience with our plugin. Keep us posted, Have a great day, Cheers,
Application chère et qui vous oblige à monter systématiquement en forfait. Il vous compte les mots que vous traduisez vous même dans le forfait! Je viens de changer à Langify et j'en suis très contente (17euros par mois). Sinon j'ai hésité avec la nouvelle application de Shopify est gratuite (translate and adapt) et à priori marche très bien.

Do not use this app, it never translates my company name properly. Every single time I add a new product, I must open the app and fix the way that my company name is spelled. It can't even translate the word "meters" properly. I have changed specific words so many times it feels like at this point the app is just not saving what im fixing, and I have to constantly re-do it. This is by far the worst translation app I've ever had to use, and I can't switch to another app because then all my progress would be gone and I would have to re-translate everything.

After installation the app lead to a mixture of languages. So when you switch the language, part of the text has not switched. Now I have to rewrite all the product descriptions manually after deinstallation of the app.

App is not compatible with native functions of the Split theme and the support team luckily responds with a message every few hours to ask for more explanation then do nothing about it. After 6 hours of trying to integrate the native language selector of the theme with this app i keep asking the support for a refund to be able to use a better app and i have no answers. NOT WORTH THE MONEY! ANY OTHER APP CAN GIVE THE SAME FUNCTIONS AT LESS TROUBLE!

HI, We are so sorry to see you had all the struggles but after a quick review, I can see our team continued to respond to you with no answer. We sent a total of 4 responses in one day hoping to get this resolved but there was no reply from you. You were also refunded. We wish you the best! THE WEGLOT TEAM
The automatic translations often don’t make any sense. The words are translated but you will have to go over the translations to make sure they are correct. Once you have done all this, weglot will continuously over write all your hard work over and over again with the translation that makes no sense. There is no way to stop this from happening. I DO NOT recommend this app because of that.

Hi Arteflame, We’re sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with Weglot and will take your feedback into consideration as we move forward in our work. Keep in mind, Changing the original content of your website can also impact your Translation List. As Weglot is creating new translations each time you change the original content of your website, the previous translations will also be found in your list but the new generated translation will take priority is showing on your site. Important: If you have previously manually edited a translation and an edit has been done to the original content, you will not lose this manual translation but the new automatic translation generated by Weglot will display instead of the manual one as the content has changed. If you wish to keep the previous manual translation, you will be able to find it in your translations list, copy and paste it into the newly created translation. We hope this helps you better understand how Weglot works :) All the best! THE WEGLOT TEAM
I am afraid this will not be your app if you are making an International Store using LockSmith App ...

Hi Kmina, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I'm very sorry we failed to meet your expectations but it seems the support team offered you solutions that you did not attempt and therefore Weglot cannot function on the site until the correct steps are taken. If you wish for us to help, please contact us so I can explain further. Thank you! THE WEGLOT TEAM
Extremely disappointed. SEO translations work bad, Media translations do not work at all. So at first everything looks kinda OK. But when you deep into it, you realize how bad the whole situation is. First -- SEO translation. You can translate meta tags, but it is really hard to find them in the list, and when you try to go page by page, it simply does not work. If your website has more than 10 pages, you will struggle. Next. This app advertises it has a media translation function. While I can confirm there is a button for this, I cannot confirm this function works. In my case it simply does not do anything. After 2 weeks of endless talks with support, I received a message that the issue is too complex for them to solve and that is because of the Shopify theme. I mean...well...why there is nothing written about it? Like "Function X works only with themes X, Y and Z". And the support reps aren't exactly the fastest in terms of responsiveness and helpfulness. Decide on your own, in my case this app was a waste of money and an extreme waste of time.
I still can't feel how good it works, now I have spent a lot of time, but still not set it up well, many settings make me feel confused and difficult, I am already very tired, should I give up? 。。。。 reported ti them 2 days with fews email still can't solve the problem, finally i deleted WELGOT
I do not recommend the use of this app. It has misconfigured the details of the products and now the invoices do not come out right and the support has been unable to solve it. Pretty bad support.
in fact I'd rate negative -5 star. Do not use this app. they will upgrade you a higher plan without your permission. I have been charged for extra 30euro for more than a year without my permission.

Hi Little Bae, We are sincerely sorry about the negative experience you encountered. I am so sorry but we couldn't find an upgrade done on our part but rest assured we refunded you and made sure the account is closed so this will not happen in the future. Happy Holidays!
I am copy-pasting a response by Customer Service that should save you from installing this app: "We are open Monday - Friday 9 am to 6 pm (Paris Time). Please avoid sending a follow-up email until you have heard from us as this will push your request to the back of our queue." So now I am left for one weekend with a store (in the translated languages) that has a glitch that makes the prices disappear! Other than that, the app is user-friendly but gets translations wrong for super basic things like for standard pages titled "About" and "Home"... in common languages as German and French!

Hi PATA PAW, We are sorry to see you had issues with Weglot. We like to provide our users with top-level support and therefore choose to not outsource our team. This is why we are not available on weekends :(. We sent you an email to see how we can further help out! Best, The Weglot Team
The app caused a bug whereby clients were not able to add to cart their products. Every time a customer selected a product to the cart, it said the cart is EMPTY. The support team was hard to reach, arrogant and took weeks to fix it and did not FIX a thing. Had to DELETE the app. BEWARE!

Hello, We are sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with Weglot. After taking a look at your email interaction with the support team, they went above and beyond in trying to find a solution and help you. We tend to respond within 1 business day which is quite quick for a support inquiry. In terms of fixing the issue, it is easy to assume a developer can create a fix quickly but unfortunately, fixes require extensive time and research. We also refunded you the last two months you paid. Was there something else we missed?
Weglot Cons, found with my experience: - for 3 languages with url slug you need the advanced plan and the cost is $ 2,400 / year (higher price than the competition) - payment only by credit card, paypal or other services are not accepted - unmanageable language change customization (does not work on mobile, impossible to change the structure, but only part of the CSS can be changed) - dynamic content not translated correctly (if you have an infinite scroll it won't work for you) - really bad language rendering times - in the cost of translations they also charge the internal pages of shopify, such as cart, account, etc .. it seems that the locales used by shopify are not taken into consideration and recommend deleting them - completely wrong translations (API service mandatory and useless if it doesn't translate correctly) - unable to delete the css provided (the language switch stops working) - performance dropped from 60 points to 48 points after installing and configuring this app (very little optimization) - contents translated only and exclusively through ajax from the html code - to translate invoices or other things in the store you need to install external apps recommended by them which significantly increase the monthly costs
They offered me a demo call to begin with and on the demo call i had some tecnical questions they coulnt answer. The lady said she is happy to schedule another call if i needed one. Once they signed me up to the trial they have not responded to my request for another call so i decided i want to remove their app
20 bucks a month for that is pure scam. The app is full of bugs, it changes things you already corrected, the glossary isn't working properly. I've spent a lot of time of my translation due to this bad app and I'm not even done. And, there are also some pages that are only partly translated. This is such a useless mess!
Developer reply ·
Hello, As a reputable company with over 50k users, we place zero interest in trying to scam any of our users. We would be happy to help you out as I see you had not reached out to support concerning any of your issues. To date, we do not have any bugs present, Weglot does not change things you have corrected so I would be happy to explain how it works. We do have to mention that writing us messages like: "tell the sales b*** that wrote me on Facebook about my review that she'd better go to hell!" is not constructive at all for us to help you. We just want other users to see that although we wished to help you, you continued to insult us. Best of luck and we hope everything works out for you.
Very bad experience and many problems from weglot app. Very disappointed. It's many other good multilingual apps you can use.
I have been using this app for a while and now I will be uninstalling it. It basically doesn't work well and it translates only partially. It also adds strange characters to the translation lists, increasing your word count so that you have to upgrade to a bigger plan. Customer support doesn't respond to any support requests. UPDATE: I have received an email from Karina which blames me for not being happy with the app and leaving a bad review. She says, and I quote, "I wanted to know why you did not contact us directly and instead left this review?" So there is nothing wrong with the app and I have to be happy with it. Also, she chases me only 6 hours later saying "I wanted to follow up on the below message and see if you remove the review." Karina, I had contacted you twice through the webchat on the app, that's why. Your approach to feedback has been really terrible.
Developer reply ·
We are sorry you feel this way but asking you to contact us if you are having issues is not in any way blaming you. It is normal to ask a user to contact us if they do not understand certain aspects of how our app functions instead of leaving a negative review on issues that are actually fixable. So other users reading this understand that your issues were resolvable: Here is the answer to your statements: -We have responded to all your messages; the last one being in December. There were NO unanswered messages from our team. -The reason your site is not translating completely is that you are over the limit of your plan and not the app not functioning. -Can you give me an example of strange characters? Also, we do not have some mechanism that randomly adds characters to your site to scam you. We are a reputable company and wish to remain that way. We translate everything that is in your source code. We wish you the best in all your future endeavors.
attention quand vous enlevez l application il continu a prendre votre argent, de plus ca fonctionne juste pour la base de shopify
The translations are probably fine, but be very careful with installing this app. After installing I expected the standard Shopify app behaviour where the user is given a chance to study and configure and understand the app before promoting it to production. This was not the case for this app, as after installing it helpfully told me that the translations where now live on my store and some button was now appearing on the website. I tried to set the translations to private but it had no effect on the live store. I tried hiding the button but it had only options to select a corner for it to display. This app only has one setting: Live. So I did what I felt was the obvious thing when your store is unexpectedly injected with code you don't have control over: I immediately uninstalled the app. I figured that I'd just move on to the next candidate and that would be the end of it. However, the developer then asked me for my reasons for uninstalling, and when I gave them my reasons I was then helpfully lectured by a customer service rep on how my reasons were wrong and I clearly didn't understand how great their product is. I do have to thank them though, for inspiring me to leave a review. (I expect a developer response below explaining how everything I said was wrong, and that's fine.) (Edit: Yep, as expected.)
Developer reply ·
Hi Lulla Doll, We are so sorry you are having issues but we have previously let you know you can have Weglot on Private mode if you do not want to be live. The code injected is the same as any other app and is needed in order for the app to be functional. After reviewing your interaction with the support team, you were not lectured. Your final response to us was and I quote: "Not upset at all actually, and hadn't planned to answer at all but then Max asked for my feedback. I guess I was wrong as you have so helpfully explained to me. Many apologies for the bad feedback." We know Weglot is not for anyone and we have just tried to help you from the start. We wish you the best.
Even I have uninstall the app, the button (which is not functional anymore) still keep appearing on the website, don't know how to get rid of it!

We are sad to see a 1-star rating as we can easily help you remove the button or you can do it yourself with this doc: https://support.weglot.com/article/127-shopify-troubleshooting-deleted-weglot-app-but-weglot-button-remains-on-website We are just an email away if you need us!
Bad app. Bad support. Wanted to translate to Arabic with right to left layout The app messed up my website layout (for the translated language only) I contacted support asking them to correct these changes. Karina responded with a silly email telling me they cannot "redo a site" for me. I chose another app, had the same problem, but they resolved all issues for free! Weglot is a bad choice! Response: You should've handled this issue in a more professional manner rather than saying "redo a site for you". I never requested changes for my site. I was requesting your team to correct faults caused by the Right To Left (RTL) view. If you had a little more experience in RTL layout you would've understood what I meant. The other app understood the issue and worked with me and they resolved everything. I had the right to review and I posted what I believe. Weglot is a bad choice. Good luck to you too :) Response: I have no interest in fighting you as well. And I am not gearing nothing to hurt no one. I wrote what I think in a direct way. Again, I am not asking for any changes on my website. If I want to "redo" my website I would hire a developer for that. Not install a language app and ask its customer support team to redo it for me. The response didn't relate to my request and was inappropriate. I am installing your app to add Arabic. After I did, the layout changed to right-to-left. However, there were drastic mistakes in that change. Some elements changed other elements remained left-to-right. That is why I was very disappointed when you said "we cannot redo a site for you". I wish you the best of luck.

Update: Thanks again for your second response but if you wish to settle this matter, We recommend you email us back directly as it seems your responses are geared to hurt Weglot in a non-cordial way. We are here to just help out our wonderful users and have no interest in fighting with you :) Again, best of luck to you. We are so sorry to hear you believe our responses were silly but here at Weglot, we do not take any email from our more than 50k+ happy users as a joke. We know Weglot is not for everyone so we are happy you found a provider that works with your needs. We are here to provide all our users with the tools to make their site multilingual but like all apps, we have our limitations in the work we can do in making changes to their site. We like to let our numbers speak for themselves and with more than 600+ 5-stars reviews, Weglot is a great choice in support and multilingual needs :) Best of luck Mahmoud!
We have a problem Weglot for several weeks. There are translations in all kinds of languages that we don't even use on our website. The translations are added automatically and we are not able to stop this from happening. This makes it a hassle for our translator and messes up our statistics. The customer service is not able to solve the problem.
I used this for 8 months app and rarely spend the time to write a review. Here is what I found: 1) Why should we extra to see if this app is really working as they charge for the analytics.? LOL If most of your customers are within North America then this is waste of time as it will slow your load speed. If you sell world wide any translation app might help 2) After I removed the app, I was still being billed on credit card. This developer is sneaky as people should be aware that unlike most app's which are billed through Shopify and thus the billing automatically stops when you delete the App. This is not case when you put your credit card in for a direct billing and there is not much Shopify can do to help you out. It was finally sorted out but I would advise people to avoid any app's which require a credit card as otherwise your at their mercy.
Developer reply ·
We are sorry to hear you feel this way and attempted to work with you and explain everything in detail as we value our users. 1)We tried our best to explain to the user how we work as we are not an analytics app but rather a multilingual solution. We have checked out loading speeds and have no other user complaints of this nature. 2)Users have the choice to pay through Shopify or through our Weglot site which would also mean you would need to cancel from the place of purchase. We sorted it out with the user and explained what happened as we remain transparent about the payment process. Like many other apps, Weglot uses credit cards to enroll a user in the plan and charges them depending on the frequency of that plan.
One of the mist dissatisfying apps ever used.. - Does not translate the right things entering - After asking for support, explaining in 5 mails, it still was unclear. - After finally get it on the right pages, it does translate horrible and miss out words everywhere, which makes you still have to manually do everything. - After deleting it, it still is on your webshop, charges you money for not using the app, and you manually have to go in your code and delete it.
I have tried using this app more than once. it does not work and slows down and messes up my whole site so i have to install an old theme again just so my website will work.
