How?
Weglot works by automatically detecting, translating and displaying the content of your website, without the need for duplicating your site.
Weglot then displays your multilingual site under language subdirectories, with an automatically added language switcher so website visitors can switch between the language of their choice.
For those that don’t know the language they’re translating into, Weglot provides machine translation. This ensures 100% of your site content is detected and translated, then, if users want to manually edit those translations they can do so through their own Weglot Dashboard which provides a number of translations management features to make manual edits if required.
Here you can make translation rules, edit your translations visually and amongst other things, choose to exclude certain URLs from being translated.
