The backstory
Weglot auto-translates websites into many languages with a snippet, charging by word count and language. Browsers with Google Translate already render any page in the visitor's language for free, and AI translation quality keeps rising. For many sites, visitor-side translation removes the need to pay for hosted localization. As the core benefit is available free in the browser, it is killed for many use cases.
