Weglot alternative: translate your store once, keep it forever.
Weglot is a great product — but it's a monthly subscription that serves your translations through its own proxy. Langharbor is a one-time alternative that writes translations into your database: they're yours, even after you uninstall.

The real gap · price over time
Subscription vs one-time.
A ~€29/month subscription is ~€1,044 over 3 years, and it keeps going. The same store translated with Langharbor: 99 to 449 € once, for good. The longer you keep your store, the wider the gap.
✓ You own your translations
Weglot and Linguise serve translated versions from their infrastructure. Langharbor writes translated content into your store — products, categories, pages, tags. You stay the owner, with no lock-in.
✓ No key, no meter
No API key to manage, no per-word cost. Premium AI quality is included. You translate the whole store, once, and you're done.
✓ The whole store, not just products
Products, categories (your menu), CMS pages (Shipping, Terms…) and the theme interface — all translated and indexable.
⚖ When Weglot is still a good choice
Honestly: Weglot has a live visual editor, a broad integration ecosystem and a proven managed service. If you prefer an all-in-one subscription billed on usage, it's excellent. Langharbor is for those who want to pay once and own.
Frequently asked questions
Is Weglot expensive?
Weglot is billed monthly, based on your word count and number of languages (roughly €15 to €699/month depending on the plan, 2026 public pricing). The cost is recurring — you pay every month, forever. Langharbor is paid once (99 to 449 € depending on the number of languages), with no subscription.
What happens if I stop paying Weglot?
Weglot (like Linguise) serves your translated versions through its own layer. If the subscription ends, the translated versions of your site stop being served. With Langharbor, translations are written directly into your store's database — they stay in place even if you uninstall the module.
Does Langharbor work on PrestaShop 9?
Yes. Langharbor is compatible with PrestaShop 1.7, 8 and 9, as well as WooCommerce and WordPress. Installation is a one-click .zip import from your back office, in two minutes.
Can I migrate from Weglot to Langharbor?
Yes: install Langharbor, tick your languages, run the translation, then remove Weglot. Because Langharbor creates real pages per language (/en/, /es/…) indexed by Google, your multilingual SEO stays in place.
Is Weglot still a good choice?
Yes, depending on your needs. Weglot has a mature ecosystem, a live visual translation editor and many integrations. If you want an all-in-one managed service billed on usage, Weglot is solid. Langharbor is for those who prefer to pay once and own their translations.
