Let SEATEXT AI improve the conversion rate of your translated landing page
The era of the Google Translate widget has come to an end since its discontinuation in 2019. If you were relying on it for a quick translation solution for your website, it's time to explore other avenues.
Fortunately, the discontinuation of the Google Translate widget might be a blessing in disguise. The widget had its fair share of limitations, including a lack of translation control, subpar user experience, and a void in multilingual SEO capabilities, which are essential for international website ranking.
In this piece, we'll delve into the shortcomings of the Google Translate widget and introduce a robust alternative: the Seatext AI translation service, which can be seamlessly integrated into your WordPress website or any other platform.
Why the Google Translate Widget is No Longer Viable
The Google Translate widget, despite its initial appeal, was discontinued. This was in line with Google's trend of phasing out several of its services. The widget, which was positioned above a website's header, allowed users to select from around 100 languages. It relied heavily on Google Translate for its machine translations.
However, the primary issue was the lack of control over translations. Users were at the mercy of Google Translate's output, which sometimes resulted in inaccurate translations that could confuse site visitors.
Moreover, the widget lacked multilingual SEO capabilities. It didn't display content under language subdirectories or subdomains, and there was no use of hreflang tags, which are crucial for informing search engines about the language of web pages.
While the widget is no longer an option, you can still harness the power of machine translation with Google Translate by using its paid translation API. This requires a Google Cloud account and some setup.
But, if you're looking for a more streamlined solution, Seatext AI is the way to go.
