1. What is the total number of translated words?
Your word count represents the total number of words translated by Weglot. You can see it on your Weglot Dashboard:
- The number of words you have in your original language
- The number of translated languages you are managing
Note that this number is not related to your website traffic.
Also, if you’re using a Pro plan or upper, you can manage multiple projects on the same Weglot account. In this case, please note that the number of translated words corresponds to the total number of words to be translated and shared on your different projects. For example, if you manage 3 projects on a Pro plan, you must be careful not to exceed 200,000 words for all your projects. For instance, the following structure:
- Project 1: 100,000 words
- Project 2: 75,000 words
- Project 3: 22 000 words
It means that there are 197,000 - 200,000 = 3,000 words remaining to translate across these 3 projects.
You can see the details of the number of translated words you have on each project here
2. What type of content is taken into account?
Note that media translations or external links that you manually add to your Translations list do not increase your word count. It means that content such as images, videos, PDFs, and/or URLs are not increasing your total number of translated words
Finally, Weglot does not delete your translations, they are also kept in your Translation List unless you delete them manually.
3. How is it calculated?
Weglot does not translate your website instantly when you install the app.
Translations are generated and added progressively to your Translation List when someone (visitors, you, or search engines such as Google bots) visits your website in the translated language.
So in order to generate all your translations you can either:
- Manually visit your translated pages
- Use our Manage URLs feature (see How can I manage my URLs and generate the translations?)
