for example, http://fr.domain.com or http://es.domain.com or http://domain.com/de.</p> <p>Also, note that you can have a separate domain for each language such as domain.fr for instead of domain.com/fr or domain.de instead of de.domain.com.</p> <p>This will help simplify your SEO efforts.</p> <p><span>Another important perk that you will get is the URL translation.</span> <span>If you are really into multilingual SEO, then you will certainly value this feature!</span></p> <p style="text-align:center;"><img data-src="https://gtranslate.io/assets/images/url_translation.svg" class="lazyload" alt="URL Translation" width="320" height="200"></p> <h3>Machine translation and neural machine translation</h3> <p><span>Since both Google and Bing provide automatic translations for free, you will have these integrated into your free plan.</span> <span>This basically means that once you install GTranslate, your whole website will instantly be translated into multiple languages.</span></p> <p>For a more elaborate translation, you can pick one of the paid plans and enjoy Neural machine translation.</p> <h3>Translation editor</h3> <p><span>It's fine that you may not like ALL the translations that have been done automatically.</span> <span>You might want to edit them or change something in the text, or you might just want to change the visuals inside the page for better website localization.</span> <span>This is great.</span> <span>You are free to do so since you will always be able to manually edit the translations with the inline editor directly in the page you want edits to appear at.</span></p> <p><img data-src="https://gtranslate.io/assets/images/gtranslate-a5-2.png" class="lazyload" alt="In-context editor demo"></p> <h3>User dashboard</h3> <p><span>GTranslate will provide you with a user dashboard where you can track and measure all your efforts.</span> <span>Note that this goes into the paid plans only and can help you see and manage:</span></p> <ul> <li>General info about your subscription such as the status of your service, the age of your account, number of discovered and edited texts</li> <li>Analytics on translated pages</li> <li>Guidance on how to configure the service</li> <li>Settings allowing to skip translation of some word, phrases, or even entire pages</li> <li>List of collaborators you may add to help in managing your translated pages</li> <li>Billing info</li> <li>And many other advanced settings</li> </ul> <p></p> <h3>Professional translation</h3> <p><span>Besides automatic translations, you can order a professional translation or a review by a native speaker.</span> <span>This is a separate service which you can opt for if you want to take your website translation to the next level.</span></p> <h3>Easy updates</h3> <p><span>We all have got that super cool app that won't work perfectly if we forget to install the latest updates, right?</span> <span>But that's a real headache.</span> <span>So, with GTranslate, there is no such thing as having to remember to update the app.</span> <span>We do it all for you.</span> <span>Automagically!</span> <span>Just enjoy your website translation service.</span> <span>Every.
