Why I created TrueLang
The story of a guy who got tired of being ripped off.
My name is Theo. Crazy coder, graphic designer, web designer. I've been living in WordPress for years.
Like many devs, I needed to translate my websites. And like many, I chose Weglot. It was simple, it worked. But the price...
At first, €24 per month. Fair enough. Then I added languages. 3 languages, €95 per month. To translate WordPress websites. Seriously?
My real Weglot invoices
True fact. Here's the evolution of my Weglot invoices over 15 months.
📊 The evolution of my pain:
Total paid in 15 months: €810.95
With TrueLang: €99. Once. Forever.
The eureka moment
One day, I did the math. Weglot charges a monthly subscription to host your translations on THEIR servers. You own nothing. You stop paying, your translations disappear.
The worst part is that because it cost me too much, I had to stop translating this site for almost 8 months.
What if we did it differently? What if YOU used your own API key (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini...) to translate your own website? It costs peanuts. Like, a few cents for an entire website.
The translations? Stored directly in your WordPress. They belong to you. You only pay for the translation once. And you keep everything, even if you stop using TrueLang.
The build
I let loose. Dedicated WordPress plugin. Visual editor. Automatic SEO migration. Support for all page builders (Elementor, Divi, Breakdance, Gutenberg...).
The result? A tool that does the job. No bullshit, no subscription that bloats, no dependency. Your data, on your side.
And the price? A one-time license. €99 per website. Forever. Updates included.
Stop being ripped off.
You also have a site and want to go international? Or you already have a few languages but are tired of paying every month for robotic translations. Ready for a fresh start, to save money?
Jump in with me. What will you do with the savings? Restaurant? Vacation? Blow it all at the casino?
