Billing FAQ

Do I need 1 membership per domain?

Every plan and its translation quota is associated with one domain. Though, you can subscribe to an unlimited number of plans for multiple websites with one Linguise user account (if you have many clients, for example). If you are representing a web agency and want to translate 3 websites or more, we can generate a discount for you. Just use the contact form here to get in touch, we’ll do the rest.

Can I limit the translations to some parts of my website?

That’s possible in the first step of the website domain registration or afterward using a content exclusion rule. For example, it’s possible to exclude a blog translation in one or several languages by adding an exclusion rule by URL like www.domain.com/blog/* You can find more information in the documentation here >>

Why do I need an active subscription to translate?

Yes, an active plan is required to give translations to your customers. The translations are stored on a Linguise cache server and in a remote database. Every time a new content or a new part of an existing content is detected on the website, it will go through the translation API. That’s why an active plan is required.

I’m scared that I have too many words on my website

That depends on the number of languages you want to use. Translation quota is calculated as following: (Number of word in the original language X Number of translated languages) – The translation exclusions Whenever you reach more than 600 000 words, the UNLIMITED plan is the solution as you don’t have to worry about word count, it’s unlimited.

Can I stop after a month?

If you cancel your subscription (or just don’t activate a subscription), your translations will stop to be served to your website visitors. If you reactivate it, they’ll be back online. We know it may not be an easy decision to translate with an entirely new system. This is why we are offering a 30-day trial with no commitment required. We also offer dedicated support if you need any assistance.

Why is the Large plan not included in the 1st month free?

The unlimited (large) subscription cannot be used with the trial. That’s because the major cost of the service is the amount of Neural Machine Translation API we pay for and the Large plan has no limit. What is recommended is using the trial with a few languages and limiting the translation to a certain part of your content, using a global rule. You can, for example, exclude your blog pages from translation. Here is a documentation about how to add rules: Exclude pages from translation using URLs

Will you change prices in the future?

We have not planned to make any prices change in the future for several reasons. The translation API market prices have been very stable the last 5 years or so. Also the way we store and avoid useless content to be translated are going in this way too.

What happens when the subscription expires?

Your site will not be translated anymore if your subscription is expired. That means all your translated content won’t be served to your visitors. That’s because the major cost of the service is the amount of Neural Machine Translation API we pay for, and once the translation is made it has to be stored and served from our servers. Linguise is based on a SaaS model (Software as a Service). Do you need more time to decide, like 10 more days? We can reactivate it, or you can also subscribe and get your translation back. Le us know and we

What happens when I upgrade a subscription?

If you upgrade to a new plan, we will apply a prorated price.It means that you will be refunded for the time you did not spend on the current plan, and you will only pay for the remaining time on the new plan. In any case, during the upgrade process you will have a summary of the upgrade, and you’ll see all the information you need before confirming your upgrade.

Technical FAQ

Why is my form content not translated?

When Linguise is activated all your website content is translated but not a contact form? This is probably due to the fact that the form content is loaded asynchronously using AJAX, therefore, Linguise cannot get the content to translate it. What’s the solution? The solution to that depends on the CMS and the contact form extension you have, but if the form provider is using this method, there’s probably a setting to disable it. On WordPress, here’s a non-exhaustive list of the contact plugins that work with Linguise or have an option to disable asynchronous loading: Gravity forms Formidable Forms

Browser language redirect is not working or not working as expected

If it’s not working at all, it could be due to a caching service that prevent our script to be called (like Varnish, Cloudflare, WP Rocket, WP Speed of Light, …).
If Linguise is not called, it will not be able to redirect the user. Redirections are only applied with new visitors, in non multilingual pages. If the visitors loads directly a translated page it means that he wants a translated version. We don’t redirect him in this case. We also don’t redirect when the visitor navigate under your site and has already loaded a page. If you’re testing redirection make

The translation rules are not applied

First, replacements or ignore rules will only be applied to new generated urls.It’s necessary to avoid 404 pages on old urls that could hurt SEO. You’ll have to update the urls directly in the Linguise dashboard and create your redirection rules in your .htaccess file. Now, about the rules not applied in html content, it could be due to the local cache.You can clear the local cache in the extension settings in the admin side of your website.Just press the “Clear cache” button and it should be good.If you have other cache services in front of your website, like Cloudflare,

My website layout changed after the translation

It may be because your content is inline HTML, like <span>Hello<span>World</span></span>. Therefore, Linguise consider it as an inline content, and tries to apply the correct span tags in the translation where the terms may not be at the same position.  It can then render tags a bit differently than it was at first.  If you rely on it for your positioning, it may change how it’s displayed.  There are two options to fix it: You update the original content to block elements where you visually want block elements (replace some spans with div of p) You can add a rule

Some AJAX content are not translated

Unfortunately, Linguise can not translate dynamic content that is loaded asynchronously. It has to see the actual HTML content when the page is loaded. It’s possible to handle it, but it requires a custom development for each plugin/extension that uses the AJAX request. We’ve done some integrations already, like WooCommerce and emails translations, but unfortunately, we can’t do integrations with all existing extensions for all CMSs. If you’re in this case, please reach out to our support team or the forum to ask for a custom integration. We’ll check the feasibility and the number of requests we have to validate
