Website translation software is different from manual translation or plugins because it automates the process of translating website content, making it faster, more consistent, and scalable compared to manual translation. Manual translation requires human intervention for updates or new content additions. Plugins, while offering translation features, often lack the capabilities and integrations needed for an ongoing translation process. Website translation software like Localize integrate directly into your website, automate the translation process, sync content in real-time, and ensure consistency across languages.
