I’ve used over 12 different AI translation services. From standalone AI translation models to big translation engines, and I’ll be 100% honest with you… I have a favorite.

But I will be as objective as possible when talking about the 3 best, because choosing the right automated language platform depends a lot on your needs.

Some people, when thinking about AI translation, ask themselves: Is ChatGPT good at translation?

But there’s more to it 🙂

AI translation services are essential to any business that’s scaling globally.

They are more needed than ever, and here’s a list of the best:

Ovesio™ – Best AI Scaling Engine For E-Commerce

If you’re into E-commerce and you need thousands or tens of thousands of translations done correctly… Ovesio is the right AI translation service for you.

Ovesio has been built to be modular through the extensive API documentation and SDKs, and its main focus is E-commerce AI translation.

Here are a few reason why Ovesio excels as an AI translation tool:

The Ovesio AI Translation Engine

Ovesio is unique thanks to their AI translation engine, which none of the AI translation services on the market can replicate without spends a ton of money and time.

It is super complex, but in a nutshell, here’s how it works:

1. Once you integrated Ovesio into your store (or used the plug-n-play plugins) you will send your product information to Ovesio
2. Ovesio will translate that text with multiple AI translation models (that you select)
3. Then the Ovesio AI Inspector, will analyze each piece of text from each version
4. This way, Ovesio compiles the most accurate translation possible with AI on the market
5. Now, the product is sent back to you, ready to added to your store

It can translate entire stores with tens of thousands of products into 29+ languages, in only hours.

That’s not all…

The Ovesio Multi-Integrator

Ovesio, under the hood, has integrated all the best AI translation software on the market. (at any time, it can add more)

So, it acts like a multi-integrator for AI translation.

Through Ovesio, you can use DeepL, GPT, Gemini, Microsoft Translator & Google Translate with only one subscription.

So when a text is translated, you can choose which AI translation models are being used.

If you want to use only one, you can do it too.

But we recommend using at least 2 or 3 because it will make the AI Inspector shine…

The Ovesio AI Inspector™

The AI Inspector is proprietary software that understand, analyzes and then compiles translations.

Let’s say we have a workflow in which we use 4 translators.

The same piece of text will be translated with all 4, and obviously, there will be variations.

How do we know which one is correct?

How do we know which one preserved its context?

Without somebody (or something) that understands these things, it’s impossible, and this represents a bottleneck in any automatic translation software.

But the AI Inspector solves this problem.

It has been trained to:

1. Understand context
2. Analyze phrases and sentences
3. Find inconsistencies and errors
4. Replace these errors with correct translations
5. Collect pieces from each of the 4 versions and compile one single translation with the highest accuracy possible with AI tools

How do we know it’s the highest accuracy possible?

We used the best AI translators, and then some.

All tools provide good results, but they are highly inconsistent.

But, the AI Inspector, and it’s step in the process makes AI translation reliable.

Content Generation & Multilingual SEO

Ovesio also has the ability to generate conversion-oriented product description from just a few words.

When importing products from suppliers, many people complain that they provide no description… and this is a real problem because products without descriptions look fake.

From just the title, Ovesio can generate a great description.

Automation Capabilities

The main reason why Ovesio is at the top of the list is the fact that everything we talked about, up to this point, can be controlled through the API.

Which means that you can make Ovesio part of your infrastructure, to the point where you just add a new product, and it will be translated instantly into 29+ languages.

You can also detect if it has a description or not, and if it doesn’t… you can generate one and then translate it to all the languages you selected.

This is why Ovesio is the best ai translation service on the market right now.

Weglot – Best For Hands-On Translation

Weglot is a great tool for translating e-commerce, and it works amazingly for smaller stores with a few hundred products, because you need to check the text manually.

So, if you have a small e-commerce store, keep reading this section.

Plug-n-Play Integrations

Weglot is amazing because it has plug-n-play integration with most major e-commerce platforms.

So it is super easy to install and get started using.

Supervised Translation

The fact that Weglot offers supervised translation is a good thing.

Usually, products with fewer products, are selling more expensive items… So, taking the time to review everything manually might provide a huge ROI.

Weglot AI Translation

Weglot also offers AI Translation, but it is not clear what models it uses.

However, it still requires a manual check.

So, unlike Ovesio, you cannot make it run 100% on autopilot.

DeepL – Best Word-For-Word AI Translation Service

DeepL is by far the best AI translation tool for legal documents, contracts and anything that must be translated accurately on a word-for-word basis.

When there’s no room for interpretation, DeepL is the best tool.

This also means it doesn’t understand context and for nuances of sentences and phrases it might not make sense, and when it does… it usually sounds wrong.

Can’t have everything at 10/10, but if you need to translate contracts and legal documents, this is the right tool because:

The DeepL Glossary

For technical and legal fields, DeepL offers Translation Glossaries for words that must be always translated the same.

This is extremely useful in industries that have standardized jargon and terminology.

Conclusion

To find the right AI translation services, you need to think about your needs.

Do you need automatic AI translation integrated right into your E-Commerce store or system? If you have thousands or even tens of thousands of products to be translated, you need Ovesio™. (which also generates product descriptions)

Maybe you want a more hands-on approach, since the volume of needed translations is lower. If you want to check everything manually after the AI gave you an output, you will go with something like Weglot.

If you want just quick translation, not integrated anywhere, you will go with DeepL.

Worth mentioning is that Ovesio has DeepL integrated into their AI translation engine, besides 4 other major AI translators.

So, if you have an Ovesio subscription, you can also use DeepL, Gemini, GPT, Microsoft Translator and Google Translate.

And if you were thinking about using DeepL through their API… Ovesio’s infrastructure is superior and provides better results thanks to their AI Inspector™.
