wx.annesophieQ: Why is the translation made by Google translate?
Hi, another question...
I have tried to check the quality of the translation on your website.
I have clicked on several languages, and a popup appeared and showed that the translation was Google translate generated...
It feels a bit hard to trust the quality of your translation now. After all, what's the difference between your product and doing a right click and selecting another language? My community translates perfectly fine this way. I understand that your translatin is supposed to be context-based, but then why does Google translate translate your own website?
Perhaps MultiLipi helps with referencing in various languages across AI platforms (Chat GPT does mention you right after Weglot) but I'm not convinced it does anything google translate does not for free in terms of translation...

We do NOT use the free Google Translate that you get by right-clicking a webpage. In our experience, that free browser translation is simply not good enough for professional website localization.
We use Google’s paid Neural Machine Translation (NMT) API, which costs us around $20 per million characters. On top of that, we use Gemini LLM refinement for better context, terminology, tone, and overall accuracy.
So our translation pipeline is:
Paid Google NMT API → Gemini LLM refinement → Stored & reusable translation
On top of translation, MultiLipi provides actual multilingual infrastructure including SEO/GEO, hreflang, translated URLs and metadata, schema, Glossary/TM, editing tools, and AI-search visibility—something browser-based Google Translate simply doesn’t provide.
But please don’t take our word for it. Create a free account, add your own website, and use the 10,000 free AI-translated words to compare the quality yourself. I’m extremely confident you’ll see the difference.
Thank you for answering, but the concern I raised is the fact that, on multilipi.com when you choose to see the page in a language like Indonesian or Arabic, for example, a google translate popup appears; after what the page translates. I found it very suspicious coming from a saas that sells AI translation. Why is your own website translated with Google Translate ..?!

I understand what you mean now. That popup is from your browser, not MultiLipi. If your browser’s default language is English, it may automatically offer to translate Indonesian, Arabic, or other languages back to English.
It’s simply a browser recommendation and has nothing to do with MultiLipi’s translation system.
