Multilipi makes creating readable multilingual content quick and cheap — great for small teams, creators, and anyone tired of expensive subscriptions.

Pros

- Fast translations that usually sound natural
- Simple, clean interface — easy to learn
- Supports common file formats (DOCX, CSV, JSON)
- Glossary and tone options help keep consistency
- Much cheaper than monthly subscriptions (like the one I ditched)

Cons

- Occasionally strange phrasing on very technical topics
- Lacks some advanced project-management bells and whistles
- Not great for very rare languages

My experience (how I used it)
I started using Multilipi about 2 months ago after getting fed up with my monthly GTTranslate subscription. I was paying every month for decent-ish translations but still had to fix a lot of lines, and the cost kept piling up. So I tried Multilipi from an AppSumo deal and honestly — it’s been a relief. I move my website copy, product descriptions, and a lot of marketing emails through Multilipi now. It gives a solid first draft most of the time, and I only correct maybe 10–20% of the sentences.

It’s super fast — I can paste a long product page, set tone to “casual” and translate to Spanish and Portuguese in a few minutes. The inline editor is handy, although sometimes placeholder variables get a little messed up and I have to reinsert them. I also love the glossary: after adding branded terms it stopped swapping my product name for weird translations.

Quality
For everyday marketing and blog posts the output is very usable. Some sentences needed tweaking — a few awkward prepositions or odd phrasing — but nothing that required a full rewrite. For very technical docs I still bring in a human reviewer, but for landing pages and emails Multilipi is fine.

Why I left GTTranslate
GTTranslate wasn’t bad but it felt expensive for what I got. I was paying each month and still doing a lot of manual fixes. With Multilipi’s AppSumo deal I paid less overall (one-time or less frequent payment depending on the deal) and the quality is comparable — sometimes better for marketing tone. So I cancelled GTTranslate and moved everything here. No regrets so far.

Workflow and tips

- Use the glossary for product names and industry terms
- Pick the right tone (formal/informal) before translating
- Break very long docs into smaller chunks for easier review
- Watch out for placeholders — recheck them in the editor
- Always do a quick human pass for legal/medical content

Who should buy it

- Small teams and solo founders who need quick translations
- Content creators and e-commerce sellers expanding to other markets
- Freelancers who want AI-assisted drafts to speed up work

Who might skip it

- Big companies with complex localization workflows
- Projects needing certified human translation for legal documents
- Folks working only with obscure languages

Final thoughts
Multilipi isn’t perfect, but it hits the sweet spot for price vs. quality for most day-to-day translation needs. I dumped my monthly GTTranslate bill and haven’t looked back — it saves me money and time. If you do a lot of marketing copy, give it a try.
