Weglot
Our Mission
Website translation: make it easy! Weglot is a SaaS solution that makes languages to a website easy – as it should be!
Weglot is used by +60k companies and industries to translate their websites. Our vision: providing a solution so effortless that one day, all the websites will be multilingual.
Founded in 2016, Weglot is a user-friendly SaaS platform providing a multilingual service for website owners. The translation solution improves the global accessibility and visibility of company sites. Having raised €45 million in Series A funding round from Partech in 2022, Weglot is growing and building their talented team to evolve and add more features to their product.
Today, Weglot’s growing crew is +40 people, and they’re building a talented and diverse team. The company values people over anything else: when it comes to who they hire, diversity, inclusiveness and open-mindedness are as important as the hardest of skills. And when it comes to promoting and empowering women, they have both the want and the way: 50% of women in managerial roles and in product, 30% in the workforce (from 27% in 2022).
We also love how they prioritize flexibility and meeting the different needs of their employees to reach a work-life balance.
At 50inTech, we loved our year together and we’re incredibly grateful for another year with Weglot!
– Caroline & the 50inTech team

Weglot and 50inTech
Having a presence on a platform dedicated to empower women and especially the women in the Tech field meets our will and our objectives.
