Weglot

Weglot SAS

3,5 Good
EU/EEA Translation Freemium EU data storage ✓

SYSTRAN (ChapsVision)

3,3 Good
EU/EEA Translation Freemium EU data storage ✓ ISO 27001

French machine translation with explicit data sovereignty, configurable automatic deletion of stored file translations, and option for on-premise server. The catch is that translation quality into Swedish often does not quite reach DeepL.

  • Can run in private cloud or on-premise
  • Swedish quality usually a step below DeepL

Best for: Privacy-conscious companies that want EU-based translation with control over how long texts are stored.

3,0 Good
EU/EEA Translation From approx 285 SEK/month EU data storage ✓ ISO 27001

Czech (formerly Memsource) platform for professional translation management with translation memory, terminology and machine translation in one. Built for translation teams, which makes it both expensive and overwhelming for a small business.

  • Complete translation management with memory and terminology
  • EU data storage selectable (Ireland) at registration
  • More extensive and more expensive than what most small businesses need

Best for: Companies with recurring, larger translation flows that want to control quality, memory and terminology in one place.
