Does anyone have any experience with DakWak?

We are looking at using it as a translation service but I have SEO concerns. Does anyone have any experience or see any potential problems?

We are excited at the prospect of being able to put up multiple languages, at both the cost and effort level that your company describes.

But a couple of specific concerns that we need addressed before we could try the service is the potential for incurring Google penalties for both duplicated content and auto-generated content.

Can you provide some detailed insight as to how your service has addressed those issues?

Hi Niners52,

I personally do not know DakWak, so I went and checked it out. But first impression: Machine Translation is never good. "The quality of machine translation is around 60-70%" This is what they have said in their live chat.

I personally work for a company where we target 9 different languages, and I know how frustrating it can be, when you do not have the correct translation for a specific text. But I would strongly advise you NOT to use machine translation.

Somewhere in the past (2011-2012?) we have used some machine translation on a website and it was strongly hurting our user experience.

Since then even if it goes slower and the costs are higher, but we go for human translations.

I hope this was helpful.

Gr., Keszi
