What are the main risks of using a JavaScript translation widget instead of a real localization agent?

The widget translates in the browser only, so Google cannot index the text and you get no organic search traffic from other countries. It also tends to produce literal translations that sound unnatural to native speakers. Seatext's localization agent creates indexable pages with hreflang and context-aware copy, avoiding both risks.
