Linguana

Linguana is a hybrid website-translation service for teams that need localized pages without rebuilding their site. It suits owners of Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Wix, WordPress, or Kajabi sites who also care about multilingual search visibility. Its strongest case is broad language coverage with control over machine output; its main constraint is that AI credits are a one-time allowance and updates require a manual publishing workflow.

Overview

Linguana parses a site’s content and caches translated versions as static pages served through its CDN. It can process page text as well as metadata, titles, media files, and alt tags, giving localization work a wider scope than simple on-page translation. Installation is presented as a click-and-copy-paste process, so it is aimed at site owners who want a no-code deployment rather than a developer-led integration.

The service combines Google Cloud Translations-based automatic translation with a visual editor for manual changes. Manual translations do not consume AI credits, while each AI credit covers one translated word. Linguana says all 109 supported languages can use its AI translation, although plan entitlements cap how many translated languages you can run at once.

Key features

Hybrid translation

Automatic translation provides scale for initial coverage, and the visual editor lets you correct or refine important copy without spending more AI credits. This is useful when a site needs many languages but requires human control over brand, legal, or conversion-critical wording.

Multilingual SEO

Translated URL slugs and translated metadata support localized search structures. Because Linguana also parses titles and alt tags, teams can localize more of the signals that search engines and visitors encounter, rather than translating only visible paragraphs.

Static delivery and maintenance

Cached static pages delivered from a CDN should give translated routes a delivery model suited to public marketing sites. The trade-off is operational: when the source website changes, the setup guide requires you to sync, translate, and publish those changes manually.

Pricing

Linguana uses a freemium structure, with prices shown in the yearly pricing view. There are no charges based on page count or visitor numbers, but AI credits are granted once and do not renew, so ongoing machine-translation volume depends on the initial allowance and later plan changes.

The free plan includes email support; all paid plans specify priority email support. None of the plans charge per page or visitor, which makes traffic growth more predictable than usage models tied to views.

Platforms

Linguana runs on the web and supports Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Wix, WordPress, and Kajabi. That range covers hosted builders, CMS platforms, and a self-hosted option, making it a practical fit when changing the underlying site platform is not desirable.

Who it's for

Choose Linguana for a marketing or content site that needs SEO-aware localization across one or several supported platforms, especially when a team wants to combine fast machine output with manual editing. Starter fits a single branded site in up to three languages; Individual suits a small portfolio of sites or a multilingual expansion; Business is for agencies or organizations with unlimited site needs. The service is less suitable when translations must update automatically whenever source content changes, or when a recurring credit allowance is essential.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Hybrid AI and manual translation lets teams scale first drafts while preserving editorial control.
• Pro: URL-slug and metadata translation supports a fuller multilingual SEO setup.
• Pro: No per-page or visitor fees keep costs from rising directly with traffic.
• Pro: Support for six major website platforms broadens where it can be deployed.
• Con: AI credits are a one-time grant, so machine-translation capacity does not automatically refresh.
• Con: Website changes require manual syncing, translation, and publishing, adding maintenance work.
• Con: The Free plan allows only one translated language, excludes custom domains, and displays a Linguana badge.
