Webpage Translator
Paste a URL or raw HTML and get a translated copy of the page. Visible text turns into your target language while every tag, attribute, class, and script stays exactly intact. The output is a real localized page, not a screen overlay.
Tags untouched
Only the visible text changes
Try this with our Text Translator
Paste your page HTML, pick a target language, and translate. The output keeps your full DOM structure with translated copy in every visible text node.
Why translate HTML on the server side
Browser based on the fly translation is convenient for readers, but it gives you nothing that you can ship. Search engines see your page in the source language. Users with extensions disabled see the source language. Your CMS still stores the source language. To actually serve a localized site, you need a translated copy of the HTML that lives on your server with your other assets. That is what a webpage translator produces.
The technical challenge is that HTML mixes content and structure. A naive translation might rewrite class names, break attribute values, mangle script blocks, or change the structure of nested elements so much that the layout collapses. A webpage aware translator parses the HTML into a DOM, walks the tree, identifies which text nodes are visible content, and translates only those. Tags, attributes, scripts, and styles are routed around the translation engine entirely so they cannot be modified.
The result is a target language HTML file that you can deploy to a locale subdirectory, paste into a CMS, embed in an email template, or stage for a translator review. It still validates as HTML. It still renders with the same layout. It still works with the same JavaScript. The only thing that changes is what a human reader sees on the page, and that is exactly the goal.
How to translate a webpage
- 1
Grab the page HTML
Use view source in your browser, export from your CMS, or copy the rendered HTML from your dev tools. Either a fragment, such as a single article body, or a full page works. Paste the HTML into the source field of the translator.
- 2
Pick the target language
Choose from over one hundred target languages. The translator parses the HTML, identifies visible text nodes, and routes only those for translation. Tags, attributes, classes, IDs, scripts, and styles all stay exactly as you pasted them.
- 3
Paste the output back in place
Copy the translated HTML. Drop it into your CMS, your static site under a locale route, or your email template. Because the DOM structure matches the source, your CSS still styles every element the same way and your JavaScript still finds every selector it needs.
Where webpage translation fits
Marketing landing pages
Campaign pages tend to be one off pieces of HTML hand built outside the CMS. Translating the HTML directly gives you a localized landing page in minutes that you can ship under a locale subdirectory. Tracking pixels, form actions, and analytics scripts all keep working because none of them are touched during translation.
Email templates
Transactional and broadcast emails are HTML, often with tables for layout and inline styles for client compatibility. Translating the HTML preserves all those layout tricks while replacing the copy that users actually read. You can ship a localized email version for every market on the same send schedule.
Static site pages
Static sites generated with Astro, Next.js, Hugo, or Eleventy render to HTML files. Translating the rendered HTML lets you mirror your site under locale subdirectories without rewriting the source content. The locale tree is updated independently and re translates only the files that actually changed since the last build.
CMS article export and import
Many CMS platforms let you export an article body as HTML and import it back into a sibling language record. Translating the HTML between export and import gives you a populated article in the new language with the same image embeds, callout boxes, and inline links intact, ready for an editor to review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this translator do that a browser translator does not?
A browser translator changes what you see on screen, but the underlying HTML on the server stays in the source language. This tool gives you a translated HTML file you can save, deploy, or hand off. The visible text is in your target language while every tag, attribute, class, ID, and inline script reference stays intact, so the result is a real localized page rather than a one time visual overlay.
Are HTML tags and attributes preserved?
Yes. Tags such as div, span, a, h1 through h6, p, ul, li, and so on are passed through untouched. Attributes like href, src, alt, class, id, and data values are not translated, since they drive layout and behavior. Visible text content inside the tags is the only thing translated, plus a few human readable attributes such as alt and title where translation actually makes sense.
Can it handle pasted HTML or only URLs?
You can paste raw HTML directly. That works for fragments out of a CMS, a component snippet, or an email template body. For a full page, copy the visible HTML from your browser view source or your CMS export. The translator will identify the text nodes, translate them, and write a new HTML string with the same DOM structure ready for paste back into your CMS or template.
What about scripts and inline styles?
Inline script blocks and CSS style blocks are protected. Code is not translated. JavaScript string literals inside script tags are also kept verbatim, since translating them could break functionality. CSS class names and rules stay exactly as written. The translator only touches the human readable text in the DOM, never the code that drives the page.
Will the translated HTML still validate?
Yes. The output is parsed and re-serialized through the same DOM model that produced the input, so balanced tags stay balanced, self closing tags stay self closing, and entity encoding is normalized to a consistent form. If your source HTML was valid, the translated HTML will be valid. If your source had quirks, the parser may fix some of them on the way out.
Can I use this to localize a static site?
Yes, with one translation pass per language. Paste each page HTML, run the translator, and save the output as the localized version of that page. Most static site generators have a workflow for serving different language versions from sibling routes, for example /es/ or /fr/. Drop the translated HTML into those routes and the rest of your build pipeline keeps working unchanged.
