Website Translator — 200+ Languages, No API Key Required

Translate any website into 200+ languages using a multi-provider chain: DeepL (if you have a key) → Meta NLLB-200 via Hugging Face → LibreTranslate → MyMemory. The actor automatically falls back to the next provider if one fails or isn't configured, so it works with zero credentials out of the box.

Provide URLs and target language — the actor scrapes the page content, translates it in chunks, and returns the original + translated text in a structured dataset.

Performance & limits

• Speed: ~5–15 seconds per page (depends on text length and provider)
• Concurrency: Sequential (1 page at a time) to respect free-tier rate limits
• Free tier limits: LibreTranslate/MyMemory work without keys; for high-volume jobs add DeepL or HuggingFace
• Text limit: Configurable up to 50,000 chars/page via maxCharsPerPage
• Agent-ready: This actor is compatible with x402 micropayment protocol for autonomous agent use

Pricing

This actor uses Pay Per Event (PPE) pricing: $0.005 per page translated.

Pages	Estimated cost
10 pages	~$0.05
100 pages	~$0.50
500 pages	~$2.50

Provider API costs (HuggingFace, DeepL) are separate and billed by those services. The free tiers of all providers are sufficient for most workflows.

FAQ

Do I need API keys? No. LibreTranslate and MyMemory work without any credentials. Keys for DeepL or HuggingFace unlock higher quality and higher quotas.

What language codes do I use? Use standard ISO 639-1 codes: es (Spanish), fr (French), de (German), pt (Portuguese), zh (Chinese), ar (Arabic), ja (Japanese), ko (Korean), ru (Russian), hi (Hindi), etc.

How does the provider fallback work? The actor tries providers in order (DeepL if key provided → HuggingFace if token provided → LibreTranslate → MyMemory). If a provider fails or hits a quota limit, it automatically moves to the next one — transparently.

Can it translate entire sites? Yes. Use maxDepth: 1 or 2 to follow internal links, or enable useSitemap to auto-discover all URLs from the site's sitemap.xml.

What happens to untranslatable content? JavaScript-rendered content, paywalled pages, and very short pages (no meaningful text) are skipped with a warning in the logs.
