LFW Multilingual

Try it: you are the AI

This is what the work looks like from the inside. LFW splits a page into small pieces, hands them over, and checks everything that comes back.

Translate the four pieces below and watch the page on the right. Then try to break it.

How a page gets translated

1. Your site sends its public pages. A small plugin captures each page the way an anonymous reader sees it. Private, password-protected and no-index pages never leave your site.
2. LFW splits each page into sentences. The same sentence on fifty pages is one piece of work. Links and formatting become numbered tags, so a translator handles words and nothing else.
3. Your AI translates. You say “translate what is waiting.” It receives each sentence with the text around it, your glossary and your style brief.
4. LFW checks every translation and refuses any that lose a link, add an address or carry markup. You saw those checks run above.
5. LFW assembles the whole page and your site serves it from its own storage. A page appears in a language only when every sentence on it is translated.

These are the real screens, with fictional demonstration data. No AI ran on LFW's side to produce them: the translations were written by Claude through the same connection a client's AI uses.

More than word for word

A good translated site is not the English site with the words swapped. Four things handle the rest.

Addresses in the reader's language

/es/membresia/ in place of /es/membership/. Your AI proposes the words and LFW makes the address. Change one later and every earlier address keeps working.

A different image, video or document

Show the Spanish flyer, the French PDF, the video recorded in Vietnamese. YouTube and Vimeo videos turn on captions in the page's language by themselves.

Sections for one language only

Mark any block to appear in some languages and not others. A block written for Spanish readers is shown to them exactly as you wrote it.

Pages you write yourself

When translation is the wrong tool, write the page in that language on your own site and pair it with the English one. Yours stands in, and the language links point to it.

What keeps a translation safe

• A translation can only rearrange your site's own links and formatting around new words. It cannot add a tag, a script or a web address.
• Your AI can read what needs translating and submit translations. It cannot publish under a review rule, approve, delete, replace a file or change a setting.
• Replacing an image and pairing a page are done by people in the portal, never by an AI.
• Every translation records who or what wrote it and when. A person's rewrite cannot be overwritten by an AI.
• You can disconnect an AI, or revoke a key, in the portal at any time.

What it does not do

• It does not translate the words inside an image or a PDF. It lets you show a different file in each language.
• It does not translate content served by another company's system, such as a membership directory, a payment form or a map.
• It does not convert prices. A Spanish-speaking member still pays in dollars, and changing a price is your decision.
• It does not translate email, or text that appears only after a script runs in the browser.

Where it runs, and where it stands

LFW Multilingual is for sites on WordPress first. The plugin works through the LFW Connect connection, so there is no second key to manage. A connector for static sites does the same two jobs: send pages, serve what comes back.

It is new. It runs today on LFW's own demonstration sites and is not on a client's site yet. If you want to be early, that conversation starts with a call.

The practical questions

Which AI does the translating?

Whichever one you already pay for. Claude and ChatGPT connect directly, and anything that can call a web API can do the same work on a schedule. We recommend Claude: Opus 5 for the style brief, the glossary and review passes, Sonnet 5 for first drafts.

Does LFW see our AI account, or pay for the translation?

No to both. Your AI signs in to LFW Multilingual, never the other way around. LFW stores the text, checks each translation and serves the pages. LFW's servers call no AI model anywhere in this product, which is why there is no charge per word.

Is machine translation good enough for our site?

For most informational pages, yes, when the AI is given a style brief and a glossary, and LFW gives it both with every batch. Where a mistake would cost you, turn on the review rule. Then nothing is published until a person approves it, sentence by sentence or all at once.

What happens when we edit the English page?

Only the sentences you changed go back in the queue. Until they are translated, the new English shows through on the translated page, marked as English for screen readers. A changed date or price is never left wrong in another language.

Which languages?

Nineteen today, all written left to right, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Somali and Amharic. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu are not offered yet, because a right-to-left page needs design work on each site.

What if we stop working together?

Your translations are yours. The portal downloads every published translation, with the glossary, as one file. Translated pages are stored on your own website, so they keep serving if LFW is unreachable, and removing the plugin removes the language addresses and changes nothing else.

What does it cost?

It is priced per website and by the number of languages, with no word count, and the price is set with you. The translating runs on the AI subscription you already have.
