Can it translate my whole website?+
No. A website link job translates one public page. It doesn't crawl your site, create /fr/ or /de/ subfolders, or install as a CMS or WordPress plugin. For several pages, run one job per page.
Why did my page fail to translate?+
The usual reasons are a page that needs a login, or a page that renders its text with JavaScript. Pagebirdy removes scripts and only works with the HTML the server sends, so in those cases there's no text to translate. The job explains which one it hit. The Chrome extension handles both, because it works on the page in your browser.
Is it safe to paste any link?+
Pagebirdy only fetches public internet addresses on ports 80 and 443, never localhost or private networks, and re-checks every redirect. All scripts are removed, and the translated copy is served sandboxed with no scripts and an opaque origin. Jobs are rate-limited per user and capped at a few at once.
What stays untranslated?+
Brand names, prices, numbers, URLs and email addresses are kept as they are. If anything else needs a fix, edit the segment in the review view and rebuild the copy.
How do I get the Chrome extension?+
It's in early access and not on the Chrome Web Store yet. Ask for access through the contact page. Once installed, it signs in with your Pagebirdy account.
Does the extension change the website itself?+
No. It only changes the text in your own browser tab, and Show original puts it back. The text it sends to Pagebirdy for translation isn't stored.
