Page translation for newsletters & local media

Link to any local page. Your readers open it in their language.

Unwalled translates the pages you link to into your readers’ language, keeping their layout and photos, under your brand. It also opens the news sites that Google Translate can’t get past.

No card needed. One signed link per page, no install for readers.

Shibuya moves bulky-waste pickup bookings online from next month

Living · by Sato
Translating picture…

From October 1, Shibuya ward will take bulky-waste pickup bookings on its website around the clock. Until now, bookings were by phone on weekdays only.

Fees start at ¥200 per item and are paid with a disposal sticker bought at a convenience store.

One link, four parts

Why this exists

Free page translators stop at the gate

We built Unwalled for our own city newsletter. A good share of the sources we cited opened in Google Translate as an error page or a “checking your browser” screen instead of an article.

“Just a moment…” · HTTP 403

Anti-bot checks

Cloudflare and CDN browser checks turn away datacenter traffic. The translator gets the challenge page, and that’s what your reader sees.

HTTP 406 · geo-block

Foreign IPs refused

Many city portals and regional papers only answer visitors from inside the country, or refuse cloud IPs outright.

word-break: break-all

Layouts that break

Japanese and Chinese stylesheets split English words in half, and hotlink-protected photos go blank. The article technically loads, and nobody can read it.

How it works

From your link to a translated page

  1. You sign the link

    Your newsletter tool, CMS or our API turns a source URL into an Unwalled link. It takes one line of code, or none if you use the domain rules in the dashboard.

  2. We fetch it locally

    We load the page the way a local visitor would, from home internet connections in the page’s own country, and in the phone or desktop version to match your reader’s device.

  3. Readers get it translated

    The part of the page on screen is translated first, then the rest. Every later reader of that page gets it instantly from the cache.

Features

Built for people who send links for a living

The original layout, not a text dump

Photos, captions, tables and navigation stay where the publisher put them. Readers can switch back to the original with one tap.

Local connections in the page’s country

Pages are fetched from home internet connections in the source’s country, so geo-blocked and bot-protected sites open.

Phone and desktop versions

Readers on phones get the site’s mobile page, readers on laptops get the desktop page, each cached separately.

Your brand on every page

The top bar carries your name, logo and a subscribe link, so every forwarded article can bring you a new reader.

Ready before you hit send

Links in an issue are loaded when you render it, so the first reader doesn’t wait for a slow or protected site.

A daily spending cap

Set a daily limit. After it, readers still get everything already translated and a link to the original, never a dead end.

Optional · text in pictures

Posters, signs and infographics, translated too

When a picture carries the news, like a notice, a timetable or a menu, we redraw it with the text in your reader’s language, in the same lettering and in the same place. Photos without foreign text stay as they are.

  1. Every picture is checked firstA quick look tells us whether it has readable text in another language, and skips logos, watermarks and photo credits.
  2. Only those get redrawnThe picture comes back identical except for the words, which match the original font, colour and angle.
  3. Swapped in when readyReaders see the original first and the translated picture a few seconds later. “Original” in the bar brings the source back.

Pay as you go · $0.03 per page · $0.25 per picture

No monthly fee. Sign links through the API and pay only for pages that get translated. Good for tools, bots and occasional use.

Get an API key

A translated page is one web address in one reading language, counted once per 24 hours no matter how many people open it. The phone and desktop versions of the same page count as one. Pages that fail to load aren’t counted. A translated picture is one image redrawn in one language, done once and reused wherever it appears; pictures we check and leave alone are free. Extra pictures beyond your plan are $0.25 each.

Questions

Before you ask

Do readers need to install anything?

No. It’s a normal link. It opens in any browser, including the one built into Gmail and other mail apps.

What happens if a site can’t be loaded?

The reader is sent to the original page. They never see an error page from us, and the page doesn’t count toward your plan.

Can someone else use my links to translate their own pages?

No. Every link carries a signature made with your key, so changing the address makes it invalid. Changing the reading language keeps working, so readers can switch languages in the bar.

Which languages do you support?

Pages in any language, translated into any language your readers read: English, Ukrainian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Vietnamese and many more. Starter includes one reading language, Growth three, Scale and Publisher any number. Readers can switch language from the bar.

Do you translate text inside pictures?

Yes, if you want it. We check each picture for text in another language and redraw only those, keeping the original lettering. It takes a few seconds per picture, so readers see the original first. You can switch it off per plan or per domain.

Is the translation any good?

Each page goes to current AI translation models with the source language named and neighbouring lines as context. When a model returns a line untranslated, we ask again, and we don’t save the bad answer.

Do you keep copies of the pages?

Only for 24 hours, so repeat readers load instantly. After that, the next reader triggers a fresh load of the live page.

Your next issue, fully readable.

200 translated pages free every month on any plan. Set up in the time it takes to send a test email.

Terms of Service

Last updated 23 September 2026

Draft for legal review. Items in brackets are placeholders, and this text isn’t legal advice. Have it checked for your jurisdiction before you take payments.

These terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name], [registered address] (“Unwalled”, “we”). They cover the Unwalled website, dashboard, API and translated-page links (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you accept them. If you use it for an organisation, you confirm you can bind that organisation.

1. What the Service does

Unwalled turns links to third-party web pages into links that open a machine-translated copy of the page. To do this we fetch the page, sometimes through proxy connections in the page’s country, show it with a translation bar, translate its text and, if you enable it, redraw text inside pictures. Translated copies are served from a short-term cache.

2. Accounts

3. Plans, quotas and payment

4. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

We may block specific links, domains or accounts that break these rules, and will tell you when we do unless the law or an ongoing investigation prevents it.

5. Third-party content

6. Translations

Translations are produced automatically by AI models and may be incomplete or wrong. They are provided for convenience and are not certified. Don’t rely on them for legal, medical, financial or safety decisions; check the original page, which is always one tap away in the translation bar.

7. Your content and data

You keep all rights to the links, branding and settings you give us. You grant us the rights we need to run the Service for you, such as showing your name and logo in the translation bar. How we handle personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service running but don’t guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, except where a Publisher agreement includes an uptime commitment. Some sites can’t be fetched or translated; when that happens, readers are sent to the original page. We may change or discontinue features and will give notice of changes that materially reduce what your plan includes.

9. Liability

To the extent the law allows, the Service is provided “as is”, and neither party is liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

10. Ending the agreement

You can close your account at any time from the dashboard. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or leave invoices unpaid, after notice where reasonable. On closure, links stop being translated and send readers to the original pages.

11. General

These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], and the courts of [venue] have jurisdiction, unless consumer law where you live says otherwise. We may update these terms; for material changes we’ll email you at least 30 days before they apply. Questions: [support@your-domain].

Privacy Policy

Last updated 23 September 2026

Draft for legal review. Items in brackets are placeholders, and this text isn’t legal advice. Check it against your actual setup and the laws that apply to you (for example the GDPR) before publishing.

This policy explains what personal data [Company legal name] (“Unwalled”, “we”) handles, why, and your choices. It covers two groups: customers who create an account, and readers who open a translated link.

Readers of translated pages

WhatWhyHow long
The page address, reading language, whether you’re on a phone or desktop, and whether the page loadedTo serve the right version, count usage for the customer, and fix sites that fail[e.g. 90 days]
A copy of the page you openedSo the next reader gets it instantlyUp to 24 hours
Text fragments of pages and their translationsNot to translate the same text twice[e.g. 12 months]
Your IP address and browser details, in server logsSecurity and abuse prevention by our hosting provider[per hosting provider, typically days]

We don’t store your IP address with the page you read, don’t set our own cookies on translated pages, and don’t build profiles of readers.

The original site’s scripts still run. A translated page keeps the publisher’s own code, which may include their analytics, adverts and cookies. Those are controlled by the publisher and their partners, under their privacy policies. The “Open original” link takes you to the publisher’s site.

Customers

Product emails, only if you opt inUpdates and offersConsent, withdrawable any time

We keep account data while your account is open and for [e.g. 30 days] after closure, except invoices, which we keep as long as tax law requires.

Who processes data for us

Some of these are outside your country, including in the United States. Where the law requires it, transfers are covered by safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, object to or restrict some processing, and withdraw consent. Write to [privacy@your-domain]; we’ll answer within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

Security

Links are signed so they can’t be used to translate arbitrary pages, secrets are kept in encrypted storage, and access to production data is limited to the people who need it.

Children

The Service isn’t aimed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect their data for accounts.

Changes and contact

We’ll post updates here and email customers about material changes. Controller: [Company legal name], [registered address]. Contact: [privacy@your-domain][; EU representative / DPO if required].
