About
Translation should not live inside any single CMS.
That's the conviction behind Paragraphs. Everything else follows from it.
The thing we're trying to do.
We make translation infrastructure that's portable, predictable, and aligned with where the web is going — including the parts of the web that LLM crawlers are indexing. We're not the world's first translation product. We're the first one designed for the way content is built and discovered in 2026.
Why we built this.
BuiltByGo Ltd has been building WordPress agency infrastructure since 2017. We run dozens of multilingual sites for clients in the UK, US, and EU. Every one of them sits on WPML, Polylang, or a hand-rolled mix. Every one of them is a long-term maintenance commitment.
In 2025 we hit the breaking point on a particular client whose URL structure needed to change but couldn't, because WPML wouldn't let it. We started sketching what a translation layer might look like if it lived above the CMS rather than inside it. Six months later we had a working prototype on three of our own client sites. Paragraphs is what we built.
Small, focused, technical.
