A content-addressable translation graph that lives above your CMS. The whole pipeline, in five steps, with the data structure exposed.
WordPress plugin, Next.js adapter, Astro integration, Sanity plugin, or raw API. One config per project.
Write a post, ship a product, edit a docs page. Your editor stays exactly as it was.
Paragraphs hashes every translatable unit on save. blake3(unit_type || content). Same content, same fingerprint.
The cascade picks the right model per unit type. Quality-scored. Glossary-enforced. Memorised.
Cloudflare Worker substitutes at the edge — or write to messages/ at build time. Your call per project.
Every translatable unit gets a 12-character fingerprint derived from its content. Whether it's a button label, a paragraph, a product description, or a JSON-LD value — the marker is how the edge knows what to substitute.

);Glossary terms, translation memory matches, and branch state extend the same graph. Translations are first-class rows — versioned, queryable, exportable. Full data model →
| Mode | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Build-time | Static sites (Next.js / Astro / Nuxt) with stable content | Re-build on translation update; zero runtime cost |
| Edge runtime | WordPress, dynamic apps, frequent content updates | Cloudflare Worker substitutes in <40ms p99 |
| Hybrid | Marketing pages static, app pages dynamic | Configurable per-route in the dashboard |
Change a single block in a 50-block post and only the fingerprint for that block goes through the cascade. The other 49 stay cached. Translation costs scale with what you change, not what you have.
Switch from WordPress to Sanity in 2027? The same fingerprints still match, the same translations still serve. You don't pay to re-translate when you migrate platforms.
