**The product.** A service that makes a website multilingual without rebuilding it. The owner connects a site made with Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Wix, WordPress or Kajabi; Linguana reads its pages, translates the text with machine translation or lets the owner type the translation, and serves the translated pages from its own servers under addresses such as domain.com/es, with translated URLs and meta tags for search engines.

**Why it worked.** Site builders such as Webflow and Framer make it easy to build one site in one language. Adding languages with their own tools or with the market leader Weglot costs more as pages, visitors or languages grow. Linguana sold a flat monthly price with no charge per visitor or page, made manual translation free, and charged for machine translation by the word.

Evidence grades: A = disclosed by a public company, a filing or a payment processor, or verified by one; B = two or more independent reports agree, or a journalist confirmed it; C = a founder claim that no one else verified; D = reported, not verified: one founder claim or a third-party estimate with no second source; calc = computed on this page from graded facts.

## Summary

Linguana is a translation proxy for websites. A proxy is a server that stands between the visitor and the original site: when a visitor asks for the Spanish page, Linguana fetches the original page, replaces the text with the stored Spanish text, and sends the result. The owner does not copy or rebuild any page. The translations come from neural machine translation, translation by a trained AI model; the company says it uses Google Cloud's translation service together with its own code. Linguana also translates the URL slug, the readable last part of a web address, and the page titles and descriptions that search engines read, so each language version can be found in search in that language.

The product was first launched on Product Hunt on 28 February 2023 for Webflow sites, and a second launch for Framer followed on 27 July 2023. It is sold by CodeConda LLC, a US software studio that says it builds and buys web apps and runs 12 of them. Its revenue is read from Stripe by TrustMRR, a site that connects to a company's payment account through an API key. On 2 November 2026 TrustMRR showed US$114,187 in revenue all time, US$40,397 in the last 12 months, US$2,995 in the last 30 days, monthly recurring revenue of US$2,663 and 73 active subscriptions. On the same day the profile was listed for sale on TrustMRR with an asking price of US$97,000.

The revenue figures are grade A: TrustMRR reads them from Stripe. The team size of one person, the bootstrapped funding and the user count of 4,300 are written by the owner, grade C. No source names the person or people who built Linguana, and no source says whether CodeConda built it or bought it. The page also shows earlier companies that tried to sell translation or easier website building and failed.

- **27 July 2023** (grade C [7]): Second Product Hunt launch, Linguana for Framer: "Translate your Framer website into any language". Rank 18 of the day.
- **13 June 2024** (grade C [1]): Founded date entered on the TrustMRR profile.
- **July to September 2024** (grade C [10]): CodeConda's blog publishes guides for translating Webflow, Carrd and Wix sites with Linguana.
- **February 2026** (grade A [1]): Best month in TrustMRR's public timeline: US$5,239.
- **April 2026** (grade A [1]): Lowest month in the timeline: US$1,981.
- **October 2026** (grade A [1]): US$4,220 in verified revenue in the month.

## Why did Linguana work?

### Flat price where the leader charges by size

The pricing page says there are no charges per page or per visitor, and the FAQ says Linguana is a lot more affordable than Weglot. The plans are built around languages and websites, not traffic.

### Machine translation sold by the word, manual translation free

The subscription pays for hosting the translated pages. The AI part is a separate one-time purchase of credits, one credit per word, from US$50 for 50,000 words. Owners who translate by hand pay nothing for it.

### One proxy, many site builders

Because Linguana works on the published HTML of a site, the same system serves Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Wix, WordPress and Kajabi. Each builder got its own landing page and its own Product Hunt or blog launch, which multiplied the search pages without a new product.

### Search pages as the sales channel

The owner lists SEO, a blog and affiliates as marketing channels on TrustMRR. The English sitemap had 90 pages on 2 November 2026, 59 of them blog posts about localization and international SEO, and each page is also served in eight other languages by Linguana itself.

## How it was built

These details come from the owner-written part of the TrustMRR profile and from the company's own pages. They are grade C, except the payment provider, which TrustMRR confirms.

- React for the front end and Django, a Python web framework, for the back end, hosted on Google Cloud.
- Payments through Stripe, read by TrustMRR through an API key. TrustMRR lists "Merchant of record: No": Stripe processes the payments, and the company itself is the seller.
- Translation with Google Cloud's neural machine translation plus in-house code; 109 languages.
- The marketing site is built with Webflow and is itself translated by Linguana into Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.
- A parser reads the whole HTML of the customer's site, so it can translate hidden text such as meta tags, OpenGraph tags, page titles and image alt text. Translated pages are cached and served from a CDN, and a daily job can find changed content, translate it and publish it.
- An affiliate program pays 30% of a referral's payments for 12 months through PayPal.

## Who tried this before Linguana, and why did they fail?

Four companies in our database of failed startups tried to sell translation, global selling or easier website building, and failed. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.

The failed startups come from our database of dead startups, retold here in our own words; Its entries are AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so they carry no evidence grade.

### TurboTranslations (2014 to 2023; funding US$150K; cause: Ran Out of Cash)

- Promise: Faster and cheaper human translation through a marketplace of crowdsourced linguists.
- Why it died: Neural machine translation reached Google quality while it still sold human work, so customers stopped paying for the human step.
- Record: 

### Sosh (2012 to 2013; funding US$2.3M; cause: No Market Need)

- Promise: A drag-and-drop website builder that removes the handoff between designer and developer.
- Why it died: Too complex for beginners and too rigid for professionals. The database says the founders moved the technology and team into Webflow in 2013, the builder whose users Linguana first served.
- Record: 

### Pagedraw (2018 to 2021; funding US$1.5M; cause: Competition)

- Promise: Turn Sketch designs into React code automatically.
- Why it died: It depended on Sketch when designers moved to Figma, and developers did not want generated code.
- Record: 

### Digital River (SaaS) (1994 to 2025; funding US$200M; cause: Competition)

- Promise: Handle the payments, tax and other parts of global online selling for software companies.
- Why it died: Stripe and other API-first services took the developers, while the product stayed an old monolith.
- Record: 

## What changed

TurboTranslations sold human translation and was overtaken by machine translation. Linguana starts on the other side of that change: machine translation is the default, sold at US$0.10 per hundred words in the smallest credit pack, and the human edit is free because the customer does it. Pagedraw and Sosh show the risk of depending on one design or building tool; Linguana works on the finished HTML, so it serves six builders and is not tied to one.

Digital River sold the whole of global commerce to large software companies. Linguana sells one narrow part of going global, the translated website, to small sites at a flat price. The risk that remains is the one Pagedraw met: the builders or a larger competitor such as Weglot can offer the same feature. Linguana competes on price and on support for several builders, not on a feature that only it has.

## Can one person copy Linguana now?

**Verdict: Yes, with a small and flat result.**

A translation proxy needs no model training: it calls a cloud translation service and caches the result. The verified revenue shows that the niche pays, about US$2,700 a month in subscriptions, but it also shows that it did not grow in the last year, and most customers stay on the free plan.

1. Pick a group of site builders whose own translation feature is expensive or missing.
2. Serve translated pages through a proxy that reads the published HTML, so one system works for every builder.
3. Charge a flat subscription for hosting and sell machine translation separately by the word.
4. Write one landing page and one launch for each builder, and translate your own site with your product.

**What is still open.** Other website add-ons that site builders sell at high prices or not at all: accessibility fixes, cookie consent, search, and structured data for search engines.

## What could go wrong for Linguana?

- **Who built it is not published.** No downloaded source names a founder. The site, the footer and the TrustMRR profile name only CodeConda LLC, which says on its own site that it was founded in 2023 and that it builds some apps and acquires others. The first Product Hunt launch was in February 2023 and TrustMRR's founded date is 13 June 2024; no source says whether CodeConda built Linguana or bought it.
- **Listed for sale.** On 2 November 2026 TrustMRR's public endpoint showed the profile for sale at US$97,000, about 2.7 times one year of revenue at the last-30-day rate, or 3.0 times the MRR run rate (calculated on this page). A buyer would take over a product whose MRR has not grown in the last year. The cached markdown profile of the same day still said it was not listed.
- **Most verified revenue is old.** US$73,790 of the US$114,187 all-time revenue (calculated on this page) came before November 2025. In the 11 months that TrustMRR shows, monthly revenue moved between US$1,981 and US$5,239 with no clear rise, and one-time credit purchases make single months jump.
- **Competition and limits.** Weglot is the established competitor that Linguana names in its FAQ, and the site builders could add the same feature. Linguana's advantage is price and support for several builders. The FAQ also says that carts, accounts and checkout do not work on domains served through Linguana.
- **The owner's other apps.** Linguana is one of 12 apps that CodeConda LLC lists on its own site; the studio says it builds some apps and buys others. The other apps are separate products and are not judged on this page.
- **Machine translation quality.** The translation comes from Google's service. The feature page cites a UCLA Medical Center study in which Google translation conveyed the meaning of 82.5% of 400 instructions; this page did not read that study. Owners who need exact text must edit the translation by hand.
