Expanding your app or website to new global markets is exciting, but localization is a bottleneck. Manually copy-pasting text into translation tools is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale for dynamic updates.
- Slow Turnaround: Human translation takes days or weeks.
- Context Loss: Generic translation tools often miss the nuance of your specific industry or brand voice.
- Maintenance Nightmare: Keeping multilingual datasets in sync with a changing website is a full-time job.
There is a smarter way. In this guide, we'll show you how to use the AI Website Content Localizer & Scraper on Apify. This tool combines the power of Crawlee (for robust scraping) and Lingo.dev (for context-aware AI translation) to automate the entire process.
The AI Website Content Localizer & Scraper is a production-grade Apify Actor that automates:
- Scraping: It navigates your website (or any URL) to extract text, titles, and metadata.
- Translating: It uses Lingo.dev's AI engine to instantly localize content into 83+ languages.
- Structuring: It delivers clean, structured JSON data ready for your CMS, RAG pipeline, or analysis.
Best of all, it operates on a Pay-Per-Event model, meaning you only pay for the specific pages you process—no expensive monthly subscriptions.
You don't need to be a developer to start building multilingual datasets.

# 4. Fetch results
dataset_items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items()

for item in dataset_items:
print(f"Original: {item.get('title')}")
translations = item.get('localized_content', {})
for lang, text in translations.items():
print(f"[{lang.upper()}]: {text[:50]}...")- Context-Aware: Unlike simple dictionary lookups, Lingo.dev understands the context of your web page, ensuring higher quality translations for headers, buttons, and marketing copy.
- Scalable: Scrape and localize hundreds of pages in parallel using Apify's cloud infrastructure.
- Flexible: Use it for one-off projects or integrate it into a CI/CD pipeline for continuous localization.
