Your EmDash site now speaks every language.

LinguaDash translates your content right inside the EmDash editor: one click for the draft, one to publish. You don't export anything or maintain spreadsheets, and the plugin is free.

Your to-do list for every language: what's missing, what's outdated and what still needs a review.

Less busywork. More languages.

One click instead of copy-paste

Next to every EmDash entry you see which languages are missing. One click creates the draft in the new language.

A first draft in seconds

DeepL, OpenAI or Cloudflare AI Gateway translates for you. Formatting, links and images stay intact, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

Visitors find their language

The included language switcher links every page to its translations. Search engines get hreflang for free.

Nothing goes stale unnoticed

Change the original and LinguaDash marks its translations as outdated, so you see right away which languages need updating.

Free, with no strings attached.

No lock-in

Every translation is a regular EmDash entry. Remove the plugin and all languages stay online.

Found in every language

Each language gets its own URLs and hreflang links, so Google can show every visitor the right version.

Your account, your costs

Use your own DeepL, OpenAI or Cloudflare account. We add no per-word markup, and your content never passes through us.

Free, without limits

The plugin is MIT licensed, with no subscription and no cap on words or languages.

Three steps to a multilingual site.

  1. In the EmDash admin, open “Registry”, search for LinguaDash and click “Install”.

  2. Pick your languages and a translation service, then click “Translate” next to the entry.

  3. Give the draft a quick review and publish it.

Or as an npm package:

Terminalnpm install emdash-plugin-linguadash
astro.config.mjsimport linguadash from "emdash-plugin-linguadash";

export default defineConfig({
  i18n: {
    defaultLocale: "de",
    locales: ["de", "en", "fr", "it", "es"],
  },
  integrations: [
    emdash({ plugins: [linguadash] }),
  ],
});

We work on EmDash itself.

LinguaDash is made by Kevin Kyburz of this:matters, an agency in Switzerland. Kevin is a maintainer of the EmDash project. More than 100 of his pull requests have been merged into EmDash, some of them for the language fallbacks and hreflang links LinguaDash relies on. When something changes there, we know early. He also writes The Weekly Dash, a weekly blog about EmDash.
