Here's a preview of what's possible via Smartcat in ES, FR, RU. Seems to process the entire page fairly quickly. Although does look on the pricey end 🙄

That's neat. Their pricing page hurts me though - wtf is a "smartword"?
I think we'll end up needing something that I host and pay a flat licensing fee or something.

Haha got to appreciate the marketing spiel.
Did spot a great looking free open source tool in Libretranslate which looks promising & cheap to host. I'll keep a lookout if I find anything else that can be hosted.
There actually seem to be no shortage of expensive translation APIs, including Weglot, Transifex, Translite, Dilingual, Smartcat and Crowdin. I wonder if they're all using the same tech under the hood. Crowdin seem to not charge for open-source requests although would be an extra online dependency.
