What is GTranslate?
GTranslate is a translation proxy that sits in front of an existing website, the same basic model Weglot uses. You install a plugin (WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace) or paste a script tag, pick your source and target languages, and it machine-translates your pages and serves them at language-specific URLs so search engines can index each language separately.
Unlike Weglot's per-word metering, GTranslate's paid tiers are flat monthly fees with unlimited words and pageviews on every plan. What changes between tiers is how many languages you get, whether translated pages are indexed and editable, and whether URLs and hosting are translated too. The free version is a client-side JavaScript widget rather than a full proxy: it swaps text in the visitor's browser but doesn't create indexable translated pages.
GTranslate has run since 2008 and says it powers more than 1,000,000 websites, mostly small and mid-size sites on a tight translation budget rather than large enterprise deployments.
Who it's for
- ✓ Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress sites that want a Weglot-style proxy without per-word billing
- ✓ Budget-conscious small sites that want unlimited words and pageviews on every paid tier
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Webflow or Wix sites, since GTranslate doesn't ship an official plugin for either while Weglot supports both
- ✗ Teams that want a translation memory, glossary, or human-translator marketplace built into the same dashboard
Pros
- + Flat monthly pricing with unlimited words and pageviews on every paid tier, instead of Weglot's per-word meter
- + Free widget tier covers all 100+ languages with no word cap, useful for a quick language toggle before paying for indexing
- + Official plugins for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, and Squarespace, plus a script tag for any custom HTML site
- + 30-day refund window on paid plans
Cons
- – No official Webflow or Wix plugin, unlike Weglot which lists both as supported platforms
- – The free plan explicitly excludes search engine indexing, so translated pages don't get their own indexable URLs until you pay
- – A third-party review reports GTranslate blocking crawler access to parts of its hosted language URLs via robots.txt, which can keep translated pages from being indexed the way a buyer expects
- – The company's public blog hasn't posted a dated product update since 2020, making recent feature velocity hard to verify from primary sources
GTranslate pricing
What you pay for
You pay a flat monthly fee gated by feature tier, not by word count. The free widget is unmetered but doesn't create indexable translated pages or let you edit machine translations; paid tiers add search engine indexing, manual editing, translated URLs, and dedicated language hosting as you move up.
At about $12/month to start, it sits mid-pack on price in Website & Software Localization.
| Plan | Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Language selector widget · All languages, unlimited words and pageviews · No search engine indexing, no translation editing |
| Custom | $12/mo | Bilingual (2 languages) or all-languages option · AI translation, unlimited words and pageviews · Search engine indexing and inline translation editing |
| Startup | $25/mo | All languages · Same AI translation, indexing, and editing as Custom |
| Business | $35/mo | Everything in Startup · Translated URLs (slugs) for indexed pages |
| Enterprise | $50/mo | Everything in Business · Dedicated language hosting (own subdomain or ccTLD) |
Prices are in USD, billed monthly; annual billing is advertised as 2 months free (about 10 months' cost for a year). Every paid tier includes unlimited words and pageviews, so cost doesn't scale with content volume the way Weglot's does. What changes between tiers is language coverage, search engine indexing, manual editing, translated URLs, and dedicated language hosting. A 15-day trial and a 30-day refund window apply to paid plans.

GTranslate FAQ
Is GTranslate free?+
Its free widget covers all languages with no word limit, but it's client-side only. Pages aren't hosted at translated URLs and won't get indexed by search engines the way a paid plan's proxy pages do.
Does GTranslate charge by word like Weglot?+
No. Every paid tier includes unlimited words and pageviews. Price instead gates language count, search engine indexing, manual editing, translated URLs, and dedicated language hosting.
Can I use GTranslate on Webflow or Wix?+
GTranslate doesn't publish an official plugin for either platform, only for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, and Squarespace, plus a generic script tag for custom HTML sites.
