GTranslate vs Proxylang: En detaljeret sammenligning for 2026
GTranslate er et af de mest udbredte værktøjer til oversættelse af hjemmesider, primært fordi dets gratis browser-widget ikke koster noget og kan tilføjes på få minutter. Proxylang er et nyere værktøj bygget op omkring et andet sæt kompromiser: oversættelse i LLM-kvalitet med fuld sidekontekst, en livstidsordpulje i stedet for en månedlig nulstilling, og præ-renderet HTML til søgemaskine-crawlere.
Begge oversætter din side, uden at du skal skrive noget indhold om. De adskiller sig ved, hvordan oversættelsen når frem til siden, hvilken kvalitet du får, og hvordan du bliver faktureret.
Dette indlæg dækker, hvad hvert værktøj gør godt, hvor de hver især stopper, og hvilket der giver mest mening afhængigt af din situation. Hvis du også overvejer Weglot, har vi udgivet en separat Weglot-sammenligning med samme struktur.
Hvor de rent faktisk adskiller sig
De to værktøjer måler forbrug på helt forskellige parametre, hvilket er det første, man bør forstå, før man sammenligner priser.
GTranslate måler efter funktioner og sprog. Der er intet ordloft. Din plan bestemmer, hvor mange sprog du kan udgive, og hvilke funktioner du låser op for, og du kan oversætte så meget indhold, som du vil, inden for de sprog. For meget store sider — kataloger med hundreder af tusinder af ord — er den model virkelig attraktiv.
Proxylang måler efter ord × sprog. Du får en livstidsordpulje af oversættelige ord, der ikke nulstilles månedligt, talt én gang pr. sprog, plus en månedlig kvote af oversatte sidevisninger. Oversætter du én side til tre sprog, bruger du ord svarende til tre sprog fra puljen. Når en side er oversat, forbliver den i cachen og bliver ikke faktureret igen.
Ingen af modellerne er universelt bedre. GTranslate passer til sider med enorme mængder tekst og moderate kvalitetskrav. Proxylang passer til sider, hvor oversættelseskvalitet og synlighed i søgemaskiner betyder mere end rå volumen.
De virkelige forskelle udover måleenheden er tre: hvordan oversættelsen leveres, hvad oversættelsesmotoren gør, og en række funktioner, som det ene værktøj har, og det andet ikke har.
1. Arkitektur og installation
GTranslate tilbyder en gratis JavaScript-widget og et WordPress-plugin. Den gratis widget er udelukkende klientside-baseret: den oversætter tekst i den besøgendes browser ved hjælp af Google Translate. Betalte planer tilføjer serverside-oversættelse, hvilket kræver en DNS-ændring og producerer sider, som søgemaskiner kan crawle. URL-oversættelse findes på de højere niveauer. GTranslates egen dokumentation angiver SPA og JavaScript-renderet indhold som ikke-understøttet, så React-, Vue- og Next.js-sider ligger uden for det, værktøjet dækker.
Proxylang tilbyder tre installationsmetoder, og hvilke du kan bruge, afhænger af din plan:
- Script tag — one line of code, no DNS change, live in about 60 seconds. Available on every plan, including free. Works with Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Cafe24, and anything else.
- Hybrid mode — one line of code plus a DNS change, available on the Start plan ($39/mo) and above. Visitors get instant client-side translation while search-engine crawlers receive pre-rendered HTML. You get the speed of client-side delivery and the indexability of server-side rendering from the same setup.
- Full reverse proxy — no code on your site at all, just a DNS change, available on the Pro plan ($99/mo) and above. Every request, human or bot, is served translated from the edge.
Hybrid-mode er den del, som GTranslate ikke har noget modstykke til. Med GTranslate vælger du: den gratis klientside-widget, som er hurtig, men usynlig for søgemaskiner, eller et betalt serverside-setup. Proxylangs hybrid-mode kører begge veje samtidigt og beslutter per anmodning, om den besøgende er et menneske eller en crawler.
Alle tre Proxylang-modes fungerer med React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, SvelteKit, Angular, Astro, Hugo, Gatsby, Framer, IMWEB og Cafe24. Hybrid-mode er især bygget til single-page apps: den håndterer hydration og klientside-re-rendering uden at ødelægge appen.
2. Flersproget SEO
Det er her, de to værktøjer skiller sig mest ad, og det afgør, om dine oversatte sider skaber trafik, eller om de blot eksisterer for de besøgende, der allerede har fundet dig.
GTranslate’s free widget produces nothing indexable. Translation happens in the browser after the page loads. Google, Bing, Naver, and Yandex crawl your original-language HTML and never see the translated text. If you’re on GTranslate’s free plan and wondering why your Spanish pages don’t appear in Google, this is the reason.
GTranslate’s paid plans do produce indexable translations, along with hreflang tags and translated meta tags. URL translation is reserved for the higher tiers. This is a real capability and it starts at a low price point, so GTranslate is a legitimate option if indexable SEO on the cheapest possible plan is your only requirement.
Proxylang includes automatic hreflang tags on every plan. Indexable, pre-rendered translations arrive with hybrid mode on the Start plan ($39/mo), which is also where localized URLs (/es/, /fr/, /de/), translated meta tags and structured data, the per-language SEO dashboard, and sitemap monitoring unlock. On the free and Lite plans, translation runs client-side only, so crawlers see the original language.
Two things distinguish Proxylang’s approach once you’re on a plan that renders server-side. First, crawlers receive real pre-rendered HTML rather than JavaScript they have to execute, which is the cleaner path for multilingual indexing. Second, Proxylang submits pages to Naver and Yandex alongside Google and Bing, which matters if you’re targeting Korean or Russian markets.
Den ærlige opsummering: GTranslate når indexerbar SEO til en lavere pris. Proxylang når det med bedre rendering, bedre kvalitet og søgemaskiner, som GTranslate ikke indsender til.
3. Translation quality and editing
GTranslate uses neural machine translation, which is the same lineage as Google Translate output. It’s serviceable for straightforward content, but it translates in isolated segments without reading the surrounding page, so brand names, product terminology, and industry jargon frequently come out wrong. Glossary and terminology rules are limited compared with the rest of the category. A visual editor is available on the paid plans.
Proxylang uses LLM-grade AI translation on every plan, including the free one — it’s the core engine, not an add-on or a credit meter. It reads the full page for context before translating, which produces more natural output than segment-by-segment machine translation, and it’s tuned for Asian↔Western language pairs. Glossary and no-translate rules are included so brand names and technical terms stay intact. The visual/live editor is available on the Start plan and above.
Proxylang also reassembles a sentence that’s been split across multiple HTML tags — a phrase broken up by <strong>, <a>, and <span> wrappers — into one coherent translation. Tools that translate each tag’s text separately produce disjointed results on richly formatted pages. GTranslate doesn’t do this.
4. Features one tool has and the other doesn’t
Image translation. Proxylang translates the text inside images (banners, menus, product graphics) automatically: you tag the image and the AI handles the rest across all your languages. It’s sold as an inexpensive add-on credit pack rather than being metered against your word quota. GTranslate does not publicly document any image translation capability. For image-heavy sites — e-commerce, restaurants, anything with graphic promotions — that’s a meaningful difference in manual work.
Reverse Search Translation. Proxylang-only, also an add-on pack. When a visitor searches your site in their own language, Proxylang translates the query, runs it against your original-language content, and returns the results translated. No other tool in this category offers it.
New content. Both tools pick up fresh pages automatically, though GTranslate users have reported glitches with dynamically loaded content — related to the same SPA limitation noted above.
Right-to-left languages. Both handle Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian with automatic page mirroring.
Priser

| Free plan | $0 — 2K words, 1 language, same engine as paid | Widget only, not indexable by search engines |
| Lowest paid | $15/mo — Lite: 20K words, 5 languages | ~$10/mo (varies by source) |
| Indexable SEO from | $39/mo — Start: 100K words, all 77 languages, 3 indexed, hybrid mode | Lowest paid plan |
| Full proxy from | $99/mo — Pro: 500K words, all 77 languages, 10 indexed | Paid plans |
| Usage model | Lifetime word pool × languages, monthly page-view allowance | Features and languages, no word caps |

Proxylang’s full paid ladder runs Lite $15 · Start $39 · Pro $99 · Business $399 · Global $699, going up to 10M words with 50 languages indexed by search engines, with Enterprise quoted individually.
GTranslate is cheaper at the entry point and has no word ceiling, so a very large site can translate everything without watching a counter. Proxylang costs more per plan and caps words, but the words you buy are translated by a stronger engine, stay cached permanently, and are counted once rather than every month.

Who should choose which
GTranslate makes sense if:
- You need more than 77 languages.
- Your site has a very large volume of text and you don’t want a word ceiling.
- You want indexable translations at the lowest possible monthly price.
- Machine-translation quality is good enough for your content.
- Your site is server-rendered and you don’t need SPA support.
Proxylang makes sense if:
- You want translation quality that reads naturally, with full-page context rather than isolated segments.
- You’re on React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, or another modern JavaScript framework.
- You want visitors to get instant client-side translation and crawlers to get pre-rendered HTML, from one setup.
- You need automatic image translation or Reverse Search Translation.
- You’re targeting markets where Naver or Yandex indexing matters.
- You want brand names and terminology locked with glossary and no-translate rules.
The bottom line
GTranslate’s free widget is the easiest possible way to put a language switcher on a site, and its paid plans deliver indexable translations cheaply with no word limits. That combination explains why so many sites run it.
What the free widget doesn’t do is generate anything a search engine can read, and what the paid plans don’t do is cover single-page apps, reassemble sentences broken across HTML tags, translate the text inside images, or match LLM translation quality.
Proxylang costs more and counts words, but every plan runs the same LLM engine, hybrid mode gives visitors and crawlers each the delivery they need at once, and the extras — image translation, Reverse Search Translation, Naver and Yandex submission — have no GTranslate equivalent.
Both offer a free plan. The most reliable way to decide is to run both on your own site and compare the output quality, the setup experience, and what your real costs would be at the scale you’re planning for.
