GTranslate vs Proxylang: En detaljert sammenligning for 2026
GTranslate er et av de mest utbredte verktøyene for oversettelse av nettsteder, i stor grad fordi den gratis nettleser-widgeten ikke koster noe og tar bare noen minutter å legge til. Proxylang er et nyere verktøy bygget rundt et annet sett med avveininger: oversettelse i LLM-klassen med full kontekst for hele siden, en livslang ordpool i stedet for månedlig nullstilling, og forhåndsrendret HTML for søkemotorkryptere.
Begge oversetter nettstedet ditt uten at du trenger å skrive om innholdet. De skiller seg fra hverandre i hvordan oversettelsen når siden, hvilken kvalitet du får, og hvordan du faktureres.
Dette innlegget dekker hva hvert verktøy gjør bra, hvor hver av dem stopper, og hvilket som gir mest mening avhengig av din situasjon. Hvis du også vurderer Weglot, har vi publisert en egen Weglot-sammenligning med samme struktur.
Hvor de faktisk skiller seg fra hverandre
De to verktøyene måler bruk på helt forskjellige måter, noe som er det første man bør forstå før man sammenligner priser.
GTranslate måler etter funksjoner og språk. Det er ingen øvre grense for antall ord. Planen din bestemmer hvor mange språk du kan publisere og hvilke funksjoner du låser opp, og du kan oversette så mye innhold du vil innenfor disse språkene. For svært store nettsteder — kataloger med hundretusenvis av ord — er denne modellen genuint attraktiv.
Proxylang måler etter antall ord × språk. Du får en livslang pool av oversettbare ord som ikke nullstilles hver måned, talt én gang per språk, pluss en månedlig kvote for oversatte sidevisninger. Oversetter du én side til tre språk, bruker du ord tilsvarende tre språk fra poolen. Når en side er oversatt, forblir den bufret og blir ikke fakturert på nytt.
Ingen av modellene er universelt bedre. GTranslate passer for nettsteder med enorme mengder tekst og moderate kvalitetskrav. Proxylang passer for nettsteder der oversettelseskvalitet og synlighet i søkemotorer betyr mer enn rent volum.
De virkelige forskjellene utover måling er tre: hvordan oversettelsen leveres, hva oversettelsesmotoren gjør, og en håndfull funksjoner som det ene verktøyet har, men ikke det andre.
1. Arkitektur og installasjon
GTranslate tilbyr en gratis JavaScript-widget og en WordPress-plugin. Den gratis widgeten er utelukkende klientside: den oversetter tekst i besøkendes nettleser ved hjelp av Google Translate. Betalte planer legger til serverside-oversettelse, noe som krever en DNS-endring og produserer sider som søkemotorer kan krype. URL-oversettelse ligger i de høyere prisklassene. GTranslates egen dokumentasjon oppgir at SPA og JavaScript-rendret innhold ikke støttes, så React-, Vue- og Next.js-sider faller utenfor det verktøyet dekker.
Proxylang tilbyr tre installasjonsmetoder, og hvilke du kan bruke avhenger av planen din:
- 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.
Hybridmodus er den delen GTranslate ikke har noe tilsvarende for. Med GTranslate velger du mellom: den gratis klientside-widgeten, som er rask men usynlig for søkemotorer, eller et betalt serverside-oppsett. Proxylangs hybridmodus kjører begge stier samtidig, og avgjør per forespørsel om besøkende er et menneske eller en kryper.
Alle de tre Proxylang-modusene fungerer med React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, SvelteKit, Angular, Astro, Hugo, Gatsby, Framer, IMWEB og Cafe24. Hybridmodus ble spesielt bygget for single-page apps: den håndterer hydrering og klientside-rendring uten å ødelegge appen.
2. Flerspråklig SEO
Det er her de to verktøyene skiller seg mest, og det avgjør om de oversatte sidene dine henter trafikk eller bare eksisterer for besøkende som allerede har funnet deg.
GTranslates gratis widget produserer ingenting som kan indekseres. Oversettelsen skjer i nettleseren etter at siden er lastet. Google, Bing, Naver og Yandex kryper den originale HTML-koden din og ser aldri den oversatte teksten. Hvis du bruker GTranslates gratisplan og lurer på hvorfor de spanske sidene dine ikke dukker opp i Google, så er dette årsaken.
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.
The honest summary: GTranslate reaches indexable SEO at a lower price. Proxylang reaches it with better rendering, better quality, and search engines GTranslate doesn’t submit to.
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

| 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 |

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.
Konklusjonen
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.
