Overview

GTranslate turns HTML websites into versions for international visitors, supporting 104 languages through web and API access. It is aimed particularly at small and mid-size companies that need broad coverage without metered words or pageviews. The main decision is whether you need durable, indexable translated URLs: those capabilities sit above the entry plans.

The free edition is a JavaScript language selector rather than a hosted localization system. It leaves the original URL in place and stores no translations, while paid editions add AI output, editing and search-engine indexing. GTranslate has operated since 2008 from Coral Springs, Florida, and says it powers more than 1,000,000 websites.

Key features

Paid subscriptions combine AI translation with an inline editor, allowing a team to correct machine output in context. Unlimited words and pageviews on every listed plan remove a common source of budget uncertainty. Search-engine indexing begins with the $12 Custom plan, but URL translation is limited to Business and Enterprise, and language hosting is exclusive to Enterprise. That tiering makes the cheaper plans suitable for translated access and indexed content, but not for every multilingual SEO or hosting arrangement.

Integrations cover WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, Drupal and other HTML websites. Shopify stores can use only a subdomain URL structure. GTranslate says its proxy contacts a customer site when a visitor requests a translated page; it does not crawl the web, index websites or train AI models. Its privacy policy says it may process account, device, location, internet activity, translation content, communications, log and analytics data.

Websites can use any programming language and web server without general server requirements. The documented subdirectory URL setup does require PHP and Apache, so that particular deployment path may not fit every stack. Live chat is listed from 2am to 6pm Monday through Friday, UTC−4.

Pricing

Free — free. You get a language-selector widget, all languages, machine translation, and unlimited words and pageviews. Commercial use, search indexing, translation editing, URL translation and language hosting are excluded. Choose it for a noncommercial translated view when persistent pages are unnecessary.

Custom — $12.00 USD per month. This is the only bilingual plan, with AI translation, unlimited usage, commercial use, indexing and editable translations. It still omits URL translation and language hosting, making it a practical low-cost choice for one source language and indexed content that can remain on the existing URL structure.

Startup — $25.00 USD per month. It removes the bilingual restriction while retaining AI translation, editing, indexing, commercial use and unlimited words and pageviews. URL translation and hosting remain unavailable, so it fits broader language coverage without distinct translated URLs.

Business — $35.00 USD per month. All languages and the same unlimited, editable, indexable setup are joined by URL translation. There is still no language hosting, which matters if you want GTranslate to serve translated versions from its cloud network.

Enterprise — $50.00 USD per month. It adds language hosting to the Business feature set. This is the clearest fit when translated pages need language-specific URLs hosted on GTranslate’s cloud network.

A 15-day trial is for new customers, can be canceled without charge during the trial, and converts to the selected plan if not canceled before it ends.

Platforms

GTranslate is offered for web and API use, with modules or integrations for Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, Shopify and other HTML sites. The platform breadth helps organizations add translation within an existing stack, but Shopify’s subdomain-only URL structure and the PHP/Apache requirement for documented subdirectory setup should be checked before committing.

Who it's for

It suits small and mid-size businesses that want many languages and predictable usage without word or pageview quotas. Free is appropriate for a basic, noncommercial language switcher. Custom and Startup suit businesses that need editable, indexable translations but can keep the original URL structure. Business is for multilingual SEO with translated URLs; Enterprise is for teams that also want cloud-hosted translated sites.

Pros and cons

Pros: 104 languages and unlimited words and pageviews make expansion predictable.
Pros: Paid inline editing gives teams control over AI translations without abandoning automation.
Pros: The $35 Business tier adds URL translation, while Enterprise adds hosted translated pages.
Cons: The free plan stores no translations and provides neither indexing nor editable or translated URLs.
Cons: Custom and Startup lack URL translation, and Business lacks language hosting.
Cons: Shopify supports only subdomain URLs, and one documented URL method requires PHP and Apache.

Alternatives

For a broader translation workflow across Android, iOS, desktop and web, consider Crowdin, which has a free plan and trial. Proxylang is a better fit when a small, explicitly capped test is enough: its free Test Drive covers 2,000 words, one language and 1,500 page views per month, while Chat costs $7 per month.

Choose Clonable if cloning a limited number of pages is the priority; its free plan allows one clone and up to 20 translated pages. TextUnited suits teams that need user and document quotas, with a free 15,000-word monthly plan for one user and a $150 monthly team plan.

Webflow CMS is an alternative when multilingual work is part of a broader site-building project. ConveyThis is more constrained but cheaper to trial, with a free one-language, 5,000-word allowance and a $12 monthly Starter plan. WordPress owners may prefer Polylang, a free plugin with a separate WooCommerce plan from €99 per year. For larger paid localization programs, Transifex starts at $160 per month.

Verdict

Choose GTranslate when your business needs 104 languages, unlimited traffic and words, and a clear upgrade path from a basic selector to edited, indexed and hosted translated pages. Look elsewhere if your Shopify URL needs exceed subdomains, your deployment cannot use the documented PHP/Apache route, or you need URL translation and hosting without moving to the top tiers.
