GTranslate Reviews 

Excellent support and a quick response with a solution. Thanks!

Customer support has been very timely and helpful. Really impressed to get this much support for a plugin.

Very happy with this service on our website. Easy to implement, and their in-context translation editor makes on-page editing a breeze. Ran into an issue translating some dynamic text, and Milena with Customer Service was incredibly fast and helpful in finding the solution.

We needed to map out custom translated URLs on a staging environment before migrating our client's website to production, which required temporarily moving our paid GTranslate license to the staging domain and setting up custom NGINX rules.

Dmitry from the support team was fantastic throughout the entire process. He quickly assisted with the license transfer verification, guided us through the exact NGINX rewrite configurations needed for our server, and provided clear technical insights regarding URL translation structures, sitemaps, canonical tags, and hreflang settings.

Thanks to his fast, step-by-step assistance, we were able to generate our full 301 redirect map smoothly and avoid any potential SEO issues for our live launch. Top-tier support, highly recommended!

Was inquiring about adding a second domain name to Gtranslate. They noticed an issue on my site before I did and sent me instructions on how to fix it quickly. These guys are on top of their support game. Thanks Milena and Ann, you're the real MVP's today.

I’ve had to contact GTranslate support several times, and they consistently deliver top-tier service. Most recently, they helped me via live chat when my translations stopped working properly across my subdomains. He identified the issue immediately and resolved it in no time.

The plugin itself is great, but the support team makes it truly unbeatable. Fast, polite, and exceptionally skilled.

I’ve used this firm for many years. Exceptional customer service and a great product. I highly recommend them.

GTranslate customer service was prompt, followed up quickly and clearly. No complaints!

I had a great experience with GTranslate. Their customer support is extremely fast, responsive, and helpful. They answered my questions right away and helped me sort everything out in no time. Highly recommended service!

Excellent tool and support! Recommend.

I used GTranslate on a fairly large WooCommerce site with **3,000+ products and roughly 700 additional pages, posts, categories, and tags**. We wanted to offer translations in 40+ languages.

**I would absolutely NOT recommend doing this on a large self-hosted WooCommerce site.**

The biggest problem is the absolutely insane amount of traffic GTranslate generates against your origin. Their translation bots repeatedly crawl the site, and once you start creating thousands of translated URLs, those URLs attract even more crawlers and bots.

At its worst, we were seeing **10,000+ requests every 15 minutes**.

You can try to control this with Cloudflare, rate limiting, Workers, firewall rules, etc., but then you run into another ridiculous problem: **you start interfering with legitimate visitors trying to use the translations.**

Someone visits `website DOT com/fr/` or `fr.website DOT com`, clicks around, and suddenly gets rate-limited because you're desperately trying to stop the translation system from hammering your server.

I even switched to the **subdomain configuration**, hoping it would improve caching or reduce the load on the main site. In my experience, it solved basically nothing.

### Translated URLs were another disaster

I strongly recommend **NOT enabling URL translation** on a large site.

Different languages use different characters, punctuation, quotation marks, encoding, etc., and we ended up with malformed translated URLs and a mountain of 404 errors.

Instead of improving SEO, you're now babysitting thousands upon thousands of automatically generated URLs and trying to figure out why Google and other crawlers are finding garbage URLs that don't exist.

If you're going to use this service, I would seriously consider leaving URL translation OFF.

### The 24-hour caching is ridiculous

One of my biggest problems is that translated content is apparently cached for only **24 hours**.

On a site with thousands of pages multiplied across 40+ languages, think about what that means.

The crawling doesn't eventually settle down.

It just keeps going.

**Hit. Hit. Hit. Crawl. Crawl. Crawl. Every single day.**

I originally started using GTranslate around two years ago. During the first six months, it was actually okay because the website was much smaller. Then it stopped working properly for roughly six months, apparently because of an issue involving Cloudflare. I basically ignored it until I eventually hired a developer to get everything working again.

By that point, our website had grown significantly.

That's when GTranslate went from being mildly useful to being an **absolute resource-hogging nightmare**.

And before somebody says, "You just need a better server" — **no.**

I literally upgraded the server to approximately **3× the previous capacity** trying to accommodate this.

We eventually had a server with roughly:

**48GB RAM
12 CPU cores**

I also upgraded to **Cloudflare Pro**, added **Cloudflare Workers**, configured firewall/rate-limiting rules, and **paid a developer to build custom throttling specifically to control the translation traffic**.

All of this because of a translation service.

And after all of that?

**Same nonsense.**

At some point you have to ask yourself why you're spending money on bigger servers, Cloudflare upgrades, Workers, developers, firewall rules, bot mitigation, and troubleshooting just to keep a translation plugin from beating the living hell out of your origin server.

Maybe this works wonderfully on Shopify, where the infrastructure and hosting situation is completely different. Maybe it works fine on a small WordPress site with 50 pages and two or three languages.

But for a **large, self-hosted WooCommerce store with thousands of products and dozens of languages, I wouldn't touch this again.**

My recommendation:

**Small website + 1–3 languages?** Probably fine.

**Large WooCommerce store + 40+ languages + translated URLs?** Stay far away.

After two years of dealing with it, upgrading hardware, upgrading Cloudflare, paying a developer, troubleshooting caching, dealing with broken translated URLs, and watching translation bots relentlessly hammer the site, I've finally had enough.

**For a large WooCommerce store, GTranslate became less of a translation service and more of a self-inflicted DDoS attack that I was paying for every month.**

Excellent technical team. Very fast to respond and resolve my issue. Highly recommend!!

I am satified with the support. Especially reaction times and engagement are superb!

It works flawlessly on the technical side, and the site mirroring in other languages is spot-on. Translation quality does depend a bit on the source language, but overall it’s impressive: European and Asian languages hit around 85–90% of human quality, and even less common languages hold up very well. I’m not sure which engine powers it—maybe Google Translate—but whatever it is, it does a great job. I’m really pleased with the entire setup.

Good if you go for seo

Whenever we have issues, your team responds quickly and is very helping in resolving our issues.

Excellent service; we had been using G Translate for several years, and it had increased our global readership and searchability for our travel and tourism news portal tremendously
Shortly after this was posted with a 5 star G-Translate cancelled our service, because our unlimited plan was more than unlimited. We lost tenthousands of google listings- extremely unprofessional and misleading.

We've been using this product for years on several websites. It works great and we were very happy with support too.

I have been using GTranslate for about 6 years now, and I am extremely satisfied with their service. The translation quality is top-notch, and the dashboard/user interface is very comfortable and easy to navigate.
One of the best features is the subdomain setup—search engines index the translated pages perfectly. On top of that, their customer support is exceptionally fast and helpful whenever needed. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable translation solution!
