What is website translation?

Website translation is the process of making the same website readable in more than one language. It covers far more than the body text: navigation, buttons, form labels, product names, alt text, meta titles and descriptions, and the text baked into images all have to change language together, or visitors end up on a half-translated page. Proxylang reads the rendered page, translates every one of those pieces with AI, and serves the result in 77+ languages.

How do I translate my website into another language?

There are three common routes. You can translate pages by hand and maintain a separate copy of the site per language, which is accurate but expensive to keep in sync. You can install a plugin, which ties you to one platform. Or you can put a translation layer in front of the site, which is what Proxylang does — you paste one line of code or point your domain at us, pick your languages, and the whole site is translated without touching your content management system.

Is automatic website translation bad for SEO?

It is when the translation only happens in the visitor’s browser, because search engines then index a single English page and nothing else. It is not when each language is served as its own fully rendered page at its own URL. On the Lite plan and up, Proxylang gives every language an indexable URL such as /es/ or /ja/, with matching hreflang tags and per-language sitemaps, so Google can crawl and rank each language separately.

How is this different from Google Translate on a website?

The browser translation your visitors can trigger themselves is client-side and invisible to search engines, so it brings you no additional traffic and you have no control over the wording. A website translation service renders each language on the server, lets you correct any phrase, keeps your brand terms in the original language, and gets those pages indexed. The first is a convenience for a visitor who already found you. The second is how you get found in the first place.

How long does it take to translate a website?

Setup takes about a minute. After you add your languages, pages are translated on first request and then cached at the edge, so the first visitor to a given page in a given language waits briefly and everyone after that is served instantly. You can also pre-translate your site ahead of launch so no visitor ever sees the first-request delay.

Does website translation work with dynamic content?

Yes. Anything that ends up as text on the page is translated, including content loaded from an API after the page renders, user reviews, comments, product listings, and posts published after you set Proxylang up. You do not need to re-run anything when you publish; new content is translated the first time it is requested.

How much does website translation cost?

Proxylang is free for your first 2,000 words, with no credit card. Paid plans are priced by the amount of content you translate and the traffic you serve, starting at $14.99 per month. Translated words are stored permanently rather than re-billed every month, so the cost of a page is paid once rather than every time somebody reads it.

Which languages can I translate my website into?

Over 77, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Hindi, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian. Right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are laid out correctly rather than simply having their text swapped.

Will website translation slow my site down?

No. Translations are cached across 300+ edge locations, so a translated page is served from the location nearest your visitor rather than being generated on demand. In script-tag mode the translation layer is a single small script; in proxy mode the translated HTML is already assembled before it reaches the browser.

What is a multilingual website solution?

A multilingual website solution is anything that lets one site serve several languages without you rebuilding it once per market. The three shapes on the market are a plugin tied to one platform, a set of separately maintained sites, and a translation layer that sits in front of the site you already have. Proxylang is the third: you keep one site, one content management system and one publishing routine, and every language is generated from it.

What is website translation SaaS?

Website translation SaaS means the translation runs as a subscription service rather than as software you host. You do not install a translation engine, manage translation memory files, or run a build step when content changes. You connect the site, pick your languages, and pay a monthly fee based on how much content you translate. Proxylang works this way, with a free tier of 2,000 words and no credit card.

What is the difference between website translation and website localization?

Translation changes the words. Localization changes everything a visitor in another market notices: the wording, the currency and date formats already present in your page, the reading direction for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the terms you never want translated, and the search results each market sees. Proxylang handles the translation automatically and gives you the controls for the rest — a glossary for brand and product terms, per-string overrides, correct right-to-left layout, and an indexable URL per language.

Can I edit or override an AI translation?

Yes. Every translated string can be corrected in the dashboard, and your correction is what visitors see from then on. You can also pin brand names, product names, and any other term you want left untouched, so the AI never translates them in any language.
