Proxylang

Proxylang translates website content and creates pages intended to support search visibility in other languages. Site changes are translated automatically, brand names can remain as written, and users can revise wording in the Live Editor. From the Lite plan up, each language can have an indexable URL, hreflang tags, and its own sitemap. The default installation method is a script tag, which the maker says works on every platform; WordPress and proxy options are also available. Setup guides cover Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, IMWEB, and Cafe24. Live Chat translates both sides of visitor conversations as they are typed and supports unlimited agents and domains. Users can also translate text in selected images through the editor or by tagging images in site code. Word allowances count lifetime totals of unique content, while page-view limits reset each month. The free Test Drive plan costs nothing and includes 2,000 words, one language, and 1,500 page views per month. Paid plans offer a 14-day trial. Lite costs $15 a month; separate Chat plans start at $7 a month.

Proxylang combines website translation with editing, language-specific search settings, and translated live chat. Check the lifetime word allowance and monthly page-view limit when choosing a plan.

Proxylang suits website owners who want translated site content and editable wording across languages. Its Live Chat tools may suit teams that want visitor conversations translated as they happen.

Overview

Proxylang automatically translates website changes and offers a Live Editor for revising the result. It is best suited to site owners who want to manage multilingual pages themselves; the lifetime word allowances make it important to plan for how much unique content a site will translate.

Key features

Translation with editorial control

Machine translation covers changing website content, while users can edit wording and keep brand names as written. That combination gives teams a way to review copy without replacing the automated workflow. It is less suitable for organizations that require human translation. Users can also translate text in selected images through the Live Editor or by tagging images in site code.

Search visibility by language

From Lite upward, each language can have its own indexable URL, hreflang tags, and sitemap. These controls make the paid plans more relevant to sites that want translated pages discoverable in search. Lite includes only one Google-indexed language, while higher plans raise that allowance.

Installation and live chat

The default installation uses a script tag, which the maker says works across platforms; WordPress plugin and proxy modes are also available. Setup guides cover Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, IMWEB, and Cafe24. Live Chat translates both sides of a visitor conversation as they type and allows unlimited agents and domains. Its message quota is separate from website translation allowances.

Privacy and support

The privacy policy says original site content is processed in real time and not permanently stored, while cached translations are retained. The maker says personally identifiable information is redacted before text is sent to translation providers and submitted text is not used to train AI models. Listed protections include TLS 1.3 in transit, encryption at rest, password hashing, monitoring, access controls, and Cloudflare DDoS protection. Pro and Business include priority support.

Pricing

Test Drive is free and includes 2K words, one language, 1.5K page views per month, and no credit card requirement. It is a low-commitment way to try the workflow, but its small word and traffic allowances suit only a limited site.

Lite costs $15 a month, billed monthly, for 20,000 words, five languages, one Google-indexed language, 15K monthly page views, and one website. It is the entry point for search-indexable language pages, but the single-site and single-indexed-language limits constrain broader deployments. Start costs $39 a month, billed monthly, and expands to 100,000 words, 77 languages, three indexed languages, 50K page views, unlimited websites, and 2,000 translated chat messages per month.

Pro costs $99 a month, billed monthly, and includes 500,000 words, 77 languages, 10 indexed languages, 150K page views, unlimited websites, full proxy mode, 10,000 translated chat messages per month, and priority support. Business costs $399 a month, billed monthly, with 2,500,000 words, 25 indexed languages, 750K page views, unlimited websites, 50,000 translated chat messages per month, and priority support. These higher tiers fit larger sites that need more translation capacity, traffic headroom, or indexed languages.

Chat is $7 a month for 2,000 translated messages, Chat Plus is $19 a month for 10,000, and Chat Scale is $39 a month for 50,000; all include unlimited domains and agents. The paid plans offer a 14-day free trial, and the Live Chat page says its trial requires no card. Word allowances are lifetime totals for unique content, unlike monthly page-view allowances, which reset each month. That lifetime cap is the central constraint to consider when estimating long-term use.

Platforms

Proxylang supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and extension platforms. Its website integration guides cover Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, IMWEB, and Cafe24.

Who it's for

Proxylang is a sensible fit for site owners who want automated translation, an editing layer, and language-specific search controls in one workflow. Teams with high volumes of changing unique content should compare lifetime word caps carefully, and organizations needing human translation should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The Live Editor and brand-name preservation let teams refine machine-translated copy rather than accept it unchanged.
• Pro: Paid tiers add indexable URLs, hreflang tags, and per-language sitemaps for search-focused localization.
• Pro: Live Chat supports unlimited agents and domains, with plan-based message quotas.
• Con: Unique translated words count against a lifetime allowance, so ongoing content growth can consume capacity beyond a single billing month.
• Con: Lite provides only one indexed language and one website; broader coverage requires a higher plan.
• Con: Translation is machine-based, which may not meet teams' needs for human translation.

Verdict

Choose Proxylang if you want editable machine-translated pages, language-specific search controls, and optional translated chat. Its strongest case is the combination of those tools with flexible installation options; its main caution is that unique-word capacity is consumed over the plan's lifetime. If your content volume is hard to forecast or you need human translation, compare alternatives before committing.
