What is JavaScript Widget Translation?

Client-side translation overlays (like free GTranslate tiers) that swap text in the browser — invisible to search engines.

In more depth

Widgets produce zero SEO value: crawlers index the original language only. Server-rendered language URLs are the indexable approach.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding JavaScript Widget Translation helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
