An AI is no longer just suggesting better translations. It can open a website, inspect the translated page, find mistakes, use an existing editing interface, correct them, and continue working.

That sentence would have sounded futuristic not very long ago.

Now we can watch it happen.

In the video, GPT-6 Astra reviews the Russian version of the GTranslate website and improves translations using GTranslate's existing In-Context Editor.

And that is the part we find remarkable.

Astra is not simply being given a Russian sentence in a chat box and asked, “Can you translate this better?” It is using the browser. It is looking at the real translated website. It is seeing the text in the context where visitors actually see it. It is identifying language that could be improved, opening the editor, making the correction, saving it, and moving on.

This is not just AI generating text anymore. This is AI doing work.

If your website still uses the Google Translate Website Translator Widget, there is an important change coming.

Google announced that the Website Translator Widget will no longer be supported starting October 1, 2026.

For years, the widget offered website owners one of the easiest ways to make their content available in multiple languages: add a small piece of JavaScript, place a language selector on the site, and let visitors choose their language.

Now that option is going away.

Google points website owners who need ongoing automated translation to its Cloud Translation API. That gives developers a flexible way to build translation into their own applications, but website owners who simply want a language selector may prefer a ready-to-use solution.

GTranslate provides a Website Translator Widget that works in much the same way: choose your languages, customize the selector, add a small JavaScript snippet to your website, and you are ready to go.

The painful truth has already been acknowledged.

Monolingual websites don’t allow you to speak to your foreign buyers in their native language.

They don’t allow you to compete for search engine ranking in multiple languages.

You are fed up with the limitations of your monolingual website and want to make it multilingual.

But where to start? How to identify your top markets and consequently languages you should target.

Looking for a reliable tool to find out how many words you have on your website, or maybe on a specific page only?

Let's first understand what you need it for.

While you might need a word counter for a variety of reasons, one of the most common scenarios when you will need it is when translating your website.

Why? It's simple: just like salespeople are paid based on the deals they close, the translators are paid based on the number of words or pages they translate.

There are several online tools you can use to find the number of words your website has, and some of them are from translation agencies and even automatic translation tools.
