Hi, Trying to get http://www.myselc.org/resources/printab ... ation.html translate and get to 302 error with a message from sorry.google.com. The message is : "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later." Though i just wanted to get the page translated. I'll appreciate your help.

It seems that Google have temporarily blocked your server IP address. It can happen if your website is hosted on a shared server with shared IP address and one of the websites hosted on the same server is sending many page rank or other requests. Or if you have cleared gtranslate/cache folder or decreased the cache time manually, which led to higher translation traffic. For now you have 2 options: 1. Ask your hosting company to change your IP address. 2. In .htaccess file add # before every line for # gtranslate config block and use the free translator for 10 days until Google will unblock your IP address.

That i did understood. The problem is my client does not agree with that. So i was wondering if that solution worked and how many days it took to lift the google block?
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?

Usually it takes about 10 days in case you don't do any request during that period. So you need to turn off the Pro version redirects from .htaccess file and use the free version.

Hi, I have the same problem with 302 error in www.kalliergo.gr. I followed your advice about disabling Pro mode and modifying .htaccess. Now is working again but in normal mode. Changing site's IP address, in most cases is not practically possible. Also, keeping thousands of cache files is also not practical. I have personally established a cron job to delete GTranslate's cache files every day. I did that, because at some point the number of cache files was so big that the system could not delete theme with a simple rm *. I believe that this situation should be mentioned before purchasing the Pro version. It is a situation that sooner or later a user of GTranslate Pro will face.

If you delete cache files every day, you will get a ban again for high translation traffic. You can read this post about enabling cache self clearing. gtranslate/too-much-bandwidth-with-database-cache-problem-t15.html#p41
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 7, 2010 3:26 am by bhelzhebuth
problem solved it took more then 10 days, but my ban is removed from google translate it is not enoutgh to not using redirect mode, also you're sitemap must not contain any links like www.youdomain.com/en/
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 7, 2010 9:25 am by Edvard
Good to hear that. If you disable it from .htaccess then sitemap can stay intact.

I have the same issue so i used the option 2. I also chnaged it to FREE version and in Parameters, i set it to work with On Fly (jQuery) Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong here. My questions are : What will happen to all indexed URLs of my site When can i again start using the PRO version? If i can never use the PRO version what's the point of buying the PRO version?
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 10, 2010 8:46 am by Edvard
Make sure to disable it from .htaccess You need to wait about 10 days. Indexed pages will stay as is until the search engine will decide to remove them. After re-enabling Pro it will start indexing again. If you can never use the Pro version there is no point of buying it.

So is this issue going to come back again in the future. is there anyway to avoid it or something else we can do to address this issue... What i meant to ask was if this problem going to come back over and over again we may not be able to use the PRO version after all...pls correct me if i am wrong?
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 20, 2010 11:47 am by [email protected]
Thanks for the information about how to get the free version to take over temporarly. Has Google made any changes to make this problem to occur now? Is there any idea to extend the caching time to 30 days?
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 20, 2010 1:21 pm by Edvard
Once the pages are cached it will not happen. When you have a big website and install Pro on it, that can happen, since all the pages are pulled from the translator server. After you have the cached files you don't need to worry. I'm working on a new version which will show the default language instead of the error when your site has exceeded the limits. If your site is not being updated frequently, you can increase the cache time.
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Dec 20, 2010 2:35 pm by [email protected]
Awesome :) Thanks. I will wait for the new version before i turn the PRO version On on my site
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?

I am having this same problem. I did what was suggested: added # to the lines in my htaccess file and turned off Pro version, so now I am running on free version. My question is do I need to also remove all of the subdomains in my site map as the previous poster suggested? If I do this further step, will Google stop indexing my site with all of the translated pages? I bought the pro version mainly so that my translated pages would be indexed. Will it work again once I turn Pro back on in 10 days? Do I need to remove the # from my ht access file when I turn Pro back on in 10 days? Would increasing the cache time help with preventing this in the future? Currently it is set for 900. What would be an appropriate setting? Also, while I am using the free version, what setting should I use: Google default, jquery, or redirect? I also noticed recently that the number of indexed pages on my site increased dramatically. (endless-satsang.com) It went from about 5-6000 to 18-19000 pages just in the last month or so, and I have been using Gtranslate for many months now. Any idea why it would have increased so suddenly? Could this have triggered the error messages?

We too use the paid pro version. And we also use German as a "second" site language via joomfish and it works perfect in PRO-mode with translation method REDIRECT. This is the current .htaccess: ######### gtranslate config RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/de RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/de RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(zh-CN)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(zh-CN)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] This way we have 2 "native customized translated" languages and the other languages via Google. Yet, after a few days we too experience the same issue and Google says "too many requests". To wait for 10 days we have switched to FREE version with ON-THE-FLY and have outcommented all lines in the .htaccess. Yet now our second language is no longer provided via joomfish but also via Google. QUESTION: How to setup FREE and ON-THE-FLY but to keep joomfish functionality for our second language? Which line in the .htaccess do we have to modify? I'm working on a new version which will show the default language instead of the error when your site has exceeded the limits. Please indicate when this new version may be available. Many thanks, Peter

hi edvard, using gtrans PRO EMERGENCY SITUATION - siteground is going to pull the plug off my site. please advise pls see below the notice sent by hosting provider With this notification we would like to inform you that our in-house Website Performance Monitoring System (WPMS) has signaled that your account samratbazaar.com.sg constantly uses a large amount of the server's CPU resources. Your account's CPU usage is 30784 script executions per day. The industry standard for CPU usage of a semi-dedicated account is 24 000 . SiteGround's servers use stable hardware, as well as custom developed load-balancing monitoring system. This is why we let our accounts utilize even more CPU resources than the industry standard allows. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful or how well optimized the server is, it is possible that one account consumes almost all server resources for a short period of time and thus causes very high load on the server. Even though the amount of CPU resources we allocate to the accounts we host is higher than the industry standard, your account's CPU usage exceeds even our increased limit. As a result, your website affects negatively the performance of the whole semi-dedicated server and all accounts hosted on it. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a shared server resource. Therefore, when there are too many requests to your site (including but not limited to many visitors and/or slow SQL queries), your account makes excessive requests to the semi-dedicated server. These excessive requests consume an abnormally high amount of CPU resources and endanger the overall performance of the semi-dedicated server. The Website Performance Monitoring System generates graphs illustrating your website's weekly CPU usage compared to the normal server usage. You can review the CPU usage graph for your account at the link below: http://statistics.sgvps.net/SS-2011-03-10_15.19.32.png

Hi, I have many other clients who use the Pro version on siteground hosting and they don't have this issue. You cannot be sure that this is because of GTranslate Pro. Try to disable it and see what happens with the CPU load graphics.

Please ask your hosting provider to provide it like they did before: http://statistics.sgvps.net/SS-2011-03-10_15.19.32.png hi edvard, already asked them a cpu usage graph, which i would get very soon. meanwhile siteground sent another message which i paste below ================================================================ I reviewed the case carefully. As part of my investigation I checked the server-side logs and noticed that the number of scripts executions is indeed higher than the allowed limit for our basic semi-dedicated solution. I also noticed that the increased resource consumption is caused by a large number of hits from google bots towards your website, which you can see from the Webalizer tool in your cPanel under the "Top 30 Sites" section. As a possible course of action you can block the IP address of these bots using the IP Deny Manager in your cPanel or at least decrease the bots' crawl rate significantly from your Google Webmaster Tools account, as explained in the following article: http://www.google.com/support/webmaster ... swer=48620 Alternatively you can upgrade your semi-dedicated plan to Advanced or Pro, which will have the necessary resources to handle such an extensive indexing of the site by the google bots.

Hi, As I can see after turning off GTranslate Pro it still uses higher than "Normal". So it is definitely not because of GTranslate Pro. I can help you to find the "bad" script and fix it, so you will not need to change your hosting plan. Let me know if you are interested and write me on email, so we can discuss how to proceed.

Hi Edvard, My site is now being blocked again by Google for the third time. I turned off the pro version as you explain in this thread, and will wait ten days to turn it back on. But I want to know if there is anything I can do to prevent this in the future. I have a fairly big site with about 1000 visitors a day. I did upload and install the zip file again from your main gtranslate page. Will that give me the latest version? Do I need to do anything else? Can I block gtranslate on parts of my website just to keep the overall traffic lower? Please let me know if there is anything I can do as I like using the pro version, but I will have to stop using it if I will continue to be blocked every month or so by Google. Thanks, Nirmala http://endless-satsang.com

Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Mar 17, 2011 11:00 am by [email protected]
hi edvard, the admin console is very fast, and so is the site, thanks a lot for your great effort, and detecting what went wrong. as per your advise removed all the excess baggage from scroller and plug ins. only one query still went unnoticed, is that when we are browsing thro any product page in say german and for some reason you wish to see the product page in say FRENCH, by clicking french flag, Gtranslate is not permitting. it makes me click the default home page button, to english first and then click the french flag. many of our site visitors do not know that and it really frustrates them please advise and thanks for going the EXTRA MILE to redo and config all my scripts, and bail me out of siteground pulling the plug on me

Hi again, Sorry to ask something so simple, but where do I get version 3? I downloaded the version 1.5.22 for Joomla from http://edo.webmaster.am/gtranslate (and re-installed Gtranslate on my site) a couple of days ago , but I did not see any reference to version 3. The version is listed as 1.5.22 on the module list on my site also. Does downloading it a few days ago mean I have version 3 or is there something more I need to do? Thanks, Nirmala

It was sent to your email from which you have made the purchase. All the updates for the Pro are emailed. If you didn't get it, let me know, I can resend.
Re: Google unusual traffic from gTranslate?
Mar 18, 2011 2:53 pm by Nirmalanow
Hi Edvard, I sent you a private message on here with my new email address. Please send me the update again as I did not receive it earlier. Once I install the update, can I turn Gtranslate back on immediately, or should I still wait 10 days for Google to stop blocking me? If this new version will prevent Google from seeing too much traffic, that will be great! You are a genius! ;) Thanks, Nirmala

Hi im new here and would like to share what i think may help against google banning, at first time dont use too many languages , i have a country (about) website and i used the languages for the most of my audience, also i edited the sitemap and i kept only the languages which i will use, this is because of search engines crawlers, google bot and yahoo slurp etc... the gtranslate will automatically translate to every language available by google i think and seach engines crawlers are always hungry and looking for anything new, so by removing other languages from sitemap i think they wont navigate to them (so i hope) , and only later when i will get what i choosed indexed only then i will publish and add new languages hope im right thanks
