Hi, You may try to check your access logs and block unnecessary bots. You may disable some languages. Thanks!

How to disable some language?

Hi, You can disable some unnecessary languages by redirecting to the homepage . Here is an example of .htaccess rule. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(af|ar|az)/(.*)$ /$2 [R=301,L]

My webhosting told me that /gtranslate/translate.php is the process that is running all the time which is something not right. There might be some exploit that used by third party. It is generating too large cache folder and causing my dedicated server now not stable due to large file system on the cache folder.

Hi, You may try to check your access logs and block unnecessary bots. The cache size depends of how much content you have .

My webhosting has check it and told me that there is no bad bots attack my server. ONLY /gtranslate/translate.php is running all the time.

Hi, If you are using 58 languages please disable some unnecessary languages. Also you can consider using GTranslate Enterprise version.

My issue are: 1. gtranslate/translate.php (using general version) use a lot of cpu 2. server not stable due to large file system on the cache folder. Please advise whether my planning are right 1. Wrap all countdown timer/visitor counter module with class="notranslate" 2. Disable some of the not necessary languages with htaccess 3. Remove all file and folder in /gtranslate/cache/***

Hi, If you have a problem with the server you can consider using GTranslate Enterprise version. 1. Yes , wrap dynamic content with class="notranslate" 2. Yes 3. If you have disk space problem also you can delete the cache files only for unnecessary languages. If you delete the cache files for all languages it will start translating again.

Thank you Yana. I'm appreciate your help.

You are welcome!
