Our bot
GTranslate operates a translation proxy service that helps website owners serve translated versions of their own websites to visitors in different languages.
Our bot identifies itself with the following User-Agent: GTranslate-Translation-Proxy
How it works
GTranslate-Translation-Proxy accesses the original pages of GTranslate customer websites only when a visitor requests a translated version of a page.
When requesting the original customer website, GTranslate-Translation-Proxy always includes the X-GT-Real-User-Agent header. This header contains the User-Agent of the real visitor who requested the translated page.
It also includes the X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-For, and X-GT-ClientIP headers. These headers indicate the real visitor IP address that requested the translated page.
It does not crawl the web, index websites, train AI models, or access non-customer websites for discovery purposes. Requests are made only as part of providing the website translation proxy service for GTranslate customers.
IP addresses
Requests from GTranslate-Translation-Proxy may come from the IP addresses published here: https://gtranslate.net/ips.txt
These IP addresses can also be verified with a reverse DNS lookup. Valid GTranslate proxy IPs resolve back to hostnames under gtranslate.net, such as: tdn-x-x-x-x.gtranslate.net
Website owners and security providers may use this list to identify traffic from the GTranslate translation proxy.
Web Bot Auth
GTranslate-Translation-Proxy can use Web Bot Auth to cryptographically identify signed requests. Web Bot Auth is disabled by default and must be enabled for the customer account before signed requests are sent.
When enabled, Web Bot Auth helps website owners, hosting providers, and security services verify that requests are coming from GTranslate.
