Script Tag Implementation
How the Script Works
When you add the Proxylang script tag, the system analyzes your site's structure and content. It then creates language-specific pages, such as example.com/ja-jp/, which are fully indexable by search engines. This setup is one script tag, meaning the owner or their agent can add it and deploy the site once. It works with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, and custom-built sites. The site can start in any source language, ensuring flexibility for global expansion. For additional details, review the Just a moment.
Agent-Ready Deployment
One of the key advantages of the script tag approach is its simplicity for developers and agencies. There is no signup or credit card required for initial setup, making it fully agent-ready. This allows digital agencies to integrate multilingual capabilities into client sites quickly. The script handles the heavy lifting of translation and localization, while the site owner retains control over the final output through a live editor.

The Limits of Browser Translation
Temporary and Non-Indexable
Because browser translation happens on the user's device, it is temporary and non-indexable. Search engines like Google, Bing, and Naver cannot see the translated content because it does not exist in the site's source code. This means your site will not appear in local search results for foreign keywords. For a business looking to grow overseas, this is a critical gap. Browser translation is a user convenience, not a marketing strategy. For additional details, review the .
Lack of SEO Control
SEO, Indexing, and AI Visibility
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to a website through organic search engine results. In the context of multilingual sites, SEO requires that each language version is treated as a distinct, indexable entity. Proxylang's paid plans add language pages that Google, Bing, Naver, and AI assistants can index. This ensures your site shows up in searches abroad, driving organic traffic from new markets. For additional details, review the Customer Experience.
Indexable Language Pages
Unlike browser translation, Proxylang creates real, crawlable URLs for each language. For example, a Japanese version of your site might live at example.com/ja-jp/. These pages are fully optimized for local search engines. This is vital for markets like Japan, where Naver and other local engines dominate. By creating these pages, you ensure that your content is discoverable by users searching in their native language. For additional details, review the Frequently Asked Questions.
AI Assistant Integration
As AI assistants become more prevalent, visibility in these tools is becoming a new form of SEO. Proxylang ensures that your translated content is structured in a way that AI systems can understand and cite. This means your business can appear in AI-generated answers and recommendations, providing a competitive edge over sites that rely solely on browser translation. The structured data and clean HTML generated by the script tag approach are optimized for both traditional search engines and modern AI crawlers.
LiveChat and Two-Way Communication
Real-Time Bidirectional Translation
Continuous Improvement
Translations keep getting better after launch. Proxylang keeps checking translations on live sites and replaces weak sentences with better ones. New and changed text is translated automatically, and owners can edit any line in a live editor. These improvements cost nothing extra on paid plans. This continuous optimization ensures that your site's content remains high-quality and relevant, further enhancing your SEO and user experience.
