GTranslate is a bot in the accessibility checkers category, operated by GTranslate Inc.
GTranslate translation proxy service
Accessibility checkers scan pages for WCAG issues on behalf of site owners and auditors. Allow the checkers you run and keep them out of analytics.
GTranslate identifies itself with this user agent string:
GTranslate-Translation-ProxyAnyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.
We have not confirmed whether GTranslate follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.

User-agent: GTranslate-Translation-Proxy group, GTranslate ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.GTranslate-Translation-Proxy from GTranslate's user agent; check GTranslate Inc's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
Allow GTranslate if it is a service you use, and keep its visits out of page views and ad requests either way.
Transfon Security for publishersGTranslate is not a person. Exclude it from campaign and conversion data so reports reflect real visitors.
Transfon Security for advertisersAllow GTranslate only if it works for your store, and keep it away from cart and checkout.
Transfon Security for e-commerceIf GTranslate is a service you use, allow it on the endpoints it needs and block it elsewhere.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows GTranslate by name in the Top Bots report, so you can see how often it visits and which pages it reads. Block or allow it with a User Agent rule, or slow it down with a rate limit decision rule.

We have not confirmed whether GTranslate follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: GTranslate-Translation-Proxy" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "GTranslate-Translation-Proxy" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so GTranslate may not follow it, and anyone can send GTranslate's user agent, so a fake GTranslate ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
