# GTranslate

Some users may experience the following issue when using YayCurrency together with GTranslate (paid/proxy version):

* Currency automatically reverts to the default (e.g., EUR)
* Currency changes randomly when switching languages
* Selected currency does not persist across translated pages

This behavior is **not caused by YayCurrency itself**, but by server-side caching from translation proxies that do not respect YayCurrency’s cookie.

The good news:\
✅ **YayCurrency is fully compatible with GTranslate.** It just requires a simple cache configuration.

### 💡 Why It Worked With the Free Version

The free version of GTranslate:

* Uses client-side JavaScript translation.
* Does NOT proxy your website through their servers.
* Does NOT cache HTML on their infrastructure.

The paid version:

* Uses **server-side proxy translation**.
* Caches translated pages on their servers.
* Must be configured to vary cache by important cookies.

That’s why upgrading to GTranslate (paid version) introduced the issue.

### Why This Happens

YayCurrency stores the selected currency in a cookie:

```
yay_currency_widget
```

This cookie ensures that:

* The selected currency persists across pages
* The correct currency loads across subdirectories and translated URLs

However, when using the **proxy version of GTranslate**, their server-side cache may not respect or vary by this cookie.

As a result:

* Cached pages may be served without considering the user's selected currency.
* The currency may revert to the default or behave inconsistently.

### The Solution

The fix is straightforward:

👉 **Ask GTranslate support to exclude the `yay_currency_widget` cookie from their proxy cache.**

Once this cookie is excluded:

* GTranslate will not serve cached pages that ignore the selected currency.
* The currency switch will remain stable across all translated pages.
* Everything will work perfectly.

### How to Fix It (Step-by-Step)

1. Contact **GTranslate Support**
2. Inform them that:
   * You are using YayCurrency.
   * YayCurrency stores currency in the `yay_currency_widget` cookie.
   * Their proxy cache must exclude this cookie.
3. After GTranslate configures this on their servers, the issue will be resolved.
