What is the chinese version of the common idiom:

Action speaks louder than words

Google translate gives this:

Is this correct? And what other alternatives are there?

You could try these two:

不务空名
not seek empty name

务:追求。
matter: seek
切实地工作,不追求虚名。
work conscientiously, don't seek a false reputation.

菲言厚行
few words much action

菲: 微薄,引申为少;
poor: scanty, meagre extended meaning few;
厚:指多。少说多做
thick: refers to many. little speak much action
