Thanks Alex! I’ll get this on other sites.

For some reason this widget doesn’t work on my blog. Could it be that it’s obsolete? I’ve tried various translation plug-ins and they either don’t work or they increase the load time of my blog

Wow! this is great, any native language can be translated. Google is the best.

David,

Good point but some of us can hardly find enough time to write in one locale

More than translation, it seems that localization is the key issue. Language is one thing but making the content truly appear local to the user, in our global village is the way forward. It’s often noted that the difference between UK English, used here in Singapore too, gives the user a vastly different experience than US English. I know it’s a grey area, or gray area if you’re from the US but more emphasis should be paid to localizing sites. Or should that be localise:)

Does this plugin work okay on your ‘Review’ theme? I’m asking because I couldn’t get it working and I followed your directions very carefully.

Thanks
Steve

This is potentially really useful. The important thing is to really think about how you write your copy, if translation is going to be used extensively – for example not relying on idioms, and making your sentences simple in construction.

Robert,

I haven’t seen a single automated translation tool that does good translation. They do decent enough job for a person to possibly comprehend the meaning of the post but it is far from perfect.

I haven’t used Google Translate in some time, but I am looking for an alternative to translate my blog pages automatically and not have to continue translating by hand. I read that you said you’re bi-lingual – would you say that you have seen an improvement in the translations as of lately? A large portion of my site’s visitors are from South American countries, so I want to make sure they are able to read legit translations of my work without having to take the time to re-read everything.

The plugin looks great by the way!

Thanks,
Robert

Long time ago babelfish used to be way better, but now I’ve tried google with transaltions between languages like hebrew, italian, german and spanish, it was unexpected, but it did great, maybe some languages like the one they talk in slovenia, and similar languages are not being well translated to english, but I can say google is better from far.
