This WordPress plugin allows you to put a widget on your site in order to translate your pages into many different languages using a variety of online translator services like Google Translation Services and BabelFish. The plugin was created by David Pozza and has been around since 2006. This plugin boast to be able to translate over 41 languages. The list of languages includes are: Italian, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Portuguese, English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Greek, Dutch, Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Albanian, Estonian, Galician, Maltese, Thai, Turkish,and Hungarian.
When you click on the flag that represents the language you want to translate your page, the translator will go right to work and within a few minutes, a new page with the translation of it is posted.
My issue is that if you use several templates and different dynamic sidebars, you can only use 1 instance of this plugin unless you put it into the layout before the dynamic sidebar php function. Another thing is that the flags are so close together. Perhaps a special css file to space these out would be great. In fact, I may redesign my own flags. Also, I am all for credit, but it is kind of annoying to see the link to the creator. I already give credit in a special section on my site. I think an option to remove it would be great.
Overall, I think this plugin is really useful. It might not be totally correct in translating pages, but it would be a great help for those needing a quick translation.
Have you tried this? Does this seem like something you might use?
