Beta Version Info
There is a beta version that’s in testing phases. It fixes xhtml issues.

[...] Screenshot Mit Hilfe vom Google-Spachservice kann man die gewünschte Seite übersetzen, diesen Service kann man auch für seine eigene Website anbieten. Scott hat sich dazu ein wenig Gedanken gemacht und die URLs von Google mit ein wenig php so erweitert, dass jede aktive Seite in die jeweilige Sprache übersetzt wird. Dieses Plugin hat mir gefallen und ich habe es für die deutschen WordPress-User geändert, so dass auch wir eine Übersetzung in andere Sprachen anbieten können. Leider ist der Umfang des Übersetzungsservice bei Goggle noch nicht sonderlich umfangreich, was das Sprachangebot aus dem deutschen umfasst. Trotzdem lohnt sich die Einbindung dieses kleine Service.

[...] I’ve been using a plugin called WP-Translate, which uses Google to translate a web site into one of 11 different languages (Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Portugese). Maybe I just liked the cool flag icons that came with it. The question I need to answer (and which you, gentle readers, can help me with) is: Do I want my site to validate or do I want those cute flag icons on my web site? Just how many of you feel a need to read about my escapades in anything other than English? My myriad gratuitous cat photos need no translation. So: [...]
[...] 2) WP-Translate. You can now view this blog in many different languages by clicking on the flag of your choice at the top. If you’ve ever been to a foreign language website, and asked Google or Altavista to translate it into English for you, you know how horrible these translations are. But it makes my blog appear more international. [...]

[...] Thanks to a nifty Wordpress plug-in that uses Google and Alta Vista’s Babelfish software, you can now easily read this site in any of the following languages: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Chinese. My initial impetus for adding this feature was to offer a Spanish version of ISharetheRoad.com. Since that site is a product of the City of Portland, we wanted to make it accessible to as much of the community as possible. [...]

[...] Currently I am experimenting with »Wordpress Translate version 2.0, developed by Scott Hough. It uses the Google translation machine for some languages and the Alta Vista translation machine for some other languages. Not all languages are working yet as the Alta Vista links seem not entirely in order, but Scott is developing a newer version…. will be continued [...]
[...] Hace un tiempo, revisando las estadisticas, encontré que muchos usuarios usaban la herramienta de traducción de Google para leer los artículos publicados en este blog. Decidí instalar un plugin para automatizar esta tarea y únicamente encontré un plugin y un widget sin costo. Para que funcione el widget hay que instalar unos widget-plugins, así que decir probar el plugin, encontrando que éste solo traducía del inglés a otros idiomas. Lo he modificado para conseguir que traduzca del español a otros idiomas, usando los servicios proporcionados por Altavista Babelfish y Worldlingo. Actualmente funciona con 5 idiomas: inglés, alemán, francés, italiano y ruso. [...]
[...] As I have set up this blog I spend countless amount of time researching on the Internet about available WordPress plugins and here are some of my opinions and questions from my research. The goal was to carefully select and only implement the most important plugins in order not to slow the website down. The problem is deciding what is important and what is better or worse. Is my music play list really important? Probably not but it adds personality to the blog and it might even raise search engine ranking. This is really the only plugin that I used that displays personal information, everything else serves a purpose. Maybe I should have said relative purpose, most of the plugins do not really help in providing better content but enhance the look of the blog. The math question on comments is my current spam protection tool, which is not necessary since I just started the blog, but I think it is better then the regular captcha plugins which I do not like because I often cannot read the image letters. Plus, captcha doesn’t work as effectively as it should so if I ever run into spam problems I will just install Bad Behavior 2 and Spam Karma 2. Another plugin that is rather useless is the graph that shows post times called sparkstats. In my opinion, however, it looks pretty cool and its definitly better then BlogTimes which is quite similar. I also had to add a clean archives plugin to enhance the look of the archives and wpPaginate to get rid of the next/previous look I did not like. I don’t think these plugins slow down the website too much so why not add them. The important plugins that I have are Popularity Contest, Most Commented, and Jerome’s Keywords. Recent posts and recent comments were already implemented into the theme but they are also most important in my opinion. These plugins provide internal linking and engage the viewer in the content on your blog so if they slow down the website, it’s worth it. Plus, I don’t think they cause any real delay. I have a bunch of plugins that run in the admin, they are essential, and I am pretty damn sure that they do not effect how fast the website loads. I am referring to things like post spell checker called Corrector, Maintenance Mode, and Flickr Photo Album. The Flickr Photo Album is quite large and I only use it to quickly insert my flickr pictures into posts, but when I check the source of the blog I don’t see anything that has to do with this plugin so it should not effect the load speed. Is this correct? Translation is definitly important and I use WP-Translate which I think is the best plug-in out there. My definition of best is simple and effective. Every blog should have a translation feature, I hate reading blogs written in a language I don’t know and manually trying to translate them via Google. It’s so much easier to just click on a flag. While I am on this subject I would like to plug my new, not quite finished, project: TRANSLATEN. The idea is that computer translation sucks and many people want human translation. The website is going to be a simple yet effective forum powered by vanilla where anyone can post something they want translated and others can translate it by replying to the thread. Things like paypal donations to translators and voting on quality of translation is being implemented. If you are interested in something like this, please go and join. To finish with the WordPress plugins, I also added Users Online, Ajax Contact Form, Subscribe to Comments, Vipers Video Quicktags, Subscribe 2, and Xfish meta. I consider these pretty important. I also installed the BDP Referral Tracker which I think is quite large and thus, I wonder if this could be slowing down my blog. If you have any opinions on this please leave me some comments. Overall, I am trying to find a balance between speed of the website, functionality, and content. I have about 30 plugins installed and I think that the website is still loading fine so far. The slow down is mostly generated by the javascript from AdSense but there is nothing I can do about that. Finally for tracking stats I use Google Analytics and SiteMeter. I have two of them because I want to test how they compare. Users online and BDP Referral Tracker also provide some statistics. Is it a good idea to keep Google Analytics and SiteMeter or should I settle for just one? Does Users Online or BDP Referral Tracker slow down the load time of the website? I appreciate all your opinions. [...]
[...] The WordPress plugin wp-translate is really excellent but it does not validate in XHTML.

[...] 4. WP-Translate by Scott Hough: When I first migrated Adsenseshack to Wordpress I read up a lot on SEO practices for the blogging platform. One in particular stood out in my mind, extending the reach of your site by making it accessible to foreign subscribers. After some research I’ve found this translation plugin to be the best for my needs. The only tweak I had to do with the code was change the path of the flag images since it would show up on some pages and not others when installed. My reader base has expanded over the Europe and Asia rapidly since this one went live and the SEs started crawling my site in the different languages. [...]

[...] Había probado otros plugins como wp-translate pero tienen una pega, y es que realizan las traducciones utilizando algún traductor web de los que existen actualmente y que todos sabemos hacen unas traducciones demasiado literales y, por tanto, bastante malas. Además, al probarlo me he dado cuenta de que se hace una mala carga de la versión traducida del blog, faltan imágenes, aparecen textos fuera de su sitio, lo que hace que sea algo incómodo de usar.
