Use Global Translator PlugIn to leverage your blog posts

I just installed the Global Translator PlugIn.   This plugin uses an online translation service such as googles to translate all your blog entries and place the static translation of  them in a cache folder.   If you use the Google XML Sitemaps Generator for WordPress   your foreign language versions of your blog pages will be indexed by google.  With this blog being translated into over 30 languages its likely a increase in web traffic will result.  I’ll be sure to report back to you on the results.   

The online translators can be goofy at times with their results being quite humorous.    You should expect your posts to be understandable by someone with good reading skills but not completely correct by any means.

The translated cache directory is here.   … after having this installed for a week I had 1500 translations. Unfortunately the authoer decided to update the plugin. At that time he changed the location in the directory structure of the translations.  When I updated the plugin in my installation the process wiped out all of my translations! Not good. I’ll have to wait more time now.  I was planning on donating if and when my blog traffic went up.  That is dependent on google indexing said translations which results in significant amount of time before said increases are seen.  This is one thing the author needs to avoid doing in the future. I already have 1000 entries in my blog.  Its going to take long time for all of them to get done!
