If you scroll down and look at the right-hand side of the sidebar of this “Laingan.com” Blog, you will notice that I have included a new feature called “Global Translator“. You can also find those tiny images showing the flags of 34 countries. 

This Global Translator is a free and open source WordPress Plugin which is created by “nothing2hide.net“. It has the capability to automatically translate your blog in 34 different languages, namely :

Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croat, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Rumanian, Russian, Serbian,  Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

My “Laingan.com” Blog is written in English and the Global Translator is beneficial to those non-English readers if their preferred languages fall into the 33 different languages (excluding English) stated above.

Global Translator has the ability to provide the translations by using the 4 different Translation Engines, namely Google Translation Engine, Babel Fish, Promt and FreeTranslations.com. I’m using Google Translation Engine in this “Laingan.com” Blog to do the translation.

As for the quality of the translation, I would say it ranges from good to weird at times. Some of the words or phrases have different meaning once they are being translated from English to ,say, Chinese. It sounds funny and ridiculous at times.

Anyway, Global Translator is a good WordPress Plugin for you to install it to your Blog if you wish your non-English readers or visitors to understand what you have written in your Blog posts. Give it a try.
