Just How Good Are Translator Plugins?


Martin from gHacks is recruiting human translators to convert his site into other languages so that he can extend the reach of his site. I’ve been relying on the troublesome Angsuman Translator plugin to automatically perform the same task on my site, but I’ve never really stopped to think about how accurate the translations are.

Can anyone tell me how accurate my translated pages are? Unfortunately I can’t do this myself as my language skills are awful as I didn’t pay a lot of attention in my French lessons as at my school taking a language at GCSE was optional, and I always knew I would take a second science.

I guess a second question is, do you use the translation service on this site?
