Just How Good Are Translator Plugins?
March 23rd, 2007 • Related • Filed Under
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?

eej martin did you had Dutch on your website? I didn’t knew that. I am Dutch but I prefer the original posts.

I’m sure lots of users would welcome an Arabic translation - I know I would. Gengo’s support for right to left languages is still a little limited. Any feedback you can give me on where it can improve would be greatly appreciated. Stop by the forum if you get a chance to check it out and have some suggestions.
