If you happen to be reading this in a feed that doesn’t support video, click here to see the video! I really do appreciate this plugin and recommend popping it into your blog at your earliest convenience. I get great traffic every day as a result of using it. It’s automatic, and it’s free. Let me know what you think!

You can download it for free here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/global-translator/

As you know, I rarely recommend “automated tools” really of any kind, but I have to admit this one has always worked for me. It’s not perfect. Nothing is. But it gets traffic to your site that you would never be able to get otherwise.

Are you using Global Translator? Have you heard of it? Criticisms?

UPDATE: just a heads up everyone. After a nice run, I will most likely be taking this plugin down. Unfortunately there seems to be no support at this point, and I’m having some caching issues. This is unfortunate, because it’s been a great tool for making this site more accessible and visible. It’s brought a lot of traffic, and I hate to take it down. But it’s started failing on a number of translations, and it’s causing some sitemap errors. Nothing remains the same forever of course, and without support, this plugin seems it may no longer be viable.

This is a great lesson in the use of plugins actually. You have to keep an eye on them! If anyone does have a solution or even knows of a custom replacement for this function, I’d love to hear from ya. Peace.
