I know that, you know that, but I’m sure there would be some out there who would give it a try. I’m just trying to save them some time.

Absolutely not. These applications help a little to increase readership (which I have proven) but it cannot be relied on for something as legal and complicated like the one you’ve mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, you still get the gist of the translation so it does help, and I suppose that's all you can expect from a non human translation. I still use them for non professional translations, but if I needed to translate a will or legal document or something I would definitely pay to get it professionally done. .-= Sire´s last blog ..A Step By Step Guide Of Hosting Your WordPress Blog =-.

We all have our fair share of sentiments when it comes to faulty translations and other things associated with it. It’s nice to know from an Italian perspective that these services came out short to please a native tongue.

Being of Italian decent and knowing a little Italian, but not exceptionally proficient at it, I have used several free internet sites to translate certain texts, both from Italian to English and the reverse. I've even paid for software to translate text, and I must admit they don't do the best job. I sure wouldn't use them for anything of importance. .-= Sire´s last blog ..A Poem For Halloween The Night Of Frights =-.

Translation scripts thou can help but still has its lapses. The major challenge is coming up with a more natural voice on translated web pages. I have proved it in our native tongue. I cannot speak in behalf of other languages. Your plugin (which I use on this site) is incomparable to other plugins while Google Translate is also promising.

More improvements in the future will definitely spell the difference and you can count me in for support suggestions as a part of the WordPress Community.

It’s nice to have the plugin developer drop by and comment.
Thank you.

Hello,

The main purpose of Transposh is to allow you (and your users) to create a better translation. So the question is not really better translation vs. better SEO because Transposh does both.

It’s more about how deep you want translation integrated within your site, and we will keep on improving our plugin, suggestions are welcomed.
