Published on| December 25th, 2009 | No Comment.

The post “Automatic translation with WordPress” was written before.

In previous post, it corresponded to the internationalization (multi language) by translating automatically(ex. Google Translator,.).
However, the automatic translation does not work very well as other language translation. But You will notice the act of you was a mistake at once, because your act makes uninteresting original post.
You will notice what you should translate until the automatic translation becomes wise a little more.
However, the plug-in introduced before doesn’t contain the function to correct the content translated automatically.

A following”qTranslate” can edit translated sentences, but doesn’t provide the automatic translation function.

This plug-in is very effective to edit sentences translated for myself by the other language (Excluding the mother tongue) as much as possible.
The will might run to the extent that it is not an automatic translation. However, because the automatic translation function is not provided, it is necessary to edit it for myself. I think that the plug-in introduces by “Translate with WordPress automatically” is recommended of one where it is troublesome.
