    Hi there,

    The plugin was working just fine, but today it started behave somewaht strange. The little flags on the post (which I added as a widget) start to link to a tag, not even a tag from the post just another tag.

    The cache does not seem to expire for me, which makes the front page obsoleat on the translated version. I have tried to shorten the expiry time from 30 days to 7 days, but still no change. Is there a way to “force” an update for a post/page?
    The front page should preferably expire with any new post.

        Can you check the dates on the files in the cache.
        Also can enable debug, this should why it isn’t expiring

        Will test this, thanks. Currently, it seems I have been banned from Google, so I will have to await being un-banned.

        Strange thing. No log-file is created (new post added today), although the option is check in the Settings.

        Current translation status: Translations status:Bad or unhandled response from the ‘GOOGLE’ translation engine.

        Any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks.

        I have now check the log file, and it does not provide any help in finding out why the cache does not expire. What would you suggest? Shouldn’t pages move into stale cache also? I have no pages there (all green or red, no yellow indicators).
        Any ideas? Thanks!

    A couple questions…

    1. Google WebmasterTools identifies several of the translated pages are not followed because ‘Redirect URL too long’. What is this?

    2. Upon enabling sitemap integration, will new posts be auto-translated and added to the sitemap?

      1. When there is no available connection to google translate it redirects. These can’t and won’t be indexed anyway.

      2. Sitemap intergration adds successfully translated pages to the sitemap provided byu the xml sitemap plugin. You will need to update the sitemap from the other plugin

    Hi Ben!
    I noticed that your 1st “competitor” :D added a new feature that permit to choose between a 302 redirect and a 503 error on not yet translated pages.
    What do you think about?

    Hi Ben,
    first of all, really thank you for your work.
    I started using your plugin and it works fine, but when I check my google webmaster tools report I find a lot of 404s like this

    http://www.mentecritica.net/arrivederci-clemente-a-presto/informazione/cronache-italiane/mc/3272/&rurl=translate.google.com&lang=it&usg=ALkJrhhRGaacTpJv_Z_MtR-easO3PPDELA

    I think it is due to spider action. The bad bot option is set in plugin administration panel. Any idea?
    What about an option to disable spider at all leaving the translation job only to human requests?

    Thanks in advance and, please, excuse me for my poor English command.
