Bens Translator – WordPress Plugin

Bens Translator is a WordPress Translator Plugin. It uses Google Translator to translate pages and save a cached version to be displayed to your visitors. This allows the translated versions to be indexed by search engines something the “official” google translate does not. Bens Translator can increase you google traffic in other languages.

    Italian, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Portuguese, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Greek, Dutch, Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Hebrew, Serbian, Slovak, Thai, Turkish, Hungarian

    Nevermind for number 3. I commented out save cache function and make the redirect go straight to google translate.

    Hi Benz,

    I’ve commented out as you suggested. The only problem now is that when the user clicks any flag for the first time, it will redirect to (http://website/ko) first instead of (http://translate.google.com/..) , thus they will see the screwed CSS translated page first.

    Can you please tell me how to bypass that url? (website/lang)

    Thanks.

    Hi Ben!

    I don’t know if this has happened before but I can’t seem to change and then save any of the settings for the plugin within wordpress.

    Any ideas?

        I’ve got the same error on line 69 i’ve tried to ignore it the line but then another pops on other line i think it wants if(!interface_exists(“bentr_translation_status”))

        Mine php version is:
        PHP 5.2.4

        Really like your work
        Thanks!!!
        Also is there nice plugin editor for wordpress like wiki to let users reedit this translations?

        • Ben says:

          Sorry about the error. Looks like a more common problem than I thought.
          I will change the way it checks to see if the function is set.

          “Also is there nice plugin editor for wordpress like wiki to let users reedit this translations?”
          Not quite sure what you mean by this.

        • sinmania says:

          Well if I post something translated. I need users to edit the page like wiki and then after my approval of correction to post it. This is because google don’t translate very correctly – so I need to edit the posts logical but i want mine users of the blog to help me. There were wordpress-wiki but it doesn’t work it has wiki-friendly mark bellow the post and then everyone can edit this page but it crashes…

    hi Ben,
    I noticed the follow strange 404 error in Google WM tools, that i think might be caused by a access probem to google transl engine.
    http://www.landschleicher.com/2009/01/mailand-%E2%80%93-auch-im-winter.html&rurl=translate.google.com&lang=de&usg=ALkJrhjeMKWmsKf0T-AiIKkVRdsFV5eX0w.
    bye
    G.

    • Ben says:

      Its doing what it should do as the url is invalid.
      Does google WM show what page linked to it?

      It may be an old page in the cache from a previous version
