giacomo says: Hi Ben,
talking about GLobal Translator…as I said some days ago I used this plugin (free version) until september, when i decide to eliminate it !
I deleted all cache pages, that were also deleted from Google index.
Well i noticed that sometimes Google spyder try to acces to http://WWW.mysite.com\XX\blalba.html where XX is language suffix that is used by your plugin as well.Do you have idea why Google find pages that actually doesn’t exist anymore?
Thanks

There are a few bugs still left over from gt.
I have been looking through the code and trying to get rid of the errors that show up
in google webmaster. It takes a long time for google to update so it will be a while before i am confident
about the code changes.I will try and release it soon, if I can see that pages are being delisted.
-
I also noticed that somethimes (sometimes not), when Google bot tryacces to these non-existent pages, automatically redirect to home page.

Google keep a list of the pages that they have previously have accessed on your site, deleting them will not stop the bot accessing them, they will however eventually stop trying to access those pages, if you want to speed up the process you can use Google Webmaster Tools to request them to be removed from the index.
-
Google will delist them if there are no links to the page. (global translator leaves some links in ie empty redirect)
Also if the page doesn’t exist it will be removed.Mainly the plan is to get them to not index in the first place.

hey Ben ..
Guv here again .. sorry to be a pain, but still having a pretty key problem which, I see, isn’t the case with your site, but I wonder if you’ve heard of it.
I’m using the notranslate class but now I get a bunch of Google code (I think for what is supposed to be a popup.)
So, instead of something like ..
code-blah-code-not translated
.. I get (I’ve taken out brackets so this will publish) ..
span onmouseover=”_tipon(this)” onmouseout=”_tipoff()” …. span class=”google-src-text” style=”direction …. etc
.. then Google churns out the original code, and code which is partly translated.
Very odd.
Any ideas? Would be most grateful for whatever light you can throw on this.

hey Ben .. right, er, problem solved, now got another!
the problem I had was due to the quote marks around the class not being upight ones like “notranslate” but, forward leaning ones (I can’t find the key to demonstrate, but like double backticks). so that is solved, but ..
now, i have an even more strange problem.
i have multiple uses of the span class (some code) on each of teh many tutorials I have on guvnr.com
up until the first code example the text appears to translate perfectly, and that code example is unchanged as well. but, following that piece of code, nothing whatsoever is translated, but remains in English (code and prose).
.. i am closing the span.
i have tried deleting the cace for the plugin, but that hasn’t helped.
you can see examples on pretty much any page on my site but, for example ..
http://guvnr.com/web/web-dev/configure-nginx-wordpress/
.. and click the tranlate button at the top of the page, and the translate menu will open.
many thanks again.
.. hmmn, maybe a clue .. just tried tranlating that page into Arabic .. and while the text again only translates until he first code span, the whole lot does reverse from right to left (correct Arabic styling) .. so something is trying to happen, even though the text doesn’t all switch.

Hi ben,
I remembered that Some month ago i tried another and very interesting translation plugin, that use google as translator engine.
Just to check you can find the official website here belowbye
G.-
Uh i forgot…
what do you thik about using htaccess to redirect to translated url, that this plugin seems to use?-
In what way?
This plugin tells wordpress what pages exist.
WordPress then uses .htaccess or whatever IIS usesAlot easier to let WordPress maintain the .htaccess

Ah ok!
I thought this script…
RewriteRule ^/?trans/(.+?)/(.*?)$ wp-content/plugins/best-seo-itranslator-for-wordpress/translonator.php?act=doTranslatePage=$1&dir=$2 [NC,L]
