Developing a website for international traffic was daunting at first. I had looked at some of the online translators available, and was sadly disappointed. Typically free translators, will try to include their brand into the translation service that they offer. This would be either by changing the URL, or by including an I Frame or some other nuisance.
I had settled on Babelfish, a free service from Yahoo, and easy to say, that this was not a good solution. Translations were inconsistent at best. As I was new to this, I tried to incorporate Google Translator, which led me to JQuery Translate. When I say led me to, I mean that Google was not independently offering the service for large amounts of text. Remember the goal was to dynamically translate an entire page. Needless to say I “googled” Jquery translate, and arrived here: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-translate/.
Needless to say, I cut my development time in half using this option. Let me know if you need some help setting this up. It should take about a half an hour or so to implement.
