You believe in your blog and write in it good content. You are monetizing it with AdSense and you earn something: few dollars or thousands of dollars, doesn’t matter.
Would you increase your earning by 10%, 20%, 100% doing nothing? You can.
Let me explain how: your blog is written in english, but your content is good for every people around the world interested in your blog topic.
The world DOES NOT speak english everywhere!
So, what about to translate one or more or all of your posts in another language to address those people who search with italian, french, german, finnish, chinese keywords?
Translations of texts can be made costly by professionals, by hand with automatic tools or directly by your WordPress blog.
You have 500 articles? Translating them in italian, french, spanish, german you’ll have 2500 articles. Your blog will explode with content and even if the translation quality is not really good, volumes compensate it. And you only need to click on “activate”.
Activate what? A translation plugin, like the wonderful “Global Translator”. It features translation from english to 41 language, totally automated.
What a multiply factor: 41!!!
Let me doing some computation: 500 articles multiplyed by 41 gives 20500 articles. Uhm, are you understanding, now? I leave it as homework to verify how many days you need to reenter of this plugin costs.
Here the comprensive language list: Italian, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Portuguese, English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Greek, Dutch, Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Albanian, Estonian, Galician, Maltese, Thai, Turkish, Hungarian.
Global Translator comes with two versions: the Gold one (buy now here) with support from the author and the Silver version (buy now here) for blog owner who want to do all by them self.
I'm Stefano Lissa. Ten years ago I was building web sites for pleasure. Blogs didn't exist, web content systems were ugly, hosting was really expensive... and my student pocket was empty.
Off late I’ve been planning to buy global translator, but whats the difference between gold and silver. I know that with gold membership, we get the authors support, but I’m interested in knowing how essential it is to get the authors support.
Also, does it really help in improving the traffic as claimed by the author.
Thanks for your replies in advance.

Silver membership means you have tried the free version and it works for you, so you want to switch to “pro” version to have more features. The author doesn’t do any activity like configuration or compatibility checking. With gold version you can ask for it. I think that if you submit a bug, the author will solve it, even if you have silver license
I used this plugin on every WordPress blog I set up. It actually creates completely new pages on autopilot, thus obtaining a bigger site without more work. It is one of my top 3 favorite WP plugins.

I read one of your previous posts and you mentioned you are hosting with hostgator, can you please confirm if this plugin works with hostgator?
I currently am using the free version, but not getting any pages translated, will the silver version fix this?
Global translator is what I’ve been looking for, my client was looking for automated translation solution for their blog. I’ll advice them to read your post. Thanks Stefano!
