So I'm now testing <a href="http://www.nothing2hide.net/blog/2006/08/20/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/" title="Global Translator" rel="nofollow">Global Translator</a> and <a href="http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/wordpress-plugin-automatic-machine-translation-for-your-blog-in-eight-languages-spanish-french-german-portuguese-italian-japanese-korean-and-chinese/" title="Translator" rel="nofollow">Angsuman's Translator</a> WordPress Plugins on a couple of different full version WordPress blogs to see what the response is and how I like the different translations. While they are similar, Angsuman's requires curl and Global Translator doesn't. I'll be reporting on these soon, so stay tuned. Google’s translation ability, as you say, is very limited.
