I’m using the GT plugin from a couple of moths and I’m not experiencing the problems you mentioned. I’m using the PRO (paid) version.

# Lots of errors in Google webmaster tool
I’m having no errors with the version of the plugin I’ve installed

# Too many translation request might result in the banning of your IP
# Server load
The PRO version caches the pages generated by the users using the “client based translation system”. No server load and translation is done from the user IP.
So I set the “Translation engine connection” to 1200 seconds limiting automatic translation to one page every 20 minutes. Reducing banning and server load problems.

# Web space
Enabling cache compression I have 6500 translated pages using 45Mb of space.
The odd thing is that I only have 1300 translated pages in my sitemap. I’m trying to understand why.

# Duplicate content
There are two options to check in the plugin:
- Remove meta tags of type “keywords” and “description” from the translated pages.
- Append the language description to the title of the page.

# Traffic variation
I’m having a little burst in traffic (5-10%), that’s means few peoples from other corners of the word found usefull information they can’t found anywhere else.

As mine is a non-english zero-profit blog, having visits from people finding the information they are looking for is very important.

I am trying things on my new blog. As I bought my domain yesterday only , so its not risky to try anything. I also installed global translator and uninstalled it after reading several posts as above. Later I installed qtranslator and again uninstalled it. But even after removing the plugins completely, I see the links are working though they show the same english page on all pages of other languages. suppose “amitsharma. co. in” is my site the italian language site “amitsharma. co. in /it” is still working and shows english homepage. Any clue so as to what should i do?

Digital you may, but than your ranking will completely change in every country and from my bad experience, I wont suggest to try if your blog primary language is english.

This plugin is incredible! It might not work for you, but it works for me. I know couple of bloggers that have successfully installed global translator to work for their site. The only problem for this plugin is crawl errors, sometime Google bot won’t reach the actual translate site. There are 6 or 7 countries that is against TOS, it should not be included. Go to Macuha dot com and search on Global translator to find out the countries. If you have included them, make sure to disallow them in your robot.txt file.
