    Software cannot translate language, only a human being can. Google Translate has some kind of widget for 'translating' your website but you would never use it on a serious website, it's just statistical guesswork by a machine and ranges from "a good approximation" to "totally incomprehensible" and would be more likely to make a visitor LEAVE your website a lot of the time!

      YES! - if you want real multilingual sites...

    I think maybe you can try the Google translate? I think its a widget that allows the user to change to whatever language he wants to. There a re a few sites around that i have seen that uses this. However not sure as to how accurate the translation is though...

    It's not really about accuracy per se, it's about the fact a computer cannot understand what it is 'translating' so what you get is something that IS understandable a lot of the time, but also full of crazy constructions that make no sense, and it's obvious to the reader that something is wrong! Of course, you can't pay to have your website translated into 200 languages, I know where you're coming from! But if you use the Google Translate tool you should know what you are getting is a lot like 'spun' content. Also if you use the automated Google tool it's possible the pages won't get indexed as G knows it's not human-written content. It might even run off Javascript, I am not sure, but that is definitely no good for your content. I very rarely recall Googling for something and getting machine-translated content, though I won't stake my life on that. So all I am saying is, if you are fine with spun content on your site (like you are making a great big Adsense site or something) then knock yourself out
