using google translate for your wp site?

9 years ago

Hello There

Yes it does help to translate the language base on what country you are doing it for.

Because in google it is really a big factor. Also it helps a lot in your organic view because this way they can understand what you put in the page.

When it comes to whole article I suggest you find some translator, because google translates the word in a word by word. So the thought of the sentence or paragraph was lost.

Thanks

Not sure about the quality of other language translations, but Mandarin Chinese sucks if you are relying on the Google translation only. If you have other tools or knowledge that helps fill in the gaps, it's a good starter though.

Personally, I would never use Google translate, or any other machine translation, in my business. If I didn't know the language, I would hire someone to translate it for me. You really aren't going to get that many conversions if someone in, say, Finland goes to your site and it reads: Make money today! With software can make money from today starting!

I'm a freelance translator, and that's the advice we always dish out. Google translate is great if you need help understanding something. You can piece together the sometimes bizarre string of words that it spits out (if the original text uses idioms or slang then it's really strange), but I wouldn't rely on it to communicate your message professionally to the rest of the world, especially once you leave the realm of indo-european languages.

I fully agree with this. Google translate is nowhere near accurate enough to rely upon, especially if using for SEO purposes.

As already pointed, machine generated translation is as bad for your business as a fried drumstick because both are useless for your business’s growth.
If you are interested in translating your website, better get it done from professionals.

It's better to translate manually. I personally use a WP plugin called Q Translate X that's compatible with Yoast SEO. It does the job well.

Google Translator is an incredible piece of software, but it has its limitations.

If you have a piece of text in a language you don't understand, google can very quickly and easily give you the general idea of the text in your own language.

But using it to translate a website you're going to publish into a foreign language is asking for trouble. Language is too complex, and too full of subtleties, to expect a computer program, even a sophisticated one, to produce the sort of pursuasive compelling copy needed on a web page.

If you want to use any language translator apps, it will not be able to translate 100% accurately. there are many sentence answer are changing again & again in different language. If you would like to use multi language, you should use freelancer to translate in his / her native language. In this case you should hire as many freelancer as many language you need.

If you used Google Translator for your website, but Google Translator can't translate the whole sentence meaningfully. It just translate the word by word which becomes difficult for web user to understand the content. This bad user experience is not good for SEO.

Yeah, better to just write content in your native language or hire an actual translator. Even then, it would have to be someone you trust -- I'm sure most of the online workers would just run it through Google Translator and call it a day.

You can use it for translating "Hello" or translating a text that you not understand.

But using it to translate text and use those text on your website is a 100% NO

It looks very very bad, with a lot of mistakes in it.

Actually there is no tools, which will be able to translate 100% accurately. So I use manual translating in each of my works. I do not like to use the auto tools for any translation. Thanks a lot.

Google Translate is atrocious at translating English to Russian, I know that much. I work with someone in Russia who is very fluent in Russian and English and one time, I sent an email to him in Russian using Gmail's Google Translate option and he replied back that what I sent was ridiculous and didn't even make sense lol.

Thanks
