I have a client that wants her wordpress site to have the ability to change languages for the user viewing the blog. She needs it to read from English to Chinese. Does anyone know of a good wordpress plugin that will do this?

Thanks guys.

  • Unless she makes posts in both languages... it doesn't make sense to have anything bilingual.

    There are some "plugins" that claim to 'translate' the posts using Google's machine translation but those are very bad translations.

    I may offer more help if you (or the client) can describe exactly what you want.

    • Thanks Istvan. She will be posting on a new wordpress blog that I am building in English. But she has Chinese clients as well. So I was looking for a way that she could just post in English every few days and if one of her Chinese clients come to the blog, they could press a button or something that will translate the post or web content from English to Chinese for her Chinese clients.

      I know nothing will be perfect to do this, but looking for the easiest option.

      Any ideas?

    • Thanks and I did, I found a few solutions but I was looking for a recommendation to help reduce the testing phase :-)

      I figured if someone has used one before and liked it, then I would have a winner and save time. Kinda how there are way too many social media share plugins, but only 2-3 are really good and I only use "sexy bookmarks" myself.

  • I've used GTranslate - it works quite well and offers both traditional and simplified Chinese.

    That said, I've not asked any Chinese people about the quality of the translation

    Note - be careful not to confuse GTranslate with QTranslate - the latter doesn't work very well with WP3.X

    Cheers,

    Martin.
