WordPress Plugin: Bing Translator

[sc:wordpress-category ]When I first setup JumbleCat, I had a translator plugin using Google to do the translation work.  After a while the plugin broke and the author didn’t update the plugin so I had to remove it.

I’ve had a requirement recently to support translation on another WordPress site so I poked around in the plugin repository and found Bing Translator.

It’s a nice little plugin that uses Bing to do the translation and doesn’t require a page reload either.

There are only a couple of settings; whether to automatically or manual translate the site based upon the detected user language, a colour theme to use (which doesn’t seem to do anything, it looks like Bing has changed the back-end and no longer needs this) and a setting to let users submit translations or not.

So far it works well and I haven’t had any issues.
