Hi,

I was wondering if there is a plugin or a code snippet, that would  
translate the static content [possibly dynamic too] on the website for  
the visitors coming from different geographical regions of the world.

In one of my earlier projects, I used the plugin on Joomla [CMS] that  
auto translates the content.

Here is the site, the plugin is at the left bottom.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I actually have no hints for you, but do you think it’s a good idea to  
present auto translated content to your users?

I tried to read your page auto translated to my native language,  
german, and it’s absolutely unreadable.
