Babelfish<\/strong>. Connected Internet says his site could be actually getting less traffic rather than more.<\/p>\n<p>Getting humans to translate your <strong>blog posts in multiple languages<\/strong> is a professional job, a continuous one on a daily basis and cannot be expected to be free. Many blogs have started <strong>hiring professional translators<\/strong> to create translated versions of their blogs.<\/p>\n<p>The Blog Herald switched to human translations, launched <a href=\"http:\/\/jp.blogherald.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Blog Herald Japan<\/a> and are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogherald.com\/2007\/03\/14\/should-you-consider-human-translation-for-your-blog\/\" rel=\"noopener\">reporting success<\/a> with it.<\/p>\n<p>Weblog Tools Collection was recently looking for blog translators in Spanish and French. The translators were expected to translate all (new) posts into their respective language and make a daily commitment to posting changes and updates, moderate and answer comments and post any new material relevant to blogging in general and WordPress in particular. Some remuneration will be involved. I see 2 language translations already live.<\/p>\n<p>Ghacks is looking for translators and is willing to pay 50% of Google Adsense revenue that the translated pages generate. The translators need work on a daily basis to translate everything that they write into the other language. I see 3 language tranlations already live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human translation is the best option<\/strong> to make <em>sensible translation<\/em> of your blog webpages (if you can afford it). Translators have a huge revenue option opening up and I predict this will grow in a huge way in the near future. I am sure WordPress translation plugins authors are busy figuring out a way to better caching and better and more readable automated machine translation (I hope they do this soon before users start switching).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After installing the Global wordpress translation plugin, I have been subjected to constant Forbidden 403 Errors on all the translated&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-2192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
