Wise decision. I know the plug-in has a lot of potential but also risks

I’ve been running this plugin on a couple of my sites and it has definately negatively affected them so Im slowly removing it ensuring its not going to massively increase my 404s

I remember reading it on a Google page that you can only keep the translated contents to a certain period. Can’t remember where though

Thanks for the detailed breakdown on this plugin. I sooooo want to install it for the traffic boost, but the comments about 404’s and possible Adsense TOS violations scare the hell out of me. Has anybody seen an official ruling from Google on this?

Thanks, look forward to more comments on this topic

Hi Michael, only to inform that the plug-ins author made some interesting changes in the last relase (1.2.6), that probably solve the “Unreachable URLs problem” in google wm tools:

“replaced 503 HTTP code (”Network Temporarily Unreachable”) with a 302 redirect on not yet translated pages in order to remove the warning messages on GooGle WebMaster Tool.”
