Translation Is Google Translator Enough? The
advent of Ecommerce has changed everything. Price
comparisons, 24 hours convenience, one click
shopping, rapid delivery right at your doorstep
and what not! Having a good product and
displaying it online definitely maximizes the
shopping experience. But what about the
information displayed on the store which
influences people to make a buying decision?
Should it be displayed just in one language?
Although English is a universal language, it
ranks third (after Chinese and Spanish) when it
comes to the most widely spoken languages.

• A report named Cant Read, Wont Buy Why
  Language Matters on Global Websites which was
  released by Common Sense Advisory in 2014
  revealed that there is a strong association
  between the language used by online store owners
  and the buying decisions of people. Customers are
  more comfortable surfing the store that uses
  their local language.
• If you are a Magento store owner, it is quite
  likely that you will get visitors from other
  countries. And Google translator certainly proves
  to be a boon during such times. But is it enough?
  The professional translators and the users of
  translation tools have come across two major
  drawbacks of Google Translator
• The quality of translated text isnt of superior
  quality
• The translated text cannot be edited
• Google Translator literally translates a phrase
  into another language. And by doing so, it quite
  often fails to convey the intended message.
• So how do you overcome this drawback and still
  use the power of Google translator to minimize
  your translation costs and automate the
  translation process without compromising on the
  quality of translation? By using Google
  translation API to translate text and then
  manually editing it wherever the translation
  isnt meaningful.
• This exactly what our Magento Language Translator
  Extension does for Magento store owners. Lets
  see how you can improve the quality of your
  translations with Magento Language Translator
  extension.

• Control The Content That Gets Translated
• When you go by the usual translation
  functionality of Google Translator, every page
  gets translated. But with the help of Language
  Translator extension, admin can select text
  fields out of the products, CMS Pages and
  categories that he/she wants to translate. All
  you need to do is enter the Google API key. The
  language in which the content needs to be
  translated can also be selected.
• Translate Store Reviews
• Reviews play a key role in influencing peoples
  decision to buy a product. Our extension provide
  the facility of translating reviews at a store
  level. You can also select a particular store
  view and change the review language for that
  store. When you select multiple languages, a
  translate button will enable the translation
  which is available on the default configuration.
• CMS Page Language Translation
• With the help of an extension like this, you can
  easily translate CMS page details including Page
  Title and Content Heading. The Meta keywords and
  Meta description can also be translated. This
  means you can boost SEO performance not only in
  your local language but also in other languages.
  For example, if you translate the content in
  French, your website will also get ranked amongst
  other French language websites.
