Very good extension by ITByTheSea, May 19, 2008
Install was a breeze and getting it to work was too.

I'd love to see more flexibility of the look. Specifically, I'd love to be able to enter a module class suffix to make the module fit better with my site(s).

That's the only thing I can think of that can be solved by the coders of the extension. I don't love the frame too much, but that's Google, Yahoo and/or Altavista related.

The flags versus drop down is not an easy one to solve. I like the look of the flags better, but objectively, the drop down takes way less space. Would be nice to be able to choose but I won't lose sleep over that one.

If I could just get the look issue I spoke of fixed, I'd be a VERY happy camper :)

As is, GREAT job! Thanks bunches!


Great stuff by yyviv, May 18, 2008
So far as I can say, this module is a really great one. It's way much easier to install compare to other multi-lingual support components.
And so far as we can see, this module gives us three option, either Yahoo, AltaVista or Google (in fact you can use three of them together)..so at least I can see the designers and programmers' efforts.
Besides, three of these are WORKING!!! Sincerely i would like to say it's a great module! and thanks for making this module available!


Does what it is supposed to! by kd3, May 4, 2008
Nice work. Really. :)

Just few qualms:

1. For yahoo! why there is no option for going back to original language? And why the size of the module can't be a little smaller like google one?

2. For Altavista why it opens in another page? And again why the size of the module can't be a little smaller like google one?

But even if I ignore these, its doing absolutely great.

Cheers!


Works great! by georgejc, April 3, 2008
Works great! No problems. Yahoo translation works best with my site. Thanks for the great little module!


Yahoo/Google translation. by bjude, March 18, 2008
Using moving up to Joomla 1.5.1 I could not find a translator that worked. Author was extremely helpful, suggesting the use of Google rather than Yahoo when wrapper class onfront page caused some errors. Worked best with Firefox as asian language did not display in IE7 (maybe a local issue) The best (only?) available online translator for Joomla 1.5.1. As suggested, flags would be nice rather than drop down text but a great start. Keep up the good work
Maybe it's not the best business package but for the language challenged among us, absulutely great.


Don't Waste Your Time With Others ... by htcltd, March 12, 2008
This is a great component. Very easy to install and it works. Unlike some of the other translators, the display on my pages was not compromised: all the pages look the same no matter what language is being used. The only suggestion I would make is not to use a drop-down box but to have flags of countries. Highly recommended!


Outstanding by willyneuhaus, February 20, 2008
Installed it this morning on a German site. It translates to English and French. Both languages are OK for personal use, however for business use, I would not recommend it.

Installation and setup are very easy.

Awesome by Hockeyump, October 10, 2007
I have a site that is in English because I don't speak other common languages, but it is an international site dealing with International hockey news. For the past 10 years I have wanted to carry the site in other languages and this does it all for me.

I know the Bablefish translations frequently leave a lot to be desired, but something is better than nothing and this Module does for me. Now to find a place to put it on the site (",)


Easy To Use and Install by offline, October 10, 2007

This module is very easy to use and install. It offers a great variety of languages that it translates to. Its only drawback is yahoo's lack of ability to handle some flash and javascript properly.
