I don't really know what to say about this extension that hasn't already been said. It's perfect. Fast, compact and unobtrusive. This has got to be one of my favorite extensions. Excellent work!

If you looking for a translator that uses Google translator this latest version 1.5.x.16 is the best and most flexible translator. Its easy to install and set up and within 5 minutes you can use both the power of Google translator and Joomla. The pro version also give you SEFs and Google index so what are you waiting for? The latest version fix problems with Mootools and Jquery conflicts and it should work for 99% with all templates and extensions. So thanks for your work for the whole Joomla community on this one Mr Edvard!

As a newbie, I waste a lot of time to find the right extensions. I am working on a french website and it is vital for its success to make its contents available to the rest of the word. Thanks to GTranslate that's now done. Set up and running in no time. Look beautiful and offer many features. Brilliant…

this module is perfect...full stop

Well, just like the earlier review below, I too thought the last version was pretty good, but this version is utterly brilliant.. If you need a site translator, your journey ends with this one. Get it quick before the developer changes his mind!!!
To the developer: Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this with Joomla community.

I installed the latest free version today which includes some new Ajax Stuff and now my content is translated on the fly!
So the page does not even refresh, you don't see the google translation header, the content is simply replaced by the translated equivalent...
I used to be fan of this extension but this new release is just amazing.
Brilliant!!!

My favorite joomla translator! The update today make it very impressive, although I been using it for a while, the updated version does not reload the page and is fast and does not effect the url. Thanks for creating this. Cheers Josh Lewis.

I was afraid to look into site translation components... I was sure it was going to be an ordeal. I installed this and it works perfectly, immediately. Less than 5 minutes to have a multi-lingual site!
Of course I chose Chinese as my first sample language, and then discovered that I couldn't read any of the languages in the language list either, so couldn't revert back to English. (I had turned off all the flags: I didn't see the point in using them.) Now I'm using the flags, too, so I can get back to English again. :)
This is a really great module.

Nice mod easy to use and very user friendly...
Very very nice work Is a very nice free tool...at the moment i only see one issue, My web site is originally in english, went i translate the first time all works fine on any language...but if i do another translate (second time from the fist translate)...all the divs on my design are located on diferent places or lost... I really appreciate your help if is a bug in the mod or maybe an special requirement for the desing of my joomla template.
I was thinking if is possible to "redirect" the translation, like the home or an specific page of my site.
Thanks a lot for your attetion,Have a nice day!
Kind regards...nice Work!

Thanks for your kind words. Try to validate your website with http://validator.w3.org and try to fix all the major issues like XML Parsing errors.
I'm not sure about the "redirect" translation, but if you are asking about having translated page on a new page of your website like http://domain.com/en/, http://domain.com/fr/, etc. then you may consider Pro version.

Super quick and easy. Even the free module is a step up in simplicity and ease-of-use over some of the other translators available. Thanks for such a great extension!

This is a great extension that is very easy to configure and make live. About 40 different languages you can select from to allow for translation. Very cool.

Purchased this Pro Module for a Chinese website,
Edvard installed it for me via ftp and after i turned the pro version ON, it all worked, nothing extra needed, great job !

some time ago was a very slow process and wrong. With this module we can finally translate in a way perfect
thanks

Excellent implementation of the idea behind this module. Once you try it, and see how well the translation works, get the PRO upgrade for the additional benefit of having those translated pages look as if they actually came from folders on your site. This is SEO traffic heaven. Seamless presentation of pages in 42 languages. The software developer replied promptly and courteously to requests for help.
I installed the module on a site with 4,500 distinct content pages. Beautiful. Now I have 4500x42=189,000 REAL pages! Even the ALT tags on images were translated, with absolutely no trace of Google having done the translation anywhere.
Immediately bought a second PRO copy for my other site, which has about 8,500 pages... you do the math.
Google rates you on breadth and depth of your site. This module is great, and the PRO addition is worth every penny! Thanks Edvard!

This is a graceful plugin. I appreciate the simplicity of its operation. One limitation is that users can not be logged in or write articles while in a translated page.
Thanks to Edvard for corresponding with me on this.

For me, right now, to get instant access to a language I do not know, this is an excellent choice that is not time consuming or difficult to install. While I imagine there are more accurate translation tools out there, I do not have time to sit and translate constantly, so this was a good solution for me right now. Thanks!
