Still interrups creating a sitemap.
Set 10000 links per sitemap and delay execution to 60 seconds...

How long does it take to index the new sites? :)

well, Google is very gently, the spider will not stress your Server.
On my old Server Google read between 3000 an 40.000 Pages per Day.
Now on the new Server up to 75.200 Pages per Day even without translations in the sitemap.

Well, since a week none of the translated pages is indexed? Seems that Google is a little bit laizy :)

Hahaha :D

GoogleBot is not always gentle, that is only in the default setting where GoogleBot determines the crawl rate and you are lucky. If you set the crawl rate faster in your Webmaster Tools, to index faster, GoogleBot is very aggressive and GoogleBot can easily stress your server, depending on your configuration and number of users etc. If you have no or few users, then no problem. If you have thousands of users on line, the GoogleBot can slow performance significantly, especially with a high crawl rate, like 8 to 10 URLS per second.

Also, if your sitemap settings are incorrectly configured, GoogleBot will recrawl links it has already indexed; so you must set your sitemap setting so the URLs do not need to be recrawled. I recommend, for most forums, an expire time (Update Frequency) of NEVER, or at the least 1 year for posts and threads.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We have been running translations for nearly 5 months and use sitemaps for each language. Our sitemaps with around 15 languages is around 8,000,000 URLs. I have seen millions of URLs that were already indexed dumped when the sitemap setting were set to refresh in one month. This is a very bad :D It takes a long time to rebuild your index after Google dumps millions (or thousands) of indexed URLs.

You must use Google Webmaster tools.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend creating a sitemap for each major language, i.e. EN, JP, ES, DE, FR, PT. etc.

Moreover, you must run Google Analytics to see how each language performs. You can set a custom report for the translated languages and easily graph how the site performs.

In other words, you must have a solid management plan to optimize performance, which includes sitemap management, Webmaster tools, and Google analytics.

Cheers.

is it possible to add more languages to it?

for example:- we are a community based in south india
and our mother tongue is malayalam..

is there any way to add our language...?

if yes... ! How?

Thank youuuuuuuuuu

btw... astonishing workkk

i would be interested in adding this language too
i have afew india magicians on my site who would like this

Anchor tags break the translation!

It works with seo links like /es/

But not with "faq.phpfaq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_rating_threads ?language=es"

Just a simple question, i've installed this hack and translation is done OK.
What i don't see is the URL being translated (just like DEMO), since i use VBSEO.

If i choose option "Create URL's according to SEO link consensus (i.e. '/en/address')", i see an internal server error, if i choose "Add language parameter to URL (i.e. 'address?language=en')" everything runs fine, except URL translation.

Any way to solve this out?

Thank you

Awesome Addon!

I'm using the english, french and spanish translation (home language is german).
My problem is, I'm using my brand name in title and at the french language translate it.

Any idea how to fix that? Maybe a blacklist for words not to translate?

How to move the flags to the footer? Bottom of the forum.

Thanks
