It looks to be about 75% of the site is translated, with some posts being translated along the way.

Either way, it is helpful because I emailed Google about this to find out how it affects Google Adsense and their reply was along the lines of "it is a good idea because we can index your site in another language which in turn can have an affect on Google Adsense."
.........Either way, the entire site translation works.

So that means that they can enable site translation and it is automatic, or do they still have to enable it per page? I thought it just translates the page, not the 'entire site'. I was working on something else but I will have to try these out.
Edit: Tried it and it works. Thanks. I see now that it opens a new window and if you stay in it the site gets translated during navigation. Awesome.

Also, having both the post and site translation would be a solution to compensate for untranslated posts in the page/site translation.

I have 14 languages available for translation, but the Greek characteers are not displaying correctly, but I think this is because I'm in the U.S. and the dominant language is English. Whereas, I'm sure the Greek characters would appear correctly if a country's dominant language is Greek or something similar to Greek.

Who knows, my theory could be wrong.

Don't you have to have Greek characters enabled to see it properly?

Other ideas would be creating a Language or Translate navbar drop down menu with icons and/or text. Some people might also prefer it in the header or footer. AJAX inline post translation would be nice too, as well as translating the page without a pop-up window. And of course a full product with settings features in admincp! Dream big I say.

Edit2: Cool, thanks guys. I got it working on my navbar, postbit, header and footer. I was trying to figure out a way to have it open in the same window/tab, but no luck so far. Any ideas?
