Well, the mod is mostly designed for search engine referrals, not quality translations. In fact, Google Translate translations are known to be of poor quality for many languages. For our site, even basic English-Japanese translations are mostly humor for Japanese native speakers.

What would be more useful, based on user experience with this great mod, would be to support other translation services in the future because Google Translate is quite bad, frankly speaking.

In addition, there must be a way to tell the mod which text *not* to translate because translating source code, etc. is not good.......

In other words, this is a great mod, for what is was designed to do, improved SE referrals. It is not yet a high quality translation service because that was not the design goal.

Cheers.
