Thanks for understanding

Hi NLP-er,

I think you will find people OK with this regarding the free version. However, how do you intend to support people who paid for your software? I don't think they will be very understanding and your business could suffer dramatically by not supporting your customers who paid for your software.

And does it increase search engine hits like that mod does in the link, would like an honest answer if its better or worse in what ways.

Thanks.

Both of these mods operate on similar principles and technologies and both increase traffic in similar ways.

This mod is more actively supported, more in compliance with Google's TOS for using their API, has more features, is faster, more efficient and won MOTM.

This mod also has URL rewriting features built-in that permits you to remove the dynamic language query string and place it in the URL, which many people (include me) believe it is more SEO friendly.

On the other hand, a number of us also use the other mod because of it's simplicity, and we added the required code for Google's TOS (Google attribution, 15 day or less translation cache clearing, referral headers and optional Google API keys) and better SEO (URL rewrites using Apache mod_rewrite) ourselves because the developer of the other mod could not / would not support us. At one time the developer of the other mod was disappointed with the community and pulled his mod, leaving all of us, even those who donated to his generous work, completely abandoned. NLP-er came to our rescue, in a manner of speaking; and listened to the community and worked very hard to add all the features the community requested. That is one of the main reason's he has such strong support.

So, if you want support, features and are not a developer, and want to be in compliance with Google very clear API Terms and Conditions, I suggest you go with this mod. If you want something more lightweight, smaller footprint, less supported, and not compliant with Google's TOS out-of-the-box, then go with the other mod.

Cheers and Good Luck!
