This is supported only in full version. Here you can find main differences between full and free version: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...or-3-x-4x.html

And here detailed informations about features differences: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...-features.html

Well I gave it a good try but my host complained about the huge overload to the servers and kept shutting down my site. It did increase my traffic but Ill have to hold off until I have a dedicated server.

[bosken]

My page is suddenly blank in other languages. Did work until some days ago. Not all and not every time.

[8thos]

A couple months later.

This modification made no difference in traffic and my members complained that it was translating their posts unnecessarily. Basically, this mod is only good if you have a lot of foreign language speakers on your site who don't like to speak English. That is all it's good for. With that said, I'm deactivating it for now due to all the complaints. I should've stuck with the free version but you hyped this up so much I was sold. You're a good salesmen I can say that much.

Google api v1 will be closed by 1 December 2011, therefore free versions of vBET - 2.3.x/2.4.x will stop working after this time

Right now google api v1 sets its new, more strict, limits, so if You see blank page, there are some translations missing, You have probably reached your requests/translation limits.

Furtheremore it is not vBET bug/error, if you face this problem please read this :FAQ


Full version of vBET supports Google API v2(paid) and till march free translations provided by Microsoft translation API !


For anu questions, please visit our site: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.com


@bosken: please read, and please note that this problem can be avoided by upgrade your vBET to latest full version

According to the google website

officially deprecated on May 26, 2011; it will be shut off completely on December 1, 2011
http://code.google.com/apis/language...reference.html

The courtesy limit for existing Translate API v2 projects created prior to August 24, 2011 will be reduced to zero on Dec 1, 2011. In addition, the number of requests your application can make per http://code.google.com/apis/language...tarted.htmlday will be limited. For website translations,

Its basically a case of uninstalling the mod unless you intend to pay google $20 per 2m characters being translated with the paid version of this

I dread to think what the resulting google penalty will be with all the 404's you get until all pages are deindexed

[bosken]

DAMN! Payed V2 API from Googe! EXPENSIVE!

WARNING and BEWARE.

Installed the payed Google API V2 code last night (swedish time), not even 18hours ago and Google already billed me $25 for translation of my forum!

Had to close it down or it will ruin my economy real fast!

My forum is quiet new and not that big, have around 15.000 posts. I only have like 12 languages support.

This is crazy. Hoping we will come up with a solution when they close V1.

[Scalemotorcars]

@bosken I checked out your site with the Microsoft translation but it doesn't seem to work. It only translates the one page and doesn't carry over to any linked pages.

And dont turn your back on Google. You got off luck with only $25.

Update, in fact every page behind your forums homepage is void of text. Nothing but graphics.

[1F42]

I have uninstalled it anyway as it was making too many msql querries on my site but i am going to try the google web translate

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en',
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIM PLE
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

I had high hopes of having this plugin working for my forums however a number of issues:

1.) Plugin required code manipulation of vbseo, thats not a fix and its not integration, the code manipulation could rick the reliablity of VBSeo, as I cannot get vbseo to state the changes are approved
2.) Propose I basically disable 20 -30 plugins which all work perfect together, if you introduce a plugin that causes other to break.........20 - 30 to 1 is the math, its your plugins issue

Because it causes major plugins and functions to fail, I requested a refund, was told no, and that Im denying their support, only stipulation I put is no code or option manipulation of third part plugins, and they didnt agree

I dont want a forum that when upgrades for plugins come out I need to go through 100s of pages of code to make changes, period

I run all dragonbyte plugins currently, all work perfect, I use the advanced voice tool, photopost pro, vbtube etc etc etc none of those causing me any problem.
