Translation in process...

[kamaw]

Awesome. I just set this website all up (real small site with just about 6 pages or so). Two days later it still says translation in process. Is that normal? How long does this take?

Hi there,

I've just asked the same. My site has been up there for over 24hrs with no translations to date.

Am I missing the point here of the PRTranslator PRO, as I thought apart from providing better google ratings, it also provided translations to non-English speaking browsers to the site. If they click the button and get 'Translation in Progress - please come back later', in reality, they will just click the close or back button and leave it for good - without coming back?

The product appears very good but...

Got any answers to this question? Sure has got some of us confused!

Thanks!

Go back to your site in a month and check it. If it submits translation requests any faster than the way Marc and Dan had their programmers set it up then it will set off a red flag in Google for your site. Trust me, you don't want that to happen.

Recall the video you saw on the WP Translator that Marc and Dan sent in the email and on the WP Translator sales page. He had it tested over a period of months. Thats when he saw any real and significant results.

This is one of those, set it and forget it, type of benefit tools. Your translations are going to happen. Go to the WP Translator Options screen and look under Queue. You'll see typically a ton of sites in there all setup and waiting for the appropriate timing setup in the plugin to send it to the translation engines but that will take time.

Just to share my initial experiences with IM, when I first got started I checked my sites traffic stats everyday. Didn't help any. It's a lesson I learned over time.

Focus; keep setting up sites, keep article marketing, keep link exchanging etc.. Don't check your sites stats but once a month, if that.

SEO is slooooooooowwwww. It takes months, not weeks or much less days.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Guys,

I've tried to impress this but it seems everyone is in now now now mode.

This is a long term software, meaning that your entire site will be translated over time.

In one month's time your visitors will be able to hit a lot of your pages and get the translated version immediately.

If you want faster translations you will need to add more ip's to your account.

We are doing some tweaks that should make it 4 x faster and they will be out after I get the bug fixes sorted first.

If you were looking for a flyby, translate now and ban my site just as quick then you bought the wrong plugin and I will be more then happy to refund you.

I dont go for quickfix results so I would not provide anyone with a quick fix solution.

The last updated email (about 6 days ago now) had a video that showed you how to confirm that your translation tool is working as it should.

If the cache stats are increasing then so are your translated pages.

On my current site 70% of all requests on translated pages are delivered directly from the cache, the other 30% are new pages being translated.

I'd call that pretty good.

Regards
Marc

Ok. Thanks guys. I'm happy to wait, that's no problem at all. I just didn't understand that it would take a really long time to do. I don't care if it does take a long time, I just didn't realize it would, so thought there might be a problem, and if so, I wanted to fix it.

Thanks again for the clarification!
