Hi everybody,
I very much hope you are doing well
I have a website and a small budget. I would like to have this website available in as much languages as possible. So I used the google language toolbar. Original language of the site is English. The rest of the languages are translations, automatic translations.
I have the following question.
I use the languagebar and put another language, for example Spanish. Then I get the Spanish google translation. It is fine, but not perfect, not brilliant, even has some mistakes. Then I put the marker of the mouse on one sentence and I receive a message: Contribute a better translation. You can do clic in this message and are allowed to contribute a better translation. Then, I would like to fix this "better translation contributed" in my page, so that everybody when he choose Spanish, they received "my contributed" translation and "NOT" the Google one. I would like to have control of this. Do you think if it is possible? If yes, how should I do?

this is the limit of using a free online translator

Felipe,
When you click on that bar and enter in your feedback on the translation, it will only be considered as part of the overall pool of translation possibilities, and it might improve the translation of your page over time, but not immediately.
That is the difference between using a free online system versus using a paid customizable MT software/system that can quickly include your feedback as direct input into a rule-based MT system or as training input for the models of a statistical-based MT system.
Jeff
