What is Google Auto Translate and Why Do We Need It?
Most plugins for multilingual WordPress websites support automatic translation of site content provided by Google’s translation technology. This technology offers machine translation of website pages to other languages. Some translations come out better than the others, but usually you can get the idea of what the text is about. So no matter what information are you looking for, you can always read it in your native language. Moreover, the truth is that Google is one of the leading providers of artificial intelligence-assisted language translation and its translation technology is constantly improving. The bulk of the content gets translated better and better.
Provide your website users with the opportunity to read your site content in their own language! This will definitely attract more visitors!
