    Have a serious question
    What are the Adsense ToS compliance with all translation scripts, because as far as i remember one selects his preference of ad language during sign up with adsense, so displaying ads in different language violate the ToS of adsense
    Any ideas...

    This is my traffic sources (UV's) in different languages in a day, the bounce rate on my website is pretty high due to non-english visitors hitting the back button


    English 12,855
    Dutch 322
    German 314
    Spanish 179
    French 104
    Polish 52
    Swedish 51
    Danish 45
    Portuguese 45
    Italian 35
    Norwegian 33
    Russian 31
    Finnish 30
    Greek 28
    Chinese 28
    Norwegian Bokmål 19
    Turkish 17
    Japanese 12
    Czech 9
    Slovenian 9
    Hebrew 8
    Korean 8
    Hungarian 8
    Arabic 6
    Lithuanian 5
    Romanian 4
    Bulgarian 4
    Slovak 3
    Vietnamese 2
    Indonesian 2
    Thai 1
    Latvian 1
    Estonian 1
    Serbian 1

    Due languages being different and bounce rate being high, my CPM goes down heavily and affects the quality of clicks

    I am looking at a translation script here http://www.websitestranslator.com/ even though they says it is adsense ToS compliant, i have my doubts on it

    Any help will be appreciated:p

    Yeah, i found the answer for my above question about adsense displaying on translated pages, it seems google is quite straightforward and says if they support adsense on those languages (i.e., if the language is an option available for signing up on adsense) then you can display translated pages in those language and display ads on it, even if that language appears to be not your primary adsense language, however displaying on other languages not supported by adsense can get you banned. Below is the actual answer by Google Adsense:
    Hope this clears some doubts

    Yes, that's what I was about to answer you. Only thing left is the bit about not displaying adsense on pages made for the purpose of displaying ads. But that bit could apply for so many pages, english or not, I don't think it is enforced anywhere.

    Well you cannot exactly say that if i generate a page in a different language, then that page becomes MFA, it is for a much better user experience to my visitors and of course monetizing it is what adsense is for
