Is anyone using The Global Translator Plug in?

    Has anyone who is using any of the Translator plug ins, seen any weird or suspect traffic patterns?
    I was just wondering if your site is found through a translated page on the SE's does it show up on your stats as a visitor, or a page view?

    My stats are wacky, and my tech guy swears it's the translator.
    Any experiences using these type of plugins?

    I'm using it but haven't seen any problems.

    The URLs showing up in my stats is the URL for the Google translated page but viewing a post and translating it gives my normal URL after going through a redirect.

    On your stats, do your translated page visitors, show as Uniques, or Page Views?
    that's where my problem seems to be , deciphering the difference.

    To be honest I havent really looked into it much. I use FireStats which shows the full Google translated URL as a referral.

    I haven't looked at any other stats just yet.
