    Hello. I have some questions.
    I have a site in Spanish. Where I talk about Linux, Seo, Programming.
    You think it would be good idea to translate some post to Englisht? Only the most popular.
    And if the answer is yes then recommend me to do this plugin?

    Google translation would be a general add-on to be used on any platforms for this purpose. You need to integrate the js code on your sites.

    Have a nice day,

    It's good if you can translate your post to english. That would be an additional factor to gain more visitors from other part of the world.

    I agree with Sandeep. Stick with plugins, not Google Translate.

    The best thing would be to hire a translator though.

    Yes, it will be better if you provide multi-languages, this is good for you to get more visitor from different country

    I will recommend you to translate it but your keywords should not be lost after changing it.

    Rather than using Google translator make you own translator in PHP or some other language with the help of a programmer. because every translation through google or some other site make your site value down.

    Firstly check where the keywords mostly searched of your website and then only focus on those countries where you can gain maximum traffic.

    if you are only promoting your site to spanish visitors and geo, then there is no need to translate. if you however want to target english speaking community, then multi-language translation will be needed.

    both english and spanish on the same site will not probably look good and may not make spanish speaking visitors happy. it wil be better to have different part of the site for different language.

    I recommend to get it translated by a person, software translations are all just bad.

    Why not have an option to have both the site in English and in Spanish? Where users can click whether they want the posts to be in Spanish or English. I saw a lot of international sites have a flag icon and if you click USA or UK, the site is in English.
