I have purchased the Pro version but I liked the free on the fly version so much I used that until Google stopped that service.
Now looking at using my Pro license, a few questions which I cannot find in the FAQ, or forums.
Caching
Can I use W3 cache with GTranslate Pro in Wordpress? (I see that your site has no caching)
If yes does that re-cache all the language files?
Do I understand correctly that using say 10 languages would result in 10 extra cached posts every time.
So if the blog had say 100 posts that is 1000 pages?
Does W3 Cache then cache and create additional cache files for all 1000 pages meaning 2000 pages required to support a 100 post blog?
If I refresh the W3 Cache will that try to rebuild the translation pages?
Will modifications to a translation trigger the cache to rebuild automatically?
I guess cache rebuilds even if translation is not done again might take a long time?
Maybe a limit of 5 languages is more reasonable, what do you think?
Any website examples of someone with a lot of pages using Caching/Wordpress and GTranslate Pro?
Wordpress Directory Structure
Can I have the main english branch identical to the existing site i.e. without using an /en/ extension.
I see that on this site it displays the /en/ branch for a second then the screen flashes and the main branch is displayed in the browser window. Anyway to avoid this flashing effect and the obvious redirection?
For SEO purposes I want anyone who ever comes to the site including return visitors go though the English root home page before choosing their language. That is I don't want the system to remember their selection after they have left. Is this possible to do?
I would like to see a lot more examples of websites using GTranslate Pro, most of the ones I have seen so far don't have many pages and look quite simple.
Human Translations for Wordpress Posts
If I wanted to intially use the automatic translation and then later update some languages with human translations, how does that work in Wordpress?
e.g. Are the translated pages shown as new posts?
e.g. How would human translations of menu items be included in the translated page?
How does the cart idea work, any videos or demos?
Does the cart interface to a group of human tranalators?
If so what is the average cost per page for say English->French?
Thanks
Matt
