Hi Ben
I have question similar to Mike.Hayes'.
I've launched a copy of my website in another country, and all
editorial content have been translated by humans.
However, our site features an option to submit a review of businesses
that we have in our database. We have a lot of these reviews, and most
of them include a personal story, submitted by the user. We haven't
translated these stories, as they are submitted by the community and
arrive in a steady flow. The reviewed businesses attract customers in
both countries, so users in the new country have an interest in at
least understanding what other users have written about a certain
business. A machine translation for these submittes stories seem like
the perfect solution, and Google's API is the obvious choice, but then
there's an issue....
Since the API is javascript based, the content will not be indexable
by search engines, which is a shame, because it would be relevant to
have these pages indexed, as they contain relevant information for
searches on these businesses. Also, non-javascript users are excluded
from the party.
So the first solution that comes to mind is to pre-translate the whole
thing and store it in our database. I presumed this wasn't allowed,
and reading this discussion I got that confirmed. Storing it in a
database would also have the downside that regular improvements in the
translation algorithms wouldn't be utilised.
So I'm left with 2 ideas that I would like your thoughts on before
trying them. Last thing I want to do is to make Google angry ;):

Sadly, this post was 10 years ago. I don't have the code anymore.

Script to be called every hour: http://www.paste-it.net/public/ce732df/
Translate() function: http://www.paste-it.net/public/kc0df29/
I hope someone can use it. I've used it to translate about 700 texts
of varying length, so I know it works. Feel free to use it as you
wish..
An example of the finished result can be seen here:
