Default Flags and translations

FLAG and translations

If you click on the flag above ( in the header ) all the text will be translated automatically in the language corresponding to the flag. Please give some feedback on this feature. I might eliminate some languages to save on resources.
What do you think ?

PS The translations will be very slow at first since we have to wait that Google API sends back the translation, after the first time however translations will be cashed and things will speed up.

well, I just have a question, while posting the language doesn't have to be proper I mean I can write hikjlnfkfbnhdsrtbjhfcdy (which doesn't mean anything by the way ), how can that be translated or does this feature exclude posts and only translates the actual site only???

The feature translates from English into the selected flag language - It only translated what it can and it is only an approximate translation -
All you have to do is open a post ... This one would work and click on your language flag ( if it is there ) and see what the results are.

I just tried clicked on the Italian flag on this post and the translation was much better than I expected.

RUSSIAN NOURAN UOMO DEL NILO etc - if you read this can you test it ?

Davvero carina come feature, ma per tradurre cosa usa? Lo stesso sistema dei vari translator online?
Perché non sono affatto precisi e potrebbero far capire cose diverse da quello che intendeva l'autore del post.
Try to translate the above in English let's see how it works!

The translator only translate from English into a destination language that correspond to the flag. It uses Google API translation service so it is inaccurate like all translators but it might give an idea of what this posts mean in Italian.

Oh, I understand. Well I hoped it would also translate into English, to help our friends who don't speak Italian well to understand what we say in Italiano section.
