Sayonara .. Google Translation

It’s been a while since the first time i used the Google translation service to automatically translate this blog into other language. But now .. after upgrading into Wordpress 2.1.3 RC-1 .. i find that the famous Global Translation plugin from Nothing2Hide is no longer worked as it should because it always want to automatically translate the blog base url using the Google translation tool

Other than that before upgrading into the Wordpress 2.1.3 the translation tool also did not work because it always gives me 403 forbidden error message from Google (yup .. google ban automatic use of their translation service via scripting, etc especially if you have lots of pages and are frequently accessed .. and Googlebot or other search engine bot access also counted)

But if you’re sure that you do not have a lot of pages on your site, then you do not have to worry about your server ip address getting banned from the Google Translation service because of it

As a side note, i also used the Google Automatic URL removal to remove the indexed translation page as soon as possible .. so there won’t be any visitors getting lots of 404 error messages when they came from search engine (but so far there’s no one came to this site from the translated address of this blog)

Now the only thing left for me is .. well .. fill the top bar previously used by the translation images into something else :D
