The following Google Webmaster Central Blog entry suggests that you can manually correct translations by Google translate for your own website, which go live immediately and are also shown to your visitors: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2012/05/now-you-can-polish-up-googles.html
Unfortunately this feature seems to be not online anymore. Does anyone know a similar solution to achieve these results?
We want to translate a WordPress WooCommerce website with a lot of products from English to Chinese and therefore have to decide if we want to translate everything manually or use automatic translation via Google translate. Since the automatic Google translation is much quicker we prefer that way but we want to correct the many incorrect translated terms.
In case there is no way to make manual corrections to the Google Translations we also thought about downloading the translated version and re-importing it into WooCommerce again to make the edits there.
The feature looks like it's available at http://translate.google.com/manager/website/

I am using WPML to translate a religious website. I have the scripture stored in the database where each verse is a post. In WPML, translation is slow as one must open a verse, which is only one line long, translate it, save it and move on to the next.
I have tried automatic translation but they are not accurate enough and manual translation is too slow. I have also talked to WPML support but they don't have a solution.
Any suggestions welcome. Thank you :)
If the automatic translation is not good enough I think that you have three options:
Use professional translation service
Automatic translation but with different service, e.g. try DeepL of Google Translate if you were using Bing
Review text that was automatically translated
I wish to use the results of the Google translation that results from right clicking on a web page in Chrome, as opposed to using the API. These results I will use as part of a web language learning tool. I have read this page: https://cloud.google.com/translate/attribution about adding a logo, and have also read the HTML markup requirements at https://cloud.google.com/translate/markup.
My question is as these terms and conditions pages are referring to the API, do they also apply to using the translation results of using the Chrome menu item? I could use the API but this is much simpler for my temporary need.
Yes, when you're using the Google Translate Tool in a page by using the right-click, you can see that it send a request to the Google Translate API.
In definition, you have to add Google Attribution.
I guess for a personal website or non-commercial use it might not be that big of an issue but still, it will avoid future ones.
I'm working on have a property listing asp.NET website and the current search function is pretty crappy. I want to know if I can use the Google Custom Search API to extract the results but still present them in the same way there are now (comprehensive listing items with pricing, images, etc. Here's the current look: http://temporadaplus.com/Aluguel-Por-Temporada.aspx?pais=Brasil ). Each listing item is created via a .NET itemtype. SO basically all I need is to know how to go about using Google's much better results without altering anything visually.
I came across this question here but I am not sure its exactly what I;m looking for. Any ideas or comments are appreciated.
I am looking into migrating my site from Wordpress to Jekyll and would like to maintain the ability to have full-text search for the site. The Wordpress search was fast, reliable, and nicely formatted to match the theme, and I haven't found a decent replacement.
There's a plugin solution that uses indextank, but I am not interested in tying my search through a commercial API with users ranking the search items, I just want something comparable to Wordpress search.
I've also looked into the google Ajax api, but I don't want a floating ajax search box on the site.
There's always google's search for the website, but I haven't found this to be as reliable. (I haven't tried this since I moved to wordpress a few years ago, so perhaps I'm mistaken).
Since all posts are available in plain-text, it seems like it should not be to difficult to create an index for searching them when the site is built, but I have not found a good solution. Any suggestions or examples?
Jekyll + lunr.js = powerful full-text search, using JavaScript in your browser, for your Jekyll static website
One option to investigate Google Custom Search.
You mention trying to use Google in the past, but I'm not sure if you mean the custom search box as described here. Posting this in case it helps.

This requires no extra configuration. Just plug and play library that works on your jekyll blog's RSS feeds with neat on-page search UI.
I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.
