 Description   

This will allow users to export their website (or parts of it), import it to Google docs and have it automatically translated by Google. A great help to human translators who will not have to start from scratch (which can be a daunting task, especially for huge websites) and to share their work and have it versioned.
That should be a relatively easy one to implement, as I already gained some experience with Google Spreadsheet and its GoogleTranslate formula when working on our i18n effort for localizing Magnolia UI.

Federico - what I would be much more interested to see integrated is this: http://www.translated.net/en/translation-api

Comment by Federico Grilli [ 03/Jan/11 ]

That would be interesting too but it would require some effort as no one here is familiar with that service, whereas with Google docs we already have gained some experience and the mechanism the content translation module uses now (basically csv and xls) makes it rather easy to implement. But sure, integrating translated.net can be become a jira ticket for a future feature.
