Re: translation and wiki docs

[Sally Derrick <sjd1201 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

If approved content is translated, visitors would view and comment in their
appropriate language.  It seems that the plugin would be needed more on my
end to translate the comments from various languages to Eng. Have machine
language plugins improved enough lately that I could review and accurately
incorporate these comments?  I admit it has been years since I've even
thought about those but, at the time, a 10-foot pole was not long enough to
make the experience palatable. ;-)
