Notes:

  • FLEX - good for local translation, not good tested by me. FLEX Plugin is deleted from repository.
  • Multilingual - similar to Translation, a little buggy (problems with redirections, possible slow images rendering)
  • Translation - in my opinion the best plugin for global translation
  • Translation2 - not work for me :-/
  • Translation3 - my plugin, based on Translation (also have some features from Multilingual) is now merged back to Translation.

Known bugs

It isn't possible to install/use both translation and translation3.
