## Description

Bens Translator is a plugin for WordPress that generates translated pages using 
Google Translator.
 The pages are cached by your webserver and displayed as a normal
webpage. This allows indexing by Google and other search engines to boost your traffic.

### Features

Search Engine Optimized: it uses the permalinks by adding the language code at the
beginning of all your URI.
 For example the english version on www.domain.com/mycategory/
mypost will be automatically transformed in www.domain.com/de/mycategory/mypost

Fast Caching System: new fast, smart, optimized, self-cleaning and built-in caching
system.
 Drastically reduction of the risk of temporarily ban from translation engines.

Fully configurable layout: you can easily customize the appearance of the translation
bar by choosing between a TABLE or DIV based layout for the flags bar.
 You can 
also select the number of translations to make available to your visitors.

No database modifications: Bens Translator is not intrusive.
 It doesn’t create 
or alter any table on your database, this feature permits to obtain better performance
by not running extra database queries.
