How to Make the Global Translator Plug-in compatible with Adsense?
The Global Translator Plug-in makes your blog reach more people as it automatically translates your blog to other languages. However, be vary of using the Global Translator plug-in especially when using Google Adsense.
The Global Translator Plug-in can translate your blog into 34 languages (if you are using Google Translation service). In terms of getting your pages indexed in Google, that would mean, all your current pages can be seen in 35 languages (English or default language included). That would be a lot of pages and the more pages you have in Google, the better they always say.
However, I would like to warn you about this clause in the Google Adsense Policy. Based on the question, “What languages does Adsense support?” It is stated that,
Please also be aware that placing the AdSense code on pages with content primarily in an unsupported language is not permitted by the Adsense Program Policies
With this new info, I was shocked and was afraid of defying Google once again, so I cross checked the list and filtered out the languages that Adsense supports. Then I disabled the languages that adsense does not support.
Based on that, here is a list of the languages that Adsense supports and what I suggest you leave in your Global Translator Plug-in (disable the other languages).
Arabic
Bulgarian
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Croat
Czech
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hebrew
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese
Russian
Serbian
Slovak
Spanish
Swedish
I’m not really sure what happens but I’m just being paranoid after getting my pagerank back. ^_^

I didn’t know they had a global translator plug-in. Have to look into it. Thanks for the tip, Allen. And I hope you get a lot of Greeks and Croats and Serbians visiting your site. You’ll be needing a translator to understand what they’re syaing.

The translator plugin is really cool but we really must be alert on the terms and conditions attached to everything. Like what happened to one of my accounts in Digg. I was just using that account to give favors to my friends from other websites. They send shouts and I’d comply by digging their stories. I was not much of a ‘digger’ but one day my account was banned. I asked Digg what’s wrong but all I got were automated answers. My messages, which I composed carefully and differently from each other, were not even read by a human being. What did I do? I abandoned Digg. I won’t waste my time on such a pesky website. Sorry for leaving such a long comment here. Many thanks.

@Thompson Outdoor Supply, Thanks for the experience. I also got banned in StumbleUpon. But, it is just easy to create another free account right? So I hope you did since social bookmarking sites are really helpful.

I got to know that when you have the google translater, it’s messes up with search engine ranking and PR, are you having any problems with this or it’s fine. I wanted to use this but not to sure yet.

Hi, Hmm so far, it gives me more indexed pages due to the same page being indexed in many languages… no problems with PR and rankings though. ^_^

Is there any update on any languages that adsense support? Just now I read on other blog comment about ROMANIAN actually was ads supported. Is it true?
