- Links appropriate for SEO consensus (configurable) - even without any SEO mod
- Long texts are translated no matter how big those are
- Not translated save areas - if you need something to be not translated simply edit appropriate template and put it between
<!--START vBET NOT TRANSLATED AREA--> and <!--END vBET NOT TRANSLATED AREA--> (note: you cannot use any mod which removes comments to use this functionality)
- Translation cache (after first Google translation results are cached and next page generation is much faster)
- Doesn't translate BB codes for code, php and html (must refresh post cache to see effect on existing posts Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Post Cache)

Answers:
What is required for this mod to work?
- You must install it and configure it appropriatelly (please read parameters descriptions carefully)
- You must have installed CURL in your php. Most servers already have it. Just install this mod and if it is not working then ask your server stuff to install CURL. In meantime you can disable mod or remove flags so users will not be affected. If you get blank page for translation pages (it will not affect your normal pages) it means that you don't have CURL installed - just install it
- You must have installed ICONV in your php. Most servers already have it. If not an error will occur or blank page for translations.

After translation I get blank page - what is wrong?
Just read answer for previous question

After translation all text disappear - what is wrong?
2 possibilities:
- You didn't fallow installation instructions. You MUST configure at least Forum language option. Just configure mod
- You set wrong Google API key - just set there appropriate value.

I have SEO translation links on, I use vBSEO and main page is not translating - what is wrong?
First, make sure that your .htaccess rules are OK - especially for forums with subdirectory in URL.

What to do, to have translations links good for SEO consensus?
You have to set appropriate option in Admin CP and change/create .htaccess file (NOTE: you can use SEO translation links even without vbSEO!)
for users without vbSEO
- If you don't have .htaccess file then use the one from do-not-upload directory in mod package - just upload it to your forum directory
- If you have .htaccess file, then add those lines there:
