Building a Joomla 2.5 or Joomla 3.x multilingual site can be tricky, we encountered difficulties while trying to setup multi-language demo site to demonstrate our RTL language layouts for our latest templates. We developed a internal tool to overcome the problems we faced and we thought why not add more options and release the extension as FREE for the benefit of the Joomla! community.

With this free extension, one can setup multi-lingual site using Bing translator or Google translate (new) and then easily update translated content manually. We have tried to keep it simple, more features will be added based on user feedback :
