Then you don't use a lot languages to translate between, just relative 
indoerupean languages and that is when google works as best, it suxx as 
soon as you have translation outside the indoeuropean group.

This actually more expensive than let the translator translate the 
complete text, as in your case you will pay for per translated word and 
the hourly fee, while whole text translation you generally just pay the 
per translated word fee.

The cheapest way to have translations are community translators, but you 
will have inconsequent quality on the translations.

I have worked with multi language sites and the best results you will 
have with a full translation where you add some context to the text you 
want to get translated. There is no shortcuts to make on translations.

Bad ideas will not get better for adding MacGyver as a reference, just 
makes things worse.



PS. As you don't use a proper client, delete message footers and adjust 
line length according standard manually.
