18 Description
19 ===========
20
21 This plugin lets you select, on a per-user basis, the translator you want
22 to use. It defaults to None. It has different servers you can use, and
23 it lists their strengths and limits with each one. Also, there are
24 multiple servers just in case one changes their interface or goes down.
25
26 Since SquirrelMail is designed to have multiple translations of the text,
27 this plugin takes your preference and will use it for selecting what to
28 translate the text into.
