   2
   3 If you have ever received a mail message from someone who is not in
   4 your country, you probably noticed that they used a different language
   5 than you. If you don't know their language, a translator might help you
   6 out.

  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.
