Translator Plugin Pro 5.0 has been fully tested and ready for release. The final step before the release is completing the documentation. Translator 5.0 is focussed on providing enterprise grade robustness and automatic recovery capability in case of failures. The product has been re-designed and tons of new features have been added. Some of the key new features are: 1. New robust, low resource consuming ultra-fast caching engine. It incorporates advanced second generation caching algorithms (forget wp-cache) to reduce the load on your site and translation engines, thereby increasing availability and speed of serving translated pages. 2. Statistics on translated page views and cache performance 3. API to exclude sections from translated pages and also to include content only in translated pages based on popular demand 4. Advanced load distribution feature to prevent overloading translation engines which ensures significantly better availability on high load sites 5. New languages & new translation engine 6. Robust handling of errors from translation engines 7. Protects your site from overloading by robots and automated user agents 8. Failover support; when a translation engine fails to translate, new engine is automatically given the task. It continues till we can provide a translation or we run out of translation engines. 9. Simplified user interface. The options panel has been broken into basic and advanced tabs. Each tab has been sub-categorized into different groups of options. The overall look is much nicer and easier to use and configure.

I got a ping from Google India's R&D department. They are looking for leadership role and were apparently quite impressed with my online resume; which hasn't been updated for about 5 years or more. I politely refused as I am very happy where I am, developing new products and services. So unless someone comes up with a real drop-dead offer and then some, I am not available. Also after starting my own business, it will be very hard to work for someone else, even with a drop-dead offer; I really enjoy the freedom of thought and enterprise that comes with entrepreneurship. Furthermore I am unable to leave Kolkata for extended periods at this time due to family reasons.
