Hello Dev,

There is no particular reason to choose Bing over Google other than the fact
that it was the protocol used by the AppFusions plugin and people were
relatively content with the translations.  I've added the Google translate
button to the header of the space.  It works just as well and takes up less
space.  It might be the better option for us.  Please let me know if you
have a preference.  Maybe the header is a better place for it after all.
Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Reed

Dear Reed Quinn. 

I've looked at the Bing Translate plugin on
https://community.icann.org/x/GQeuAg and it does work in translating the
wiki page. 

I think some whitespace between the plugin and the wiki menu needs to be
done at the minimum. See below




I'm also thinking that the translate plugin could be right-aligned so that
it would be closer to the wiki page title as shown below




but I'll appreciate other TTF members thoughts on this right-alignment.

Another question, another option for machine translation would be the Google
Translate widget. Was there a technical reason for not doing so?

Kind Regards,

Dev Anand
