[WordPress Plugin] Translator with Baidu Service -- a good alternative to GTranslate to avoid GFW problem
If some of your WordPress site's users are in mainland China, you may need a plugin to translate your site into Chinese. One of the most popular translating plugin is GTranslate which is based on the Google translating service. But the problem is people in mainland China can not access Google. As a result, GTranslate cannot work in mainland China, only if using the VPN -- it's not quiet possible for a potential visitor to buy a VPN account. Translator with Baidu Service is a similar plugin which is based on Baidu translating service. As Baidu is a big Chinese company, its translating service can be accessed from mainland China. Moreover, because Baidu deploys its servers all over the world, people can use its services wherever they are.
Baidu translating service is very good at translating different languages into Chinese. Currently Translator with Baidu Service supports 25 languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, Thai, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, German, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Polish, Bulgarian, Estonia, Danish, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Slovenia, Swedish, Hungarian, Vietnamese. And it supports 4 kinds of Chinese: Simplified Chinese, Cantonese, Classical Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

3. Add shortcode [baidu_translator] to where you want to put this plugin in HTML (for example: <?php echo do_shortcode('[baidu_translator]'); ?>). Or, add its widget to a page or post by clicking the 'Translator' button above the editor.
4. Save the configurations and refresh your site.
