to dircp/wp plugin: google language translator NOTES rev 23 dec 2021 Category: language cp/wp: classicpress and wordpress webwalker: useful ....................................................... description: Adds widget or shortcode to pull translation from Google Translate.
Settings include: inline or vertical layout, show/hide specific languages, hide/show Google toolbar, and hide/show Google branding. Add the shortcode to pages, posts, and widgets. It's great! Can use shortcode or widget. widget is pretty but i don't like it cause it uses country flags. also like shortcode because i have more choice where to put it.

Privacy: Only sets two cookies indicating the languages to/from. Did a search and can't find anything about privacy. Does not seem to have any privacy issues, even though it's Evil-Google -- just sets two cookies to indicate the languages to/from. However if you are using Google Analytics, it does tie into that: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-google-analytics-2/ and then you are screwing your users. .........................
