I assume that it will increase my SE traffic from other countries as Google will index the site in the other languages as well.

Read around a bit but couldn't seem to find any solid information on this.

So have any of you installed this plugin on an established blog(s) and seen positive effect? Negative effects?

Any input would be appreciated.
it doesn't even work, like all the plugins based on Google translate services since Google took down the API. There's a translation plugin based in Bing that still works, only that it doesn't do automatic translations, but you have to request it (which is better for SEO). Don't remember the name though
