Notes:
- FLEX - good for local translation, not good tested by me. FLEX Plugin is deleted from repository.
- Multilingual - similar to Translation, a little buggy (problems with redirections, possible slow images rendering)
- Translation - in my opinion the best plugin for global translation
- Translation2 - not work for me
- Translation3 - my plugin, based on Translation (also have some features from Multilingual) is now merged back to Translation.
Known bugs
It isn't possible to install/use both translation and translation3.
