[Plugin: Global Translator] Trying to crawl/spider the blog to pre-translate: getting 503

  • I want to crawl/spider my blog to “pre-translate” all pages to the available languages, using Google Translate.

    The timeout/block in Global Translator Settings is the default 300 seconds. There are no other blogs on the same server/IP. I am using “wget” like this (options are: recursive, verbose and 5 seconds delay between requests:

    wget -r -v -w 5s “https://automagisk.no/blog/ja/”

    The server responds:

    503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

    When I test the same URL using Firefox in a normal way, the Japanese translation loads fine. No 503 or Google redirect.

    What am I missing? Is this a good way to “pre-translate” the posts? (I will of course use more than 5 second delay when I get this to work).

    Suggestions welcome! ??

    I am using the latest version of WordPress (2.7.1) and Global Translator 1.2.2.1. I have not blocked anything in robots.txt: https://automagisk.no/robots.txt

  • Hi
    the 503 error (which means “temporarily unavailable”) is correct and it is returned if you try to translate more that one page with a delay < 5 minutes. This is needed in order to prevent banning from Google.
