Deactivating the WWL Plugin

I am deactivating the World Wide Lexicon Plugin with immediate effect on APU!. This is being done to clear up my RSS feeds. Ever since I activated the plugin on my blog to enable translations into different languages, my RSS feeds have been mixed up with code coming from this plugin.
Actually the WWL plugin uses a hook to attach itself with the content of the post. Somehow this is not checked by the plugin whether it is being displayed on the website or is being seeded as an RSS feed.
After much deliberation and with the widespread availability of such tools as Google Translation and Altavista Babel Fish, I am removing the plugin to avoid discomfort to my readers who use Feed Readers to subscribe to my site.
Sorry, WWL project, I don’t understand why this issue was not fixed until now? I have to remove the plugin. I thank all for using the plugin on my site and apologies for removing it.

Hi! I personally don’t like these site translators and web-based translators because ost of them are based on google. I prefer using translation add-ons for browsers because they save a lot more time and effort, you know. The one I have been using for some time now is called Moztrans. It is supported for Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey and I haven’t had any problems with it.

you definitely right about the various translating plugins that are SO based on Google Translate! But, the plugin I deactivated from my blog is related to a community translation project. It let’s the user translate their favorite article into a language they are fluent in.
But, it was affecting my RSS feeds. So had to take it off!
Will try Moztrans for myself, though.
