What is wikitranslator?
A tool that automatically translates common words, phrases and whole sentences in articles. This is especially useful for huge content updates with many page that can be translated much faster.
Aren't automated translations "strictly prohibited"?
This rule does only apply on services like Google Translate which translate a text word for word; this script adds previously translated sentences to the text. Oh, and it's allowed anyway.
