Translating plugins and themes into other languages apart from English is all the rage these days as WordPress usage booms across the globe. After all English is not even the most widely spoken language, so clearly we need to take care of the speakers of other languages and this will also help us plugin and theme developers make more sales for our products.
A very handy plugin to help you translate your plugins and themes is Loco Translate, which can be downloaded for free from the plugin repository.
The Loco Translate plugin provides in-browser editing of PO files used for localizing WordPress plugins and themes.

- Support for PO features including comments, references and plural forms
- Configurable PO file backups
- Built-in WordPress locale codes

Agree, best translation plugin ever!
I personally have been using polylang for a couple of month now, and seems simple enough, with an occasional hiccup that can be solve easily. Would give this a try and give my feedback in a couple of weeks.
This plugin is for translating other plugins and themes not site content. For site content my favourite is WPML
My bad, thanks. Awesome plugin!
