translating this site to other languages

I am open to people from the U.S. or other countries translating this complete site to other languages and republishing it in their own blog form or more likely copying specific articles or groups of articles to other languages and republishing them at your own blog. However, at that point it is your responsibility and on you because once you translate it it becomes your blog in this way. Also, it might be important to read the English from here and then wherever necessary clarify what is said because as we all know translations are often only 70% clear in what is translated and even less if it is in the nature of philosophy, religion, spirituality or love or other such more esoteric subjects. But, if you think it might be helpful to people who speak your native language or one of the languages you speak then maybe doing this might be useful to native speakers of other languages other than English.

The easiest way to do this would be to take the page you want to translate and then click on (in the upper right hand corner of my site the Google Translate button and find (one of around 65 or so languages) you want to translate that page into: For example, this is what my page looks like
translated into French:

Si vous exécutez votre blog comme à but non lucratif

Si vous exécutez votre blog comme un but non lucratif vous ne faites rien, ajoute, obtenir aucun profit financier profit (même si il est très bon karma pour ce faire) et ainsi prouver que vous existez seulement comme un service public comme beaucoup d'efforts bénévoles font. Cela vous permet plus de liberté pour partager des choses qui peuvent aider à sauver le monde et toute vie dans de multiples façons. Si les gens partagent vos intérêts et de la nature sincère à découvrir la vérité autant que possible dans une situation donnée, plus de gens profitent partout par vos recherches et cela aide le monde en général soit un meilleur endroit en cours.

If you speak French and English well you will notice that it is not a perfect translation. But from seeing this you get the idea that you can get a Google Translate Robot translation of this whole site in this way.
The way I published this here like this was to go up to the edit function in my Firefox near the upper left of my screen and click on it. Then when the window dropped down I clicked on Copy after holding my left click while I dragged my cursor over the whole page so I could copy it. Then I went to a different firefox window and clicked within the blank page where I was going to write. Then I clicked on "Paste" and magically whatever I had coped appeared on the new page. In this way you could make a translation of my site or parts of my site into literally any language you want. 
However, once you have done that it is all on you because it is no longer my content because you have modified it by translating it into another language. I can only be responsible for what I put online in English because only then can I be sure it is clearly defined in English to the best of my ability. So, if you do this be sure to clarify what you are sharing in another language at least by telling people (your readers) it cannot be a perfect translation likely more than about 70%. But if you are clarifying it in that language be sure to say you are trying to make it more clear and readable. Good Luck!

Note: I realized this would be a Herculean effort unless it is just one page or one article or a group of articles on a single page. Because even though the translator will translate any ONE page even if you click on say a French translation word button the article still comes up in English from that French word button. So, it would be incredibly time consuming to do this unless it is just one page at a time that you are translating for specific pages or articles. So, if you are inspired I guess it is up to you. end note.

2nd note: I guess the translator button can only be in one place on any page. Somehow the button moved into this article for this one article. But if you click on any other article it moves back up to the upper right hand corner like before. end 2nd note.
