IN 2013 I had about 11,000 visits to my site per month. By 2017 it went to 100,000 plus visits to my site per month. I started to notice comments advertising prostitutes in various countries using languages other than English. So, I wasn't able to discern what was being said until Google Translate allowed me to know. At this point I cut off comments after I learned people were trying to advertise prostitutes through my site from other countries in languages other than English. I was sort of sad to do this but didn't want my site to be a whore house warehouse site in other languages. I'm not sure when I had to cut off comments exactly at this point because I don't know when I became conversant in using and accessing Google Translate.
It takes a little time to figure out how to make it go from one language to another and also you have to figure out what language it's in. Narrowing it down to Chinese, Korean and Japanese is pretty easy but other languages might be more difficult to discern what you are looking at if you are not familiar with them. For example, I speak French well but don't understand it well and my native language is of course English. So, I really don't know when I took Google Translate and was curious enough to run comments to my site through the translator.
I was interested to know about when Google Translate first started:
