Changed the header colour and module borders. It's now complete! I will spend the next few months adding more content and downloads. Feedback always appreciated.

- Nice. Just one thing: if it's a site for international tourism, throw away Google automatic translator. Just one month ago, to try its evolution, I asked it to translate "abiti da sposa" ("wedding dresses" in italian). Google automatic translation was "You live from bride" (abiti was interpreted as a voice of the verb "abitare" that means "live", instead of "dresses" or "clothes").

Looks very slick. I'd keep the translation module. It's not perfect, but it's (IMO) the best (convenient) solution out there. I use it as well. If anyone knows of something more effective, I'd love to hear about it!
Two suggestions for your site: first, in global config, turn off the "written by" and "date written" options. It looks much cleaner. Second, upload a custom favicon. -

It was a difficult decision to go with the Google translate. I decided to use it as I believe that whenever anyone translates a website they would allow for the errors as I would! I will look into a new favicom next week. I'm still not sure about the three modules at the bottom (blue, green and orange) as I feel they are not inkeeping with the template colours! Feedback?

Ok, but your site is called "Excel Solutions". If a visitor translates automatically your pages by himself from english, the shame is upon Google shoulders. If you incorporate it in your site, then you lower its value. This is my personal opinion, of course. When I read some web pages automatically translated in italian I jump soon to the english version: it's much easier to understand! From your home page:

Is the translation seriously bad? Would you understand what is written allowing for translation errors?
If not it looks like having to delete that extension and look for something more suitable although it was all I could find. Thank you for the demo.

The one in italian is really terrible, sorry.
At least for the company introduction you should use professional translators (I mean, human
).
The problem is that the extension you use is probably the best around...
P.S.: I'm really curious to know what you are watching in the picture you use as avatar...

If the Italian is bad then I'm pretty sure the Japanese etc will be! I installed Joomfish at one point but unless I'm wrong you still have to manually translate each page which is why I went with Google! While I'm finishing the template I'll look around or perhaps go back to the Joomfish although very difficult to set up.
Many thanks again

- JoomFish is very simple to install and use, the last version even easier, but of course it needs manual translations.
