Hey 'frustrated'
Here is the link to the one that we use on our site called Angsuman's Translater Plugin. It cost $30 and can be used on a variety of platforms in cluding Word Press (which is what I use).

After you contact him and pay him you will receive some time the next day or two a URL link custom for your site.
How well does it work? I don't speak any foreign language myself except for French and the French translation seems pretty good, n'est pas?
I have been on other forums where I was introduced to this one and they like it.
A few things:
- you want it to translate individual articles (various reasons for this which I can elaborate on later if you wish) so ensure you are on the URL for the individual article before you use the translation flags
- it's greatest asset is that much (not all) of the time the translated pages remain in your server's chache, so it takes much less time the next time a visitor wants to see your page translated in that same language
- it does not translate 100% of the time the entire page. I've asked about this several times from the author without success. I beleive that if the article / posting is too long (say more than 3 to 4 screen views) then it will only translate the columns and not the actual article
- Yes, I have seen, gradually, my # of visitors increase by 20% or so in the past few months of using this which is cool
- my current (and potential) advertisers seem to like that there is more potential reach from advertising on my site due to the multiple languages
If you want to see it in live action, yes you can see it on my web site. And, I won't even tell you how to get the page to be in different languages. I'll let you see if you can figure that out for your self to see how your site's visitor's would figure it out. (but if you can't just ping me and I'll tell you)
