 * I got this error:
 * Unable to complete Global Translator initialization. Plese make writable and 
   readable the following directory:
 *  * /var/www/vhosts/xxx.com/httpdocs/wp-content
 * I don’t think it’s a good idea to make the whole wp-content file writable.
 * How to fix this error?

 * you dont have to to have set wp-content to 777
    just do a chmod 755 to wp-content&
   chmod 755 html or what ever you web dir is called
 * & i like to make my gt-cache 777 just to be sure the Translator is not going 
   to b-itch at me
    but you may not have the gt-cache in wp-content for the fact
   it cant make one

 * Thanks guys, my side got hacked. Someone scanned my side for writable folders,
   placed a php file in the gt-cache, uploaded an image with a virus in my media
   folder.
 * Never, never will I chmod a folder to 777.
 * So, question, how to use global translator with max chmod 755?
