Goku: ehe

Goku: Whats up with this lag?
Me: ...

Find a spanish talking dude who explains the purpose of your plugin.
Or have a translated message on connect explaining it.

Suggestion #1: I am still worried about any lag issues from this. You know concers :p. What happens when the server sends a sentence to Google and waits for a reply? Is it possible that this delay can cause lag? Maybe add a debug option to see how long time it takes for the message to be sent and come back translated.

Suggestion #2: Add an option for admins to enable or disable it with an amx_ command.
Maybe even a cvar to only show admins translations.

Suggestion #3: The plugin could actually be educational if you also could see the original sentence + the translation. Maybe we pick up a word or two from a foreign language and actually learn something useful while gaming . But could be spammy.
