Split: Translate buttons

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
1. The client wants to set the default language of the page based on the site visitor's location and is concerned about the SEO impact.
2. The client is facing an issue where the language reverts to English when buttons are clicked, even after selecting a different language.
3. The client is dissatisfied with the quality of automatic translations and is seeking a better alternative.
Solution:
For the second problem, it seems that the links on your page are not translated, which is why the language changes back to English when buttons are clicked. These links do not appear in the translation editor by default; you need to search for them manually. We have provided a detailed guide on how to translate links using the Advanced Translation Editor:

karleK	1. Is it possible to set default language on page based on site visitor location? For example if visitor in Estonia, my automatic language setting is Estonian. How does it affect my SEO? 2. How do I get my buttons to work with chosen language? At the moment when I choose russian for example, page goes russian. As soon as I press something, goes back to English which is my main language. 3. Is any other translator better than the default translator? Automatic translations are absolutely terrible. Everything has to be overdone manually. I've done about 4 pages now in one language and there's a lot more to do. And there's 4 other languages..
