unauthorized site ->translate.googleusercontent.comI just authorized the adsense account but it appears like that a few hours later. Is it dangerous if I authorize this site in my account?
In My Opinion it’s safe to authorize translate.googleusercontent.com. I am not aware of any script injection or other vulnerabilities in the genuine google translate sites.
However, Google translate also users regional sites e.g. translate.googleusercontent.in and translate.googleusercontent.dk among many others. Each will need authorizing if regular traffic is seen from these sub-domains. Also, it’s always a good idea to check the site is a genuine Google site (use reverse Ip/Domain lookup tools like whois.domaintools.com
Another thing you could do is embed Google Translate “on the fly translation” in your site. For WordPress GTranlate information see this article
