Auto Translating Large Projects is buggy..

We have a project with ~2.000 strings to translate...

In the beginning I did not see any issues auto-translating all strings with Google Translate - but as I've added more and more languages, it starts to make my VS08 crach..

Of course, the preferable solution would be to make the app able to handle large amount of texts.
But right now, all I can see is a progress bar jumping 5-10 % at a time.. So it seems like it's kind of working a bulk of texts at a time?

Never mind - it would just be nice to know "what it is doing" - both to be able to see if craches in the same proces every time - and to be able to report to you where I think the issue is?

It's also taking up a lot of resources it seems like? shouldn't it be pretty lightweight to send text to google and wait for a response (and store it)?

For your info, I was only adding my 7th language when this error started.. I have restarted my VS twice now, and it's 80 % done as I write.. (also it takes a lot of time)

And when the translations are done from the web - it seems like it's creating all the ressource files afterwards (ASP.NET)..

This actually takes some time if you got a lot of files - and VS is "unexplained locked" while the tool is finishing.. Again, it would be nice to get some info of what is happening (or maybe a progress bar?).

FYI: I just finished adding 1 more language, and it "only" crached once this time.. yay :-)
