Add support for Baidu Translator
Baidu translator has improved a lot. Its en->zh translation is more superior than Google translator. Please consider adding support for Baidu. Thanks!
I second this idea. Baidu is a very powerful translation engine especially for zh<->en language pair.
PLEASE DO NOT ADD Baidu, Because Baidu will be recording and analyzing everything what you typed then send it to CHINA Government! This is a very bad idea that can be used to expose and locate democracy activists.

Totally agree.
@skyikot @vitojeng Are you leaving from Baidu? Otherwise, how do you know that Baidu would send such information to the CHINA Government?
There's really no point in getting political or starting a flame war. Baidu is a Chinese company that is legally obliged to hand over data to the government if requested. Meanwhile, I believe Yandex could do exactly the same for the Russian gov; Google has already been doing this kind of thing for the NSA of America since 2009. A fairly reasonable thing for all.
I'm not the person here to say "which one is evil" and "which one is good". The freedom of choice should be left to the end users themselves. For each translator that is (or is going to be) supported, you can always choose whether to use it or not, and whether to trust it for processing confidential information.
