I wonder if anyone has any idea what is happening here. I found that CPU use for my blog jumped tremendously. When the raw logs were checked it was found that there were requests for translations of the site into multiple languages at a frequency which is not plausible--up to hundreds of times per hour. Here is a small sample from the logs with these requests:
