It is now possible to display your website in almost any language simply by pasting a snippet of Google Translate code into your website or blog. Your website visitors select their language from the dropdown list in the Google Translate box and all text on the page they are looking at is translated immediately.
If you have a WordPress website, the translate tool translates everything on your site at once including navigation, sidebars and blog posts. Go to www.charter-tour-bus.co.nz to see how it in action.
If you have a standard html website, you need to translate each page as you get to it.
- Visit the Google Translate Tools homepage at http://translate.google.com/translate_tools?hl=en
- Copy the code in the box under step 2
- Login to your WordPress website
- Go to Design/Widgets
- Drag a text widget into the sidebar where you want the Translate Box to appear
- Paste the code and save
It’s that easy. In the case of a non-Wordpress site, you simply paste the code into each page where you want the translate box to appear using a website design programme.
About Jo Couchman
The script does work inside WordPress as you can see above. Try copying the script and pasting into a Notepad file first. Then copy from there and paste into a WordPress post (make sure you’re in html view) or into a text widget if you want it on the sidebar.
Sometimes if you paste code directly into WordPress, it changes slightly.
I tried to put the translation tool on my wordpress side, but it didn’t function, I think because of the javascript. How did to put the google-translation on your wordpressblog?
