Quick "Translate This Page" Link

[RWerksman]

This modification adds a drop down box in the lower right corner of each page directly under the Forum Jump Box that is currently there. When a user selects an option from this box, they'll be forwarded on to a Google translation of the page at hand.

Please note that when viewing the translated version of this page, the user will not be logged in.

In the forumjump template, look for:

<br /><br />

and

</div>

Place the following code between the two entires:

Make sure that you change the YOURSITE.COM to the correct domain name.

Save.

Enjoy.

Whenever I translate the site, it automatically logs me out of the site and says that the admin must add the URL to the whitelist. Can you fix this issue?

[RWerksman]

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings

Add translate.google.com to the Post Referrer Whitelist.

Save.

[rcwild]

Cool.

Our site gets visitors from around the world, so the translation will add convenience. Would be even nicer if it was more obvious to users. Would be awesome if it was near the top of the page and included country flags to indicate languages, with image linked to the correct translation.

Yes the flags could be a nice addition!

I have no plans to include flags as they represent countries, not languages.

I currently don't have vBSEO installed, is there somewhere that I can see this not working on your site?

[iogames]

Well after a few hours I've improved mine alot!

even I put flags :D

Warden,

I'd put it in right above the </div> and after the form end. You might need to plop a line break or two in there for it to look right.

[RWerksman]

install
Click the install button please - don't just post it in the notes. :)

sleeping ;), done now.

THANKS VERY MUCH!!!

Still logs me out even after adding this link to the Post Referrer Whitelist.

[ginnser]

I see from the Google Translate site that Chinese translation is supported, how do i amend the code to have English to Chinese (Simp and Trad) ?

Also would like to move the translate button from the Jump page, to somewhere higher up the page, can anyone sugguest a suitable location and the code !

Much appreicated

[fishhub]

Still logs me out even after adding this link to the Post Referrer Whitelist.

I get this too! any kind soul can sort this.:o

[RWerksman]

Adding to the post referrer whitelist doesn't prevent you from being logged out, it enables the translation to function without the the error message.

In any case, you can click on the back button and continue to be logged in.

[RWerksman]

You might want to try placing it in the footer perhaps.

For English to Chinese (Simp & Trad) you can add these two lines:

<option value="en|zh-CN">English to Chinese Simplified</option>
<option value="en|zh-TW">English to Chinese Traditional</option>

[CareyG]

I keep getting this error.

The requested URL /scriptpath was not found on this server.

[CareyG]

and this..

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[CareyG]

Can anyone help me out with this? Please?

[RWerksman]

Did you follow the directions? Check the following line:


<input type="hidden" name="u" value="http://YOURSITE.COM/$scriptpath" />


Make sure that your website is in there correctly. It probably isn't.

[CareyG]

I have my website in correctly, I keep trying different ways and still nothing. Which one am I supposed to be using?

http://www.mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com/forum
http://mysite.com
http://mysite.com/forum


I have tried them all and it still wont work.

And I get this error as well.

Apache/1.3.39 Server at streakgaming.com Port 80

[ginnser]

Thanks for the Chinese bit

One question, I woul like to put the Translate option higher up the page, near the top so that people can see it without scrolling down, how do i do that?

Much appreciated

[Brady1505]

Sorry, does not anybody has an answer to this question?
I also entered my domain correctly, but I get a "page not found" when Google tries to translate it.
How do I have to replace it correctly?
Wheather
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="http://www.mysite.de/forum/$scriptpath" />
nor
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="http://www.mysite.de/$scriptpath" /> work.
Think, the first has to work ...
Does the script not know the variable $scriptpath?

Thanks.
Brady

[Brady1505]

Got it. Try and error ...

<input type="hidden" name="u" value="www.mysite.de$scriptpath" />

works correctly.

Wow,
I have built it some days before and found this thread today. :)

Now, If you want to remove the frame above your translated page, replace this link: http://translate.google.com/translate by http://www.google.com/translate_p.

To apply for all website (php site), you can use this link http://$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]$scriptpath:
EX:
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="http://$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]$scriptpath" />
replace for <input type="hidden" name="u" value="http://YOURSITE.COM/$scriptpath" />


demo: http://www.ue-global.com (the translation at the top of the page)

[frankybme]

Do these translated pages get indexed in the search engines?

[yotsume]

Will this work if my forum is only viewable to registered members only? Also, my forum is v3.7.3

Slick language selector you have on your website. It changes all the text without reloading the whole webpage, and allows users to re-select English easily. May I ask how you do that?

I altered this mod as you directed and yes the framing is gone now. But I wonder how to allow a user to choose English again after browsing some languages, as Google shows an error page stating that English-to-English translations are not supported. With the framing the users had an option for reverting back to the original language.

[segwayon]

Yes, as this translation feature is on your forum, and if non-members can't reach your forum then they won't be able to reach this feature either.

Now, if you allow non-members to view the forum but only want to provide this translation feature to registered members, then place these lines of code around this mod's whole section of code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
(this mod's code)
</if>

We use this mod on 3.7.3 without any problems, by the way.

[wraggster]

this looks fantastic but is the mod the same one thats on the forum now

http://f800riders.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=67

because that mod looks a lot better than what the code implies.

im also curious to know if this bring visitors from other regions of world ?

You must have added to this mod. There's drop-down at the top left of the page as well as one to the right of the forum style chooser.

What's the code for the mod as it shows on your forum?

[DieselMinded]

is this available for vb 4 ?
