Known Bugs ?
I didn't found some Bugs. Sometimes the translated Text doesn't appears, but if I marked a shorter Text, it works.

Used Queries ?
None

P.S. deutschen Support gibt es auch bei your-vb

thanj"s nice joop

how to make it in controle panel for users
?

dos this translate words or the page?

Is it working in 3.6

What is TMS ?

It will translate marked text.

Not tested, but I think so.
TMS = Template Modification System
You can changing Tempaltes by the Product. The original templates will not changed - a plug in will do it

Why do you want it in ControlPanel ? Ther's no reason for it.

Wow! Awesome! TMS support, 23 languages, no queries. Me thinks you are a coding God. :D

clicks installed

i was thinking it is like translate service from google as box and then i out any text and then click translate to any language

so it will be as link in user cp and the user click the link and then the another page show as like transalte page but only for users not for registered
this is as tool for them

but your script is in different way

Great JOB man!
Dont need it tho, but still want to say it is workin fine on 3.7.3, too. :)

cheers

I'm definitely going to look into adding this mod. I'm just waiting to remove a mod or two so that I don't go over my self-imposed mod limit :D

:: tagged ::

Ive imported the product but it doesnt work. :(

What have you done ?
TemplateEdits or TMS ?
Uploaded the file(s) ?

hi,
i installed this, however the text does not get translated.

When I highlight the text the translation box appears, but after selecting the language and pressing "go" it just shows a tab saying "close window"...any idea why?

One thing that comes to mind is that I did not do anything with the included language files...do i have to do something with those too? if yes then please guide me thanks

aku

Edit: N/M. I see it now. Thanks. Installed.

its a nice hack ,,, but if it works without the right or left click it will be better

like if you can make it with an option to work by another way ,,

thanks

isn't this hack supported anymore?

for me it just shows the window! No text. Even if I choose only one word.

Works perfectly for me, thank you. (manual install , 3.7)

Thank you for the nice mod..
Because the font color inside the box is the same as the background color :p
Can some one help telling us how to change the font color inside the box :)

I am having a similar problem: My popup box background color is the same as my forum page and because of this, the text cannot be easily seen. I wish I could change the background color. I cannot install this mod until I get some help with changing the font color and background color.

Another thing that would be helpful is that if the popup could be made to locate itself to the center of the page instead of whereever the highlighted text might appear. This request is because if one highlights some text near the far right edge of the screen, the popup is half off the page and can not be dragged into view or seen - rendering it useless.

This mod has potential, but until it is developed a bit more it is hard to use. Thanks for working on this. I hope you or someone with programing knowledge can fix the bugs.

Thanks,
kether

It has been awhile - anyone ? (Bump)

how this work?

Anyone?
Thanks! K

Nice addon

Could it be possible to let user choose if they want this enabled or not?
I only have a few foreign members and this would be very helpful for them, but the other members will get pissed off by getting that everytime they mark something...

This should come in a later version - but this time, I'm too busy.

Ok, perfect, I just wanted to know if that could be possible :)

Whenever you have time (don't worry) do it and update for 3.8:P

THANKS A LOT!

AWESOME! Many of my members are from Europe and Scandinavia. This is perfect!

/INSTALLED

To change the color of the font:
Open file: google_translate.php
$strTranslation = '<div background-color:#000000><br /><font color=#ffffff>'

change to:
$strTranslation = '<div background-color:#ffffff><br /><font color=#000000>'
The color will be black.

Hi,

I installed this, because we have a few english member on our board, who need this.
The problem is, that for every marking up text, the translator pops up.
This would not be so annoying, but you can't click it away. Or set it up, if you want to occur the popup.
I need, you don't have actually much time, but it would be very great, if you can fix it.

Beside of that, the guys from the KDE Desktop Project developed an Inline Google Translation, which gives the user the opportunity to choose in which language he want to translate an entire post.

Live Demo at an Testforum by me

Could you do a similar mod for vBulletin? This would be awesome :)

Can someone outline the edits to get this working on VBA pages. I have allot of VBAdvanced pages and I get the google error. Maybe make the links absolute but not sure exactly where to edit so it works site wide. Thanks....

Figured it out. Actually easy fix.

Upload the google_translate.php provided in the hack to the VBA root. Same place your cmps_index.php or index.php resides.

If you have an image folder on the root then just upload the image provided there. If not then the easy way is to an the Images Folder straight to the same root.

Done...
Works perfectly on my site. Scalemotorcar.com

I made a few changes to the pop-up. The main difference is the ability to close the pop-up if its triggered accidental. 2nd I changed the background to class="panelsurround" to make it s bit more noticeable. This is a preference of mine but you can use whatever class looks best on your site.

Make sure you change the path to your <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/cross.png">.
I used the FamFamFam one. Hope this is of use to someone. Enjoy..

footer
search for

Code:
$ad_location[ad_footer_start

i can't find it
what can be problem?

Go to Admin CP > Styles & Templates> Style Manager ... Click the GO button.

In the 3rd block from the top is the footer template. Look for the very first line. It should be there. (Unless your have an older version of Vb>

If you dont have that line of code try adding it the top of the footer template. Should work fine.

Got a little problem with, Not really a bug just a glitch.

Ive got this installed and love it. Thanks

But I also installed MK's Image resizer last night and they do both work together but when I enlarge an image with Litebox the google translator pops up at the top left of the page.

Not the entire box but just the two drop down menu's. Any ideal how to fix this.

Heres the link to MK's mod

Anyone have an ideal why this in conflicting with MK-Image resizer? I would hate to have to uninstall this mod just over a simple fix. Could use some help here. Thanks.
