UKBL ~ Easy Google Translator

Hi Everyone, :)

Made this for a friends forum and thought i'd share it here :D

Just a Simple Google translator which you can add to your forums, displays in a small Dropdown box in the Forum Home and posibit wrapper.

Then you can add the dropdown box in the postbit wrapper so that the option to translate is available with every post ;)

Thanks Mike :D

Hope you feel better soon mate ;)

#4, sorry for the lateness & Thanks! Better already and about to go to Wendy's and KILL a combo lol!

I put mine in navbar on forum home, then the footer for a while so they notice then I will remove, then in all my subforums as some are in different styles in the footer at the very top which makes it just below the box stating:

Again, many thanks for the great insight UK!

Edit: Demo: --> http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com...splay.php?f=21
Bottom Left below the box as I described.

Edit Again lol: I might change the location to be in w/ the upper code where it says "Display Options" and that will make more sense eh? :D

S-MAN

Hi UKBusinessLive,

Can you add language vietnamese ??

thanks,

Hi Phoxitin

To add the Vietnamese option just add this to the bottom of your list of language options

That should do it ;)

I'm doing to update the languages later, I only did those ones as they were the ones required, if i add them all (about 35) you'll be able to delete the ones you don't want.

Take care

:D

Great work.. I have alot of different people in and think this will help..

Thanks James :up:

You have little mistake in languages. There is Cczech, should be Czech :)

I have translated all names into Polish (in alphabetical order of course) :)

And of course, Great Work! :)

Thanks for that, :D

You still didn't correct the Cczech name in languages list :P It should be Czech :P

just going to do it now, been at work all day :D

Installed on 3.8.1 BUT, it pushes the forum home to the right with a gap on the left. And it really jumbled up the posts within threads. TIA.

Do not work from spanish to english?
Google

I have it installes ,but most of the time do not translate nathing.

Hi,

So you want to translate english to english ???

What exactly is it thats not working???

:confused:

Hi,

Have you added it to the right part in your template as explained above??? Works fine on my forum http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum

post here the code which you used, remember there are Two Codes one for the header and one for the postbit wrapper

All i think could be happening is that you've put the code in between something ??

let me know and we'll get it sorted :D

On Edit:

In postbit_wrapper:

Add in the </td>

In the forumhome:

Put in the <tr> <td>

Then make sure to close.

BUT, when clicking on translate I have to log back in again then it shows no translation; even though it says that it is the translation. TIA.

aircool52 it won't work because you've pasted wrong language shortcuts in the link.
In UK's code there is a link given, right after <DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>:
The only thing you need to do is to set up proper shortcuts of your language.
For spanish language it will be es.

Here is an example for you:

i was hoping you could tell me how i could add this translation mod to the end of the menu mod you released the other day?

My forum has tabs in it, and so adding it under the navbar looks pretty messy.

Experiment ;) Add it to the Footer, or the Top of the forumhome template, Try it and see is the best bet, Remember to back up your template files first ;)

I did experiment, and couldn't get it to work in the drop down menu mod, that's why i'm asking you about it in this thread. :)

Oh i see what you mean, In that case select a language that you want to make a tab for, say german, you'll see an url like this as the page translates

You just use this in the Url part of the menu tabs and with a discription of Translate to German in the tab, But i can't see you adding 30+ tabs for all the different languges :confused:

My vb is in Spanish , but some of the participant came from UK and like to read it in English , so when I choose language translator gave me this error:
Google

Hola Amigo :rolleyes:

Thats because your using the default english setup, what you need to do is find this line in the begining of the code

and in the google url chnage the following In red to es

google. com/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=en%7C' + this.value + '&u=' + window.location.href

so it looks like this..

google .com/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=es%7C' + this.value + '&u=' + window.location.href

and save, thats it, what your doing is telling google that your main lauguage is spanish, and now you'll be able to translate your spanish site into english :D

ho??? thanks man it works find now.

Can you add language turkish ?

thank for your hard waork sir..

Hello Sir, unforunately Turkish is not available at the moment from Google, The full list of languages are here http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/f...html#langpairs.

keep checking regularly as they do add everynow and again ;)

In google translate home turkish supported, But in faq page its shown as not supported.

I'll look at this now and see if we can get something working for our Turkish Friends
:)

Done it,

Right all you need to do is this

First in the code find this line

Now thats ok, for websites that are normally in English, But if you have a Turkish website then you'll need to change the code a little

Firstly in that line of code find the google url and the bits you need to change is in red

google . com/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=en%7C' + this.value + '&u=' + window.location.href;">

Now the en tells google your site is in english, well we need to change that to Turkish so change that for tr, the 2 letter country code for Turkey

So now your code should look something like...

Thats the first bit, secondly we need to add Turkish to the list of options so at the bottom, Below spanish, add a new option line for our Turkish Translation like this...

Once you've done that, save and refresh your site, you'll be able to translate Turkish to the world :D

Enjoy :up:

Thanks

Bump.

Sorry Buddy, Must of forgotten about you :eek:

Tell me a bit more of what your trying to do?? What country are you in?? and where you've added your code.

What languages are you translating to show you that error???

Perhaps a link would allow me to see the problem first hand, PM me if you do not want to post the link, but prefer to send it to me.

Thanks, we'll try and sort this for you today ;)

thanks for turkish suupport sir :D

good luck...

Check your PMs.

Have Replied ;)

Wow, Uk!

I'm starting to really love your work mate...

My new forum software, this would be perfect as a language chooser, as it translates everything.

Thank you mate ;)
