Mini Mods - Quick "Translate This Page" Link

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:

 
<strong>Translate This Page<br />

Save.

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

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.

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>

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

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

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.
