The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

DJ's Translate a Thread in a Google Pop-Up Window · **Released**: 08-18-2008

This template modifications adds a drop-down menu to all your threads which allows users to translate that thread in a new window using Google's Language Tools.

========================================
NOTE: As this is a merely a template edit, vBulletin version isn't really going to be an issue.
========================================

When I first released this for vB 3.6, there seemed to be some confusion as to how this works. Let me clear up any confusion from the start. This is just a simple template modification that redirects you to a translation service from Google.com. It's some links and some pictures designed to help international users communicate more easily. It does not auto-detect what language your forum is in, nor is it a way to browse and post in your forum in another language. It's simply what is described: A way to translate a thread from one base language to another set language. And it also can only support the languages that Google supports, which are the ones listed. Hopefully I've redesigned this mod to be more clear about how it works.

NOTE: In order for Google to translate your threads, they must be able to crawl your forum pages. So Guests must be able to read your forum in order for this mod to work.

Updates

Live Demo
Look for the "Translate" drop-down menu beside the "Display Modes" drop-down.

Installation
Installation is simple. To add this to your forum requires two edits to your SHOWTHREAD template.

Step 1.
To access your SHOWTHREAD template, go to Admin CP >>> Styles & Templates >>> Style Manager >>> "Expand one of your styles" >>> Showthread Templates >>> SHOWTHREAD and look for:

Code:

 
 <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("displaymodes"); </script></if>
 </td>
 </if>

Below it add:

Code:

 
        <td class="vbmenu_control" id="languagemenu" nowrap="nowrap">
          <a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_languagemenu">Translate</a>
        <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("languagemenu"); </script></if>
    </td>

Step 2. (The following step will add the "English to..." translation links only. For those that want additional language options, see Post 2 of this thread.)
Next find:

Code:

    
<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    vB_AJAX_ThreadRate_Init('showthread_threadrate_form');
    var threadid = $threadinfo[threadid];
    //-->
    </script>
</if>

Below it add:

Code:

Step 3.
Next thing to do is upload the flag images (in attached zip file) to the buttons folder in your images directory. Make sure you upload them to the right one. For some forums, this might simply be images/buttons/. But if your using a custom skin, this might be in the folder holding your style (skin) images, such as [stylename]/buttons/. It will need to be in that directory for each skin you make the template changes to.

What you can do is track down the javascript that your site requires for viewing it, and fix it to where users who don't have Javascript enabled can still view it. That's kind of a good idea anyway, because there are still people out there who either don't browse with Javascript enabled, or who simply don't have the functionality.

So how would I track it down. I can see this mod working in the demo. I followed all directions for install, but I can not see anything on my computer. Is there something I need to turn on in my internet settings that allows me to see it on my website.

You have another modification installed that prevents users who don't use Javascript from browsing your forum. What you can try is turning your modifications off one at a time, and each time, try the translator until you see which one is causing the problem.

but the translated pages dont show the style or css (using vbseo) (css stored as file)

Google will only display the page as it can be viewed by a guest.

I wish that this MOD would put the translate link in the navbar at the top.

Also is there any way to put a Translate feature on our CMPS page so that non english speaking visitors can select an alternative language? Perhaps in a module? I would love for my site to be versatile for all!

Digital Jedi · #28 10-03-2008, 03:17 AM

I posted a homepage module in the previous version, but I haven't even updated my personal homepage version yet. It's just been a matter of time constraints. I'll put the new one up soon, speaking relative to my schedule.

I'm not sure a navbar version would be very practical.

This hack is awesome!!! Any way to add another language? Turkish?

I'm glad you like it, thanks. But I can only add languages that Google supports. Google doesn't support Turkish as of yet.
