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

Save.

Enjoy.

Probably because it was just posted today

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.

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.

Mine just stopped working! I just upgraded vBSEO...
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!
