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.

To all the users of my 2.00 modification, please refer to these instructions in order to upgrade. Upgrading is even easier then before.

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

To access your SHOWTHREAD template, go to your Admin CP >>> Styles & Templates >>> Style Manager >>> [Expand Your Style] >>> Show Thread Templates >>> SHOWTHREAD.

STEP 1.
Simply search for this block of code in your SHOWTHREAD template:

Code:

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

Change the one instance of the word Language to Translate.

STEP 2.
Look for everything starting with this line

Code:

<!-- Language Translator Menu -->

And ending with this line:

Code:

<!--/ Language Translator Menu -->

And replace all of it with this:

Code:

<!-- LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR MENU-->

And your done.

I will be adding additional language options like I had in the previous modification to Post 2. But because Google now translates the full spectrum of their available languages to the full spectrum of their available languages, the previous manner I had just isn't practical and wont fit into one post. So I will be adding [Language] to... options one by one as time permits. If you have a request, I'll move it to the front of the list. But until then I'm jut going thought them one language at a time. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy this update.

It does not work for me. My forum has been crawling with google bots for the last 3 months. It is open to public to read, and I have followed the instructions to get this to work. All is good. I click on Translate, and than select Spanish as an example. The new window opens up, goes to black, a little flicker, and than my firefox shuts down. Here is my site. http://www.unitedsocomleague.com/forum

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get a "Sorry, You Must Have Javascript Enabled To View This Site" message in whatever language I click on. I know the translator disables all Javascript when converting a page, so I'm guesing it's that your site can't be viewed with Javscript disabled.

Digital Jedi,

And from Russian it is possible?

Sure, I'll post one here in a few.

I didn't say you did. (Javascript is something an individual enables/disables on his computer while browsing the web.) I said Google disables Javascript on conversion and that your site can't be viewed with Javascript disabled.

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.
