UKBL ~ Easy Google Translator

Hi Everyone,

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

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

Just click on a language and within seconds your posts is converted to a language of your choice

Your Members will be able to chose from the following,

Arabic
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional
Dutch
French
German
Greek
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Russian
Spanish
Portuguese

There are loads more available, if you want any lanuage in particular, just post here and i'll add it on

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

Code:

<td nowrap style="border-left: 1px solid #dddddd;" align="center"> <select name="translate" style="height:20px; font-size:11px;" onchange="javascript:window.location = 'http://www.google.com/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=en%7C' + this.value + '&u=' + window.location.href;">
<option value="">Translate This Page</option>

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...

Code:

<td nowrap style="border-left: 1px solid #dddddd;" align="center"> <select name="translate" style="height:20px; font-size:11px;" onchange="javascript:window.location = 'http://www.google.com/translate_c?hl=tr&langpair=tr%7C' + this.value + '&u=' + window.location.href;">
<option value="">Translate This Page</option>

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...

Code:

<option value="tr">Turkish</option>

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

Enjoy :up:

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
