Free Thread Translator

Well someone requested this as a hack, but it ended up being a template modification so it's here.

Anyway, what this does is adding a drop down menu with a list of languages, and you just select one and the thread will be translates.

The install this, add the following HTML code:

	<td align="center"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><smallfont><b>Translate Thread:</b><br>
	<select name="lang" onchange="window.location=('http://fets3.freetranslation.com:5081/?Url=path_to_forums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fs%3D%26threadid%3D$threadid&Sequence=core&Language='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
		<option value="-1" selected>Please select direction:</option>
		<option value="English/Spanish">English to Spanish</option>
		<option value="English/French">English to French</option>
		<option value="English/German">English to German</option>
		<option value="English/Italian">English to Italian</option>
		<option value="English/Norwegian">English to Norwegian</option>
		<option value="English/Portuguese">English to Portuguese</option>
		<option value="Spanish/English">Spanish to English</option>
		<option value="French/English">French to English</option>
		<option value="German/English">German to English</option>
		<option value="Italian/English">Italian to English</option>
		<option value="Portuguese/English">Portuguese to English</option>
	</select></smallfont></td></tr></table></td>

right before this:

	<td align="center">$adminoptions</td>

in your showthread template.

You only need to change the red part, like this. If the forum is at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum you need to replace the red part with "www.vbulletin.com%2Fforum" (you drop the http:// and change / into %2F as you can see!).

That's it.

sorry, feel awful about that, yes I am here, but I have been busy and have not been able to package it. If someone else wants to do it, go ahead, if I have the time coming up I will, but no promises, hopefully I will find the time sometime though

Sorry,

James

I said "the area". I'll be explicit:Both of your / must be changed to %2F as per the original instructions.
:supwink:

whats the problem thu, its not that

[Stretchr]

I'm using Jame's Lycos version of this hack and now, even pages that don't require you to be logged in are giving me the translated login page. Anyone else have this or know how to correct it?

Still no luck getting Member Only pages to load, even after trying all the suggestions.

Thanks

Are you saying that it works for you for members that have to be logged in your forum?

[mattshania]

Does this only translate the first page within a thread?

[RobAC]

Just an FYI, this does not render properly in Netscape 4.78 or 4.79.

It works for anyone for threads that are in public forums - will not work for private forums.

ok.

My board is not like this site. My users must be registered to view my board, so as a registered member can members use the translate feature now.

This is what I am wondering.

[jamesdasher]

no clue, Lucky sorry
