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.

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.

Well, in that case this is not going to work for you. I'm not sure how you can circumvent that.

Would anyone please update this thread with freetranslation.com's new URLs?

Thanks!
