End-User Options - Forum Translator by Google

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, if so I apologize. I did find some other earlier versions of mods to use Google Translate, but could not find one similar and as simple to use as this.

In the footer template, find the first instance of:

</form>

Just below it add this:

<!-- Translate vBulletin -->
<div id="google_translate_element" class="footer_select"></div><script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({
    pageLanguage: 'en',
    multilanguagePage: true,
    gaTrack: true,
    gaId: 'UA-12345-12',
    layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
  }, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
<!-- /Translate vBulletin -->

Remove the 2 lines in red if you don't use Google Analytics. If you do, edit the number to your own.

It's so simple I think this would work on any version of vB.

Uninstall it: google will discontinue the translation tool and you have to pay if you want to use it.

Not yet they haven't. So far so good I guess.

On May 26, 2011, Google announced that the Google Translate API had been deprecated and that it would cease functioning on December 1, 2011 "due to the substantial economic burden caused by extensive abuse."

That sucks...

o well.. so far so good

Should give us plenty of time to use it for creating language packs.

Im having some issues with jquery and this code. It still works but its pushing any jquery popup over to the right of the forum.

Anyone else run into this.

This is the offending code.

<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {new google.translate.TranslateElement({
         pageLanguage: 'en',    gaTrack: true,}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
