Additional "[Language] to..." Options (Step 2A)
If you would like more then the basic "English to..." functionality, add the block(s) of code of your choice underneath (or instead of) the code you added in Step 2. Then proceed to Step 3 in the first post.

*************UNDER DEVELOPMENT***********

First of all -- you're my official hero for the day. I was about to sign out for the day, but had to install this first. I really want to branch out to reach other languages but I haven't found an easy solution. This will work great!

A couple of things you should fix in your code.

1) You need to add </table></div> right before <!-- / Language Translator Menu -->.

2) For the links that need to be changed to your forum, some of them say www.YOURSITE.NET and some say www.cogonline.net.

3) The Greek flag is missing from the zip file.

Again, great mod!! Thanks!

[Digital Jedi]

Whoops. So much for proof reading. Thanks ChurchMedia. I'll correct that right away.

EDIT: Fixed both the lack of the closing tags, the demo URLs and added the missing Greek Flag to the zip. I'd forgotten Google added Greek.

Yes, you can adjust the window size by editing each instance of width=800,height=800. But bear in mind that your users are all using different browser resolutions, and anything too much larger then 800px will create a window larger then the screen for some users.

Thanks much. Do you mean the Google window, or the page the menu is on? The menu shouldn't slow the page load at all, but Google's translation service can take a moment, and longer if their server is busy (which seems to be the case late at night, at least, locally.)
