Nice attempt... others out there even one by UKBL

so everyone, pick your poison i.e. this one or others all seem good. Ohh and on the fly is kind of misleading I assumed everytime you clicked a link it would already bring it up translated... silly me but you see what I mean

uninstalled.
It is a bit annoying that it always appears at the top, a band wanting to translate the page. Anyway: thanks!

I've marked this installed however i only used the suggestion of adding the translate tool, rather than make all those template edits you could simply include it in your header or, as i have done make it floating

Is there a new set of instructions available for v4.xx of vBulletin? Also of vbCMS and vbBlog.

Google's Translator Causes Errors on Internet Explorer 6, so You Have to Create a Conditional to Exclude IE6 Browsers to Use the Translator, (the Users will get an Error Page if Not).

I Use the Following Code:

<if condition="(is_browser('firefox') or is_browser('chrome') or is_browser('ie', '8'))">

GOOGLE_TRANSLATOR_CODE

</if>

I Haven't Tested Yet if the Translator Works Fine on Internet Explorer 7, that's why I haven't included yet a:

or is_browser('ie', '7')

Also, the Chrome Browser should be Included with the Following Instructions:

Add Google Chrome to the is_browser() function

Another Simpler Code Might be the Following, to Exclude the Internet Explorer 6 Browser, and use the Translator on Every Other Browser and Internet Explorer Version:

<if condition="(!is_browser('ie', '6'))">

GOOGLE_TRANSLATOR_CODE

</if>

You Can Use the Google Translator Tool Code on the Header Template and it'll be Used on All the Board's Pages.

My Best Regards.
