Google Translate

DogHam

Hi, How can i add a google translate button to my site?
A button where you can chose your language and it will translate all text in forum.
thank you!

You can add it by modifying your theme's default.master.tpl file. This is located in /themes/NameOfTheme/views/.

Get your code from Google. You will have to fill out the form. You should end up getting two snippets.

Place the meta snippet in your .tpl file right before the </head> tag. Then place the <div id="google_translate_element"> snippet where you want it to show up. I suggest putting it right before the {asset name="Panel"} tag. Style it however you want using your theme's custom.css file.

Try this one I use it and works very well. Just remove the space I added between the < > that I added so they would show here;

Ad this to your theme's default.master.php at the bottom below div id="Foot" or where you want it to appear

< div id="translate-this" style="height: 18px; " >< a style="width:180px;height:18px;float:none;display:inline-block;" class="translate-this-button" href="#translate">Translate Company< /a >< div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 1px; " >< /div >< /div >

< script type="text/javascript" src="http://x.translateth.is/translate-this.js" >< /script >
< script type="text/javascript" >
TranslateThis();
< /script >

where can I get google translator?

@vrijvlinder
This code doesn't work. I see just text "Translate Company" and when i click on it, I will be redirected to ".../#translate" but nothing changed.

Did you remove all the spaces I put in between the < > ?

Here is the link to get fresh code

Yes. I found now a nice source code with flags.

But how can I change the link? It's opening in a new tab. How can I open it in the same tab?

@DogHam I put the link in my original comment.

I don't know how that works, the one I recommended uses google and ajax and it shows in the same page on a dropdown list . I used it on ten sites and people love it.

The widget you linked, DogHam, requires the page to be reopened and is on google's servers (processing your page).

The method I outlined above will work as you want.

DogHam

Thank you very much. It's now working great!
