How to add Google Translate to your Ning site.

[gabet123]

Greeting everyone,

 

I run a site called HODINFO  I have many members from other countries and have been looking for a good translation service that will continue to translate between pages of my site. Attached is the code required to make this happen. All you have to do is put a text box on the right side of your network so that it will appear on all pages. Then click the attachment below called googletranslate.txt right click and view source then copy and paste the code into that text box via the html section and hit save. Viola you now have google translate on your network.

 Update 06/26/2012 just use the code between the lines.

-------------------------------------------------------

<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Thank you so much for such a great solution, and for making it so simple.

You should change your category to "tutorials and how to's". This way, nc's can locate it in that section.

No problem Dave 99.
Thanks ThunderX I moved it.

[Patrick Chappelle]

LOL thanks gabet123! Hey, I've started getting complaints about the Translator bar...that it runs in a bar at the top of the page and they have to 'x' it out on every page they go to...anything that can be done about that or is that the way it is?
