looks like this

•Description

Google Translate on your sidebar. You can translate your blog to reader’s language from sidebar instantly by selecting language.

•Requirements

WordPress 2.5 environment

•Install

Place php file into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate through the administration panel, and then go to the widget panel and drag it to where you would like to have it!

•Settings

Title: Title text for sidebar
Base language: Select your (blog owner’s) language
Add source language: If you write your blog with multiple languages, maybe check this is useful. By checking this, the source language selector will come up on your sidebar, too.

•On your sidebar

If reader had already pressed ‘Translate’ button, the button will be disabled and link to original page will shows up. It is due to translate-translate problem at Google Translate web site. (not so important part here, don’t worry)

•Download

via WordPress.org

•Versions

* Jan 22 2009 – v0.0.1
- Initial release

•Mom, I don’t understand!

Remember, this is ‘machine’ translation therefore only ‘proper’ language will be translated. (Maybe this is good time to start using good language? nooooot!)

•If you like this

If you like this widget, writing small entry on your blog and trackbacking to this entry makes me really really happy!

Hello, I have tried to use your translator in Wordpress 2.7. The translate button does not work. I used yours on your page and love the way it works. Will your translator ever work on 2.7?

I found your translator and put it on my blog. The only problem is that the translate button will not work. I am using wordpress 2.7. I noticed that you said 2.5. Will it ever work for 2.7 or should I look for another translator?

I tried the translator on your site and love it. Would really love to get it to work on my blog.

Hi,

I saw your site, this widget automatically disable its ‘translate’ button if url is not same as where you put. In your case, the PHP gets location of your blog is ‘blog.grandma-marilyns.com’ but actually it is ‘www.blog.grandma-marilyns.com’, so the button is disabled. I will fix this problem shortly and re-release it but until then, remove word ‘disabled’ at line 93.

thanks reporting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really did want to use it now it can stay on my website. I am excited that anyone can now read my blog no matter where they are from. You have done a good thing by creating this program.

Shinn,

I don’t release ’separate’ version of this program. For maintenance reason, I believe that it is better to use widget if you can change your theme file… But your anime page is fantastic.

Dear Mr. Catkick, thank you very much for your widget! I used to use it in my site but suddenly it stops to work… Can you check it and (if possible) suggest a fix?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I just tried to access your web site but some sever side error detected so I could not reach your page. I will do it gain later, but on my site, this widget looks fine. It is maybe some internet connection troubles between your computer to Google’s server (through ‘cloud’, so nobody knows where and how).

Please try this plugin with: a) other internet connection such as friend’s house, school, work place and so one, b) other WordPress system, or c) other time (noon, night etc). Those information is very helpful to find out where issue is.

Thank you using my plugin!
