This Weeks Freebies are Website or Blog Translation tools.
With people from all over the world visiting your site and blog doesn’t it make sense for them to be able to translate your site into their native language easily?
With any of the tools mentioned below, your site or blog visitors can translate your content into their native language by clicking on the flag that belongs to their country.
Remember that the translations are done by machine and are not always perfect. Expect online translators to give the gist of the translated text but not a quality translation. To improve your translations use proper grammar. Avoid long and complex sentences, slang, misspelled words, or improper punctuation.
Google Easy Translation Tools
The easy way for visitors to translate your site or blog is with the Google toolbar. Offer a download or link to the Google Tools Page on your site or make it easy add the Google Gadget to your site (see below).
1. You can add your native language button to the tool bar. When you want to translate the web page you click the button.
2. Translation with no clicks using the Toolbar. You just pause over an English word, and the Word Translator displays that word's meaning in the visitor’s own language (You can translate from English to Chinese, Traditional and Simplified, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, and Spanish).
3. Add a Google Gadget to your Website or blog.
Just visit the tool link and copy and past the code into your blog or web page and your visitor can select the translation language from a drop down list in the gadget.
Not in Love with Google? Use a Widget or other tool
Widgets typically use country flags to indicate translation options. A visitor clicks on the flag of their native language and the page or blog is translated.
It is easy to add the tools and widgets to your site by cutting and pasting in the code provided. No excuse now for not translating your site or blog!
Widgetbox offers a Google Widget If you have an older version of WordPress you will want to upgrade because the content will not appear in IE7. Upgeading to the latest WordPress will solve the problem.
Other tools and other Widgets such as Babblefish (now merged with Yahoo) and many others including one that translates into 18 languages with a pull down menu.
I found a nice looking translation tool from the UK that you might like but it offers translation into ten different languages. The tool is customizable so you can use it vertically or horizontally and you can specify the background color.
Global Translations offers two options for translation. The offer a banner, which offers flags with the country, names under each flag (12 language options). They also offer a drop down menu like the Google menu I mentioned above.
These are just a few ways to add the global audience to your blogs and web sites.
If you don’t want to Ad’s for other sites on yours
You can use the code (PHP, Java Script and html or a combination) with images and link to the translation pages provided by Google.
