This widget is tested on Blogger, Wordpress and Joomla. It might also work on other platforms.

How to add the Google Translate Mini-Flags Widget to your blog:

Blogger

1. Go to your Dashboard > Layout > Add a Page Element > HTML/JavaScript
2. Paste the code
3. Add a title. Ex: Translate, Translate this page, Google Translate (Optional)
4. Save (or Save Changes).

Wordpress

1. Login to your Admin panel > Presentation tab > Widgets tab
2. Paste the code into the Text Widget. If there’s no Text Widget available, add one.
3. Add a title. Ex: Translate, Translate this page, Google Translate (Optional)
4. Save.

Joomla site

1. Login to your Admin panel > Modules - Site Modules > click New
2. Paste the code into the Custom Output content box
3. Adjust module details and menu item links if necessary
4. Click Apply or Save.

Google Translate is still on its beta phase. Much like with other web page translation services, your readers might find parts of the translation very funny. Google has yet to meet their standards on this.

This widget is distributed freely. Feel free to use it, change it to meet your needs. Just drop me a comment below to let me know it helped out, or if you have questions or problems adding it your blog or site.

ASIDE

DeVry University has always vouched ardently for online education. As a part of its campaign, it has offered to teach a selective few how to translate english to spanish. Initially they had offered french english dictionary as a free e-book as well. Now University of Phoenix as well as the Walden University is also planning to work on similar lines. In the beginning they will be giving out their german english dictionary as a free e-book.

What's next?

I’ve got the code and followed your simple steps, but can’t get it to translate my blog.
What did I miss?

#23 MadTom on 03.10.08 at 1:24 am

SG,

When pasting the code, be sure the text/code editor is in Html mode (”edit Html”).

#24 MadTom on 03.10.08 at 4:06 am

Dear veryheaven ,

At the moment, Google Translate has no support yet for translating German language to other languages other than French and English. But I will see if I can create a flag widget (German) with other web translators.

Hi,
Thank you for the free google translator. I really appreciate it, I have put it on my blog. Have a great day!

I copied this into a text widget and it doesn’t show the flags…only text from “border….FFFF;”
can u perhaps give the html code like i should add it to make it work… tks!

<div style=”border:1px solid #ccc;padding:10px 3px 3px 10px;text-align:center;background-color:#FFFFFF;”

#29 MadTom on 04.17.08 at 10:19 pm

Nikita,

Each code above is complete; and each should work when put into a text widget (WordPress). Be sure to copy and paste the complete code.

#30 Nikita on 04.18.08 at 2:35 am

tks, i will try again today… that is what i actually did… but, let’s see again…

#31 Nikita on 04.18.08 at 2:49 am

hello again…the flags show… but have a look at my site…colour changed to grey which i don’t like…and look at the code that’s visible…and… click on a flag..and nothing happens…and i promise…i copied everything as it is..i checked myself 3 times!

#32 MadTom on 04.18.08 at 4:43 am

Nikita,

I’m not sure why it doesn’t work with your site. But when I viewed your page source, I noticed the javascripts were missing or removed from the widget’s code, that’s why the flags don’t work when clicked. It seems that something with your site that’s disabling the code.

You can try the following:
Go to your Dashboard > Options > Writing …
and under Formatting, uncheck the box before the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically“. Click Update Options.

Get the code (again ) for the Google Translate Mini-Flags Widget and paste it into a text widget.

#33 Nikita on 04.18.08 at 7:29 am

hi madtomatoe… I don’t have an “option”-link! I clicked on ALL links on my dashboard…there isn’t such a link…isn’t that with Wordpress 2. (whatever) and higher? Thanks for your help…I’ve now deleted the code in my widget.

#34 MadTom on 04.18.08 at 8:09 am

Nikita,

I’m sorry, it should have been like this:
::: Go to yourAdmin panel > Options > Writing …
and under Formatting, uncheck the box before the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”. Click Update Options:::

#35 Nikita on 04.18.08 at 11:01 am

Hi MadTom
These are the links I have…I clicked on them all, there isn’t a link such as “options” nor “Formatting”.. and I really clicked and searched everywhere…

Oops! Sorry again.. I see you’re already using the new WordPress 2.5. Anyways, I’ve just tried the widget with WordPress 2.5 and it’s working well.

#37 Nikita on 04.18.08 at 6:09 pm

Hi Madtom…the text widgets won’t allow java… I’ve read it today on the forum too…many other people have problems with it…i have internet explorer 7, don’t know it that’s a problem… other people say they have problems with Firefox

#38 Jason on 05.22.08 at 6:13 pm

I have place this on my website, but when I click on it nothing happens…. Help please!!!!

#39 Joe on 05.26.08 at 6:23 pm

For some strange reason, Google Translations doesn’t seem to work for Blogger on IE, but works fine on Firefox.

Maybe it’s just my computer?

Can someone please test my website to see if works on IE?

Hello
I pasted the code for the Google Translate Beta (8 flags) In my site, but when I click any of the language flags I get an Error Message that says: Sorry, this is an Invalid URL.
Where did I go wrong?

Regards
Gerson

#42 Michael on 07.04.08 at 12:37 pm

A note to all the “copy and pasters” the first div tag is missing a closing “>”. So the code won’t work unless you add it. I hope MadTomatoe has a chance to fix this.

#43 MadTom on 07.04.08 at 8:13 pm

Thanks, Michael, for pointing that out.

#44 Hamida on 07.11.08 at 4:37 pm

and I have two others
thedesertsky.blogspot.com
hamidatheherbalist.blogspot.com
I want to add more flags and more languages to the flag translate widget. How do I do that?

#45 Twotone on 07.15.08 at 6:19 am

I love you widget. Is it possible for me to custumize the widget so I can translate a Dutch website into the languages listed plus English?

#46 Burt on 07.15.08 at 7:36 pm

Hi. Thanks for the Google Flags code. I was working on a kludge myself and you saved me a couple handfuls of hair. I will add you to my ’site credits’ page when I get some final details sorted out but for now you can see it here http://www.stormvisions.com/pages/home.php

The only thing that would be cool is perhaps to hide the div containing the flags onclick. Right now clicking one of them, then selecting another language from the translated page -instead of the original page- delivers you to a translate box at Google.

Great work and thanks.

Burt

Well appreciated
