Hey, I am running an english website and I would love to have some kind of script that people can select a button and it will translate the site or at least that page to the language of their choice. The site I would like to do this for is the MMOFPS link in my signature. The idea is I want various flags which people click and it translates the page the best it can. Any ideas people?
Hi. This is probably not the most elegant solution to the problem, but probably the most easy to implement. http://www.altavista.com/help/free/free_searchbox_transl
Sounds a good idea, so you can start getting traffic from other regions, although a translation never tends to be quite correct, the grammar in most cases won't read well; unless you know another language it won't ever be quite right. By the looks of things the idea nicangeli provided will solve the easiest solution.
We've used Worldlingo and it seems to work well so far, has the flags etc. Depends on if you want a machine translated site or not.
Good idea, I had a similar challenge a few months back, although this was for a brand new site. I decided on using the Cake PHP framework since among other things it offers support for internationalization. The implementation of such a feature, if it's your first time, is quite a daunting one, but well worth it.
