Maybe you all know this and I may hear a collective cyber-yawn, but after having a lot of trouble trying to find a none java type of translation tool, i came up with this method which other technically naive bloggers may like.
Go to my blog “From Dusk ’till Dawn” and take a look at the Japanese Translation at the top of the sidebar. Try it out – you’ll find that all your blog gets translated – all the current pages and all the comments.
I think it’s great and all you have to do is go to appliedlanguage.com and pick up a code to paste into your sidebar.
IMPORTANT TIP: You will find the link on their page at the bottom of the centre column as a free service. It reads as follows:
Free Translation on your website
If your visitors could translate copy directly while on your website, they would stay longer. To add this great link bait all you need is our code.

N.B. You can get as many languages as you want.

The quickest way is to go to http://www.appliedlanguage.com/trans/free_quick.aspx
Choose your language and they’ll send you the html code at once by auto email
paste it into your sidebar.

timethief,
From whom did you obtain your translation button please?
Thank you,

Hi Katleen,
This is a very old post. I do not use the button referred to in it on my blog. Instead I use a workaround with which I have created my Translation page here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/translation/
If you would like to you can copy and paste the code and replace every “onecoolsitebloggingtips.com” with “kathleeniscookinginmexico.wordpress.com” and then enter the code into the HTML editor on your own static page. This code will NOT work in a widget.

tt,
I don’t see any code.
Also, I don’t think I have a static page. I thought this was the page that appears the same — no changes — on blogs that don’t display a new post with each visit.
Using my practice blog, I installed Ismailmail’s translation code, found on a WP forum. This is what it looks like — see upper right http://cookingsimplefood.wordpress.com/ . With all the listed languages, it appears cumbersome. Your simple button of the world on the top of your side bar, presents the translation service more elegantly.
Please direct me to the code, and define “static page” for me, and perhaps I can figure this out.
As always, I appreciate your time and concern. Hope you are having a great week-end.

Hi there Kathleen,
If you look at the top of my blog you see a horizontal row of page tabs (About, Commenting, etc. ). They are all pages and are meant to be used for static content. But I didn’t chose to make one a into “static front page”. I wanted to retain the conventional blog structure of a dynamic front page.
Dashboard > Pages > Add New in the left menu
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
Once you have made your translation page you can copy the code on to it and save it. Then you can put any free multi-language translation image linked to the URL of the Translation page you created in a text widget and display it in your sidebar. That’s what I did.
Hope this helps. :)
P.S. I can’t remember where I got the image I’m using.
