That’s the old code which only produces 23 translation languages and has three errors in it.

The new code is here > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/translation-widget-2?replies=27#post-483594 and it produces the three column table I posted above. ^

I’m happy to hear you know know what a static page is and how to create one. Yay! :)

timethief,

It worked! Now I have a “Translate this page” on my static page. I used this code: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/translation-widget?replies=20

I now know what a static page is and how to use it. Thank you, thank you, mi amiga!

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.

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.

Kathleen
