Google AJAX Translation WordPress Plugin
UPDATE:
Thanks Michael Klein for his great work on this plugin. We’ve updated to Version 0.3.1 now.
Some changes:
- Encapsulate the plugin in a class. No global vars needed anymore, faster code! (Michael Klein)
- Better support of capabilities-model (WP 2.6)
- Fixed some html-bugs (missing alt-Tags, etc.)
And, please make sure go to your WordPress Settings->Google Translation admin page to reconfig all the preferences after the updating. Thanks!
Google AJAX Translation is my the first WordPress Plugin, it has been downloaded more than 1700 times until today. And because it is so simple, I haven’t done any major update after the first release.
Couple of days ago, I’ve got an email from Michael Klein from alquanto.de. In his email, he attached a updated version of my plugin and show me how it works on his blog: http://groovengine.de
Mr. Michael Klein has finished a big task on my todo list: Switch between flag icon and text for all these languages.
It’s amazing! This is the beauty of Open Source! We need a new update version now!

Please feel free to comment here if you have any questions, or you still can check if is was already answered on the old post.
And it is on GitHub too!
Please add Lithuanian
Great job!
Sweden’s flag is? blue with a yellow cross!!!! Embarrassing bug!!!
I’ve installed the plugin and I love it!
However, I don’t want to have the flags listed on each post on the homepage. Is there a way to include the flags on each post, but not on the posts that display on the Homepage?
Great module!
What is a limit for a text (if is any?) that can translate this plugin?
When I try to tanslate my post it’s only translate about 255 first characters. How I can translate rest?
A new version is under developing now and will be released in the coming weeks. It will fix a lot of problems which listed here and include some other improvements too.
You will get notified from your plugin page soon!
Fantastic work Libin! I can’t believe my pages can even translate to Chinese… that’s just so awesome!
Thanks! For your tutorials!
hi,
see translation post just plugged in my blog
I want Turkish version. Please to care.
Thanks, great job. Please add Turkish.
any turkish translations? flag
Please add Turkish. Because Turkey is a location which have 70 millions people.
Sure! Your voices are heard!
I’m still unclear who has browsers without Javascript. Cell phones now? Really?
Anyway, this general pattern does have easy fallback, as the pattern is one where you refresh portions of the page via Javascript/XHR, but if you did a full refresh you’d get the same content.
is there any option to include it into the header, so people can translate the whole page? without character limit.
a reply is welcome.

Hi, I just posted on wordpress.org about using a modified version of your plugin:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264206
If anyone is interested I’ll post all the code for download or post any questions.
Hi there:
My widget doesn’t show up in the widget listing. Any help?
Thanks in advance!
We waiting still for Turkish, please quick
Love the plug in, but it’s not allowing for translation when pages are accessed through the sidebar categories. It shows the entire list of languages it could be translated as part of the blog entry. How do I fix this?
Hello!
I can’t get it working with some templates. with other templates it is working…
what could be the reason for that?
I am just using WP 2.8 BETA, but tested with 2.7.1 as well
if I use WORDPRESS Classic theme, it is working, if I use
Benevolence DE 2.1 by Theron Parlin for example, it is not working
I checked different installations with different templates…
what can it be that it works at ONE domain with some templates, with others not?
.. added Turkish?
You post is very helpful to me and I
Would be great to have this sitting in a Widget!
YAA Adding this to my bookmarks. Thank You
Thanks. But it doesn’t add Turkish
Unfortunately, all that appears on posts is the word “Translate.” Clicking on Translate is the only way to get the flags to appear. If someone is not an English speaker, he will not recognize that this is the way to translate!
Hi,
And thank you for this amazing plugin -perfect with WP 2.8..!
I just would like to move the “translate” link to another line of my posts, with the tags, number of wiews and so on… Is ther a piece of code that I could directly copy into my template(s), or something to modify into you’r plugin code ?
Thanks again, in anu case !!!
Hi This plugin is great!!!…but due to my content I had to remove the horizontal ruleand I would prefer it in the top right of my page…how can I change the position?
It doesn’t work with wordpress 2.8, why?
i can get it working.. http://www.maldivesonlineguide.com can someone please help.. the plugin doesnt react to any language selections.
i have wp 2.8
hi,
I have a page where i add posts to a static page (see my homepage url, (built according to http://moshublog.com/2007/09/10/static-frontpage-combined-with-dynamic-content) and it now it seems css/js isn’t applied to the translate link at the blog posts. Any ideas?
thanks!
in fact, i made a temporal solution, but see the affected page now at http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/test
Im trying to hack into it, i guess there needs to be some tag at the bottom of the posts-list, but which? the Page template is here.
Sorry for spamming
I think its has to do with the use to the_excerpt, its not included in the filter hook selection list…
I get the same error with the person above who has http://www.maldivesonlineguide.com
That is, when I click on a language from the list, nothing happens, and Firefox shows the following error in the Error Log:
Error: jQuery(A).translate is not a function
Source File: http://WEBSITE../blog/wp-content/plugins/google-ajax-translation/jquery.translate-1.3.7.min.js?ver=1.3.7
Line: 10
Is there something missing?
The “jQuery(A).translate is not a function” error is caused because of a name conflict with jQuery. My blog already has other plugins that make use of jQuery, and therefore since the Javascript naming is global, there is a conflict.
