Google Translation MOD

Post by AngelXSID »

I was just wondering is it possiable to have a mod, where you click the link, pops down, and it has options for more language options that are translated through Google language tools, but where it doesn't show the frame saying it was translated by Google. Also with it having little flags either side on what language it's relating too. I should wonder how it would work, but i haven't tried coding it, i'm not that good to have a go myself, i would only mess it up and send me crazy :(

So short:

drop down link, with options for other languages.
with little flags either side.
autohide the toolbar at the top on Google site, doesn't really matter if it can't be used properly, through like a frame killer, in case it has problems etc.

you can see what i mean through woltlab 3 language translator at the top. (http://demo.woltlab.com)
or on the youtube page.

i had a different mod request, but i forgot and that just poped into my head.

Sorry but I need to reply this thread to ask you if there is a MOD capable of translating posts without the user replying or opening new threads.

I mean, when a guest is visiting my board and the language of each post is written in spanish for example, this MOD that I am suggesting will translate all the text of each post (after you click on some button on each one) in another window from Google, using a combination that I, the administrator, have configured before (could be spanish to english, or english to spanish).

Did something like that was developed by someone? :)

That would be way to much work. Maybe if you had something as simple as having a link to Google Translate, with a drop down on each post with the threadID and postID automatically added through the tpl files?

That will also be helpful, Angel. But I am affraid there is no such MOD out there. This MOD described above is only working when you click on "New thread" or "Reply button".

Look at this entire thread translated from english to spanish:
http://translate.google.com.br/translat ... R&ie=UTF-8

And the button to translate each thread could be located on the top or bottom of each page. ;)

Thank you very much, that was exactly what I was looking for. It is capable of translating threads at first sight, and you don't need to be a member to use that. Very nice! :)
