Parlez-vous Francais....? Google translator tutorial...

Actually, I can speak it a bit, but only about a handful of words from a long forgotten high school class and some swear words...

I just installed a translator button on my left side bar. It amazed me how many out of country visits I was getting. I would hate to go to a great page and not be able to read it ;)

It took me forever to figure out how to install it, but it was stupid easy.

I wish some one could have told me how .So, for you my friends, If you want to put in the button for your own out-of-town guests, here's the secret for Blogger.
(If you have another service, it's probably similar in pasting the code.)


Google Google translate or click here.
Click on the tools-google translate.
There is a box of code on the page. Make sure the settings are where you want them.
Highlight blue and COPY.
Open your own page in a separate window ( In case you need to re-copy the code, my page would only paste and copy if I did it from the top tool bar, not my mouse.).

In Blogger, open to your customize page.
Open to add a gadget.
Open/add HTML/JAVA code.
Paste the code you copied into the box.
Save.
Move to where you want it on your page, probably some where near the top.
Save.

DONE.

Now you can also Habla Espanol too. :)

  2. It took me a while to get it too. But I did it and I'm always glad to see one when I visit a blog from a country.
