How to Add the Google Translate Tool to Your Blogs and Websites

How to Add the Google Translate Tool to Blogs

How do you make your website or blog available in 64 different languages? Well, there is a way you can allow people who do not have English as their first language to read your website or blog.

As with everything to do with Google, it is easy to apply. You can install the translator Google created using the code below.

Google Translator Code

Copy and paste this code:

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>

function googleTranslateElementInit() {

new google.translate.TranslateElement({

pageLanguage: 'en'

}, 'google_translate_element');

}

</script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

They have given a fantastic demonstration of how this works on a mock website. I have given the link for you to have a look at this Google application at the end of this article. Blogger has made it even easier now to add the Translator Toolbar.

How to Install the Translate Google Button to a Blog

• Go to the Design icon on your blog.
• There will be a drop down menu of things you can add.
• Find the one that says Translate.
• Click the button.
• That is it! You have added this to your Google Blog instantly.

Why Use the Toolbar on Your Site?

It allows its readers to translate your blog or site into their own language. There are sixty-four different languages available with the click of a button. This is very practical, so your readers get to have a choice of which language they use. This will give you a major advantage when it comes to readers who do not have English as their first language.

Benefits of Translator for Your Readers

The benefits of this are that you get more potential readers all over the world. More readers mean you get higher up the search engine pages, too. How amazing that your visitors from all over the world can read and understand your articles and blog posts. These new readers will then share your blog or website with their followers. More traffic to your blog posts and sites means you earn more money.

Google Homepage 

If you have Google as your homepage the translate button appears on the top automatically every time you open your internet. It is there for your convenience to translate a word or paragraph whenever you want to. The toolbar is something I installed a long time ago and I use it constantly for many things.

Icon on the Toolbar

You can add whatever language or languages you need to translate onto the Google Toolbar and you can use these instantly. This too only takes seconds to activate. You just have to scroll down to the list of languages that is available and right-click the language you want to add. That’s it; you have added the icon button for that language onto your toolbar.

If you are reading or writing something in Spanish and want to translate it into English then you only have to shade it and then press the English Spanish translate icon on the toolbar. Your Spanish sentence translation is done instantly.

Advantages of Google Translate to the Writer

If you write online articles then being able to write in English would get you millions more readers. Some writing sites do not allow any other language but English because of the work involved in maintaining too many languages on the site.

You can write your article in your own language and translate the text into English by uploading the document with the use of the online translation tools. You can also do a Google search of the internet in your own language. This will translate your search text from your own language to theirs and then when the results are sent back to you it is translated back to your own language.
