Text translation question - GoFuckYourself.com

I want to make a few small images that when clicked will automatically translate your site for the surfer...any idea's on how this can be done?

I remember seeing it somewhere before but now, of course, I don't remember the url and it seems I forgot to bookmark it lol

Any hel would be great

Thanks!

Hi,

have a look at http://translate.google.com/

You can enter an url there, then you see the translation-url in your location bar.

But beware, automatic translations are shitty, they just give the reader an idea of what could have been meant

I would setup some GeoIP redirection to specific sections of the website that are in the same user language, but you will need to manually create each webpage of your website in the languages you want to cover

Geolocation for language detection is not necessary. The browser sends an Accept-Language header with the code of its configured language.

Thanks for the good advice but I want the surfers of my site to be able to just click a button and have the text on my site that they are looking at change to another language, I don't want for them to have to translate it themselves...they probably won't anyway.

I thought in the beggining that I would have to make seperate pages in other languages but that is a lot of work. I will do it, I have before but when I saw another site that had buttons of flags that when clicked translated the text right in front of me I thought how perfect is this!

Goes to show that you have to bookmark every site you look at and clean your bookmarks out once a month after looking at them all again lol

I would not use any automatic translation service. The results will vary between funny to read and plain wrong. It may give the visitor the impression that the site is nonprofessional and untrustworthy.

Either spend the time and translate it (or better let somebody translate it) or just stick with English

Nice, I had forgotten about the Google translation service.

Definitely is important to remember that it's going to be a literal translation, so it won't pick up on subtlties of languages.
