Google translation module

September 20, 2005 6:21 AM

How do I put a Google translation module on my website?

I have seen such a module on a few websites, including phpwebsite.appstate.edu. It has text that says "Translate this web page" followed by a drop-down menu where you can choose from 8 languages, and a "Go" button. When you click on the "Go" button, you are taken to a page on Google's website, where you see a translation of the page you started on.

I have checked Google's Language Tools webpage, and I don't see anything about how to get this module.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Best answer: From what it looks like, that phpwebsite page just copied the source off of googles language tools website, so I assume you can do the same. Just 'View Source' on that page and look for [form name="translator"]
