Roll-Over Translations
June 2, 2008 4:33 PM Subscribe
I'm a newbie at HTML and CSS and all, but I'd like to introduce a function in my blog posts where the mouse rolls over a word and a Spanish translation pops up in a box. Ask Me-Fi whizz-kids: are there any plugins, on any of the common blogging platforms, which will let me do this?
You might want to check out Lingro - it has the rollover feature you described.

Best answer: I would just do this:
<span title="in spanish, cerveza">beer</span>
If you wanted you could add a class="translation" and make it format in some standard way that stands out.

I use the span option as you can see on my post here, I also use the style option to change the colour.
or you could use Linknotes plugin with Wordpress to put the translations in the web version of footnotes.
