Get to know it

Translate This is a Wordpress plugins that allows users to translate their posts and pages directly from the input form.

After installing it you will be able to open the translation menu from both the edit and the add new pages for posts and pages. Inside the translation menu you will have the possibility to choose in which language you want to translate (42 languages availables) your text and a short preview of what you will obtain.

The language you’re writing on is automatically detected, so you don’t have to specify it and obviously HTML tags are preserved by the system.

After choosing the language the preview will update automatically in a few seconds, depending on your connection speed. After you read the preview and agreed it is a good result you can confirm the translation tool to substitute your text with the translated one. If you’re not satisfied you can just undo your latest action ( CTRL+Z on the text area ) and you will came back to your original post.

Install It

Just download the file, extract the .zip and upload the translate-this folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.

Now login to your administration ( http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin ) and choose plugins from your left sidebar menu.

Look for Translate This in the Inactive Plugins list and click on ‘activate‘.

You’re done!

Use It

For more usage information please read the USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Using is even simplier then installing it. Just start a new article clicking on New Post ( top-left of the administration area), write something on your native language in the text area and then look for the flag icon located in the Upload/Insert row right before the text editor where you typed.

After clicking the flag a popup will appear, containing a simple select with all the languages supported by Google language tools. After the select you can see a preview of your text translated on the default language ( English ). If you want to translate your native post into any language just choose it from the select and allow some seconds to the script to update the preview.

After the script made its job, if you are satisfied on what it translated just press Send & Close which will translate the text into your editor and close the popup. If instead you want to close the window without making any change to your text just close the popup clicking on the big grey X at the top left of it.

  • I tried and got a page cannot be found when I opened the popup (the image in edit page also was not being shown)! I use WP 2.7.1 with K2-theme (RC7.2)
  • Hi Rajesh,

    unfortunately I uploaded a buggy version to wordpress. Please update your plugin to the latest one and everything should work fine.

    http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/translate...

    In this release you can find the fix both to the icon and to the popup paths. Sorry for the inconvenience... hope this fix will work for you.
  • Logo seems fixed. On clicking it I get below error in popup:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_options_page() in /home/content/n/r/a/nrajesh/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-contact-form-iii/wp-contactform-iii.php on line 288

    Any compatibility issues?
  • Yes that seems a compatibility issue with Contact Form ... I'll try to install it on my wordpress and I'll let you know if I can fix it.

    Thanks a lot for your testing and feeding back
  • Works great, thank you
  • Hi Rajesh,

    I think I solved the problem. Please try to install newest release from

    http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/translate-t...

    I think the problem was just an error of wp-contact-form-iii so to solve it I just inhibited it to load inside the popup.

    Let me know if it works fine for you.
  • Seems to work fine now.

    Also are you only going to stick with google's translate services or will user be given a choice (in future) to chose from more services (google is not ALWAYS the best you know) ;)

    Though I am not sure how frequently I'd use this, I think that this is always a nice feature to have in your blog. Good job!
  • Yes i'm planning to integrate other services as soon as possible. I think Babel fish will be the next one.

    Thanks again for your contribute
  • Хотел бы узнать по поводу вашего домера, blog.andreaolivato.net. Продается ли домен, и если да, то прошу ответитьь мне на прчту, а также отписаться в комментариях - вдруг спам фильтр не пропустит.
  • I don't speak Russian, please express it in english. I tried to translate but got no luck on understanding what you mean
  • This is a great plugin. You've done a good job Andrea. Thanks.
  • Hi Andrea,
    Really would love to work with your plugin, but I have an error:
    Warning: require_once(./wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/inc/widget.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/flash-mp3-player.php on line 27
    I have no idea what this means, but I can hardly belief that your plugin is ussing the same "something" as the mp3 flashplayer. (Also the button to translate in a page.. is grey.. i guess that is not the intention?)

    Help desired :)
  • chinawholesale
    Thanks for the article, it was a good read indeed
  • Hi Andrea, would you have this plugin updated for wordpress 2.8.4?
    I had it installed and now is just not working with the new version of wordpress.
    I'm also getting errors in the head of the pop-up window, apparently an incompatibility with StatPress?

    Thanks for any help.

  • Hi there,

    it's working fine here with 2.8.4 but honestly I didn't update it in anyway. I'll check with a fresh install and let you know.

    Unfortunately I can not read your errors, I believe the comment system took them away. Can you paste them somewhere or escape so that I can see them?

    Thanks a lot for your feedback, really appreciated.
  • Will it work for 100% of the text if articles of my blog are written in several languages?

    Thanks!
  • I really love this widget. I've tried to make my site as internationally friendly as possible and from everything I've tried, this is my favorite translation method. I enabled the status bar, which only makes everything look even cooler.

    As far as the actual translations go, I speak French, Spanish, and Italian and I was pretty pleased with the results.
  • Hi Andrea,
