Automatic translation using google translator

Posted by: imran
in google API, javascript, php

If you want to give your site users to access your website content in different languages like spanish, dutch, german etc. automatically! then this simple script can do it in seconds using google translator. Best part is, you do not even need to know languages yourself!

<?php
$defaultLang = 'en';
 
/*
* Don't edit under here
*/
$hostname = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url = 'http://'.$hostname. htmlentities($_SERVER['REQUES
T_URI']);
?>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function DoTranslate(lang){ 
  if(lang == "<?=$defaultLang?>"){
  	  url = "<?=$url?>";
  }else{
  	  url = "http://209.85.135.104/translate_c?hl=
	  <?=$defaultLang?>&langpair=<?=$defaultLang?>
	  |"+lang+"&u=<?=$url?>";
  }
 
  eval("parent.location='"+url+"'");
}
//-->
</script>
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('en')">English</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('es')">Spanish</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('de')">German</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('it')">Italian</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('nl')">Dutch</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('pt')">Portuguese</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('zh-CN')">Chinese Simplified</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('el')">Greek</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('ar')">Arabic</a> | 
<a href="javascript:DoTranslate('ru')">Russian</a>

I added 10 languages (English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese Simplified, Greek, Arabic, Russian) for my project but you can add more languages that google translator support. Please visit google translator site for more reference.

For any advise/help please contact with me.

Thanks…

[Note: Please do understand that the translations are dependent on the quality of language in your site in terms of grammar and spelling. ]
