Brings the power of Google Website Translate into Drupal, providing an instant translated version of your site's text.
Convert any menu link into a google translate switch, that, on click, will show a dropdown with configured languages. This way we keep a lean user interface for those who do not need the translation option. Optionally, you can add the translate switch as a block instead.
Requirements
- Libraries module
- jQuery.DOMNodeAppear - see the project README for help identifying the branch compatible with your site's version of jQuery.
Usage
- Add a new link to any menu
- Add any text to the title, i.e. "Translate"
- Add this placeholder as the path:
<google-translate>
To configure the disclaimer message and available languages, go to /admin/config/system/google-translate
Comparison with Gtranslate
These two modules are similar but don't integrate with the same service. While Google Translator (this module) adds a simple widget to your website that does a simple machine translation of a single page on the spot using Google Website Translate, Gtranslate module provides integration with Gtranslate, a freemium service that leverages Google's translate but also adds a whole host of localization options.
