The code below, simplified from others on the Web to handle a single language pair, sends the current web page to Google for translation - and it works. However what I'm trying to do is to modify it so that it sends the URL of another page to Google instead (always the same different page - no user interaction required).

Unfortunately, while I can write a little php, I've really not much idea about what's going on here, and, after over an hour of puzzling, am not much closer to understanding what to change. If anyone is able to assist I'd be very greatful. The code so far is:

HTML Code:

<form action="http://www.google.com/translate" >
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write ("<input name=u value="+location.href+" type=hidden>")
// -->
</script>
<input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden">
<input name="ie" value="UTF8" type="hidden">
<input name="langpair" value="" type="hidden">
<input name="langpair" value="en|fr" title="French" onclick="this.form.langpair.value=this.value" height="20" type="image" width="30">
</form>

I should, perhaps, explain that I was originally using an ordinary html link to sending a URL to Google with the language pair for translation - very simple and effective. Unfortunately Google seem to have blocked this, and the above JavaScript method seems to be the best alternative - if only it can be persuaded to do what I need...

I hope that explains things?

Code:

<!--
document.write ('<input name=u value="http://domain.com/page_to_translate.html" type=hidden>')
// -->

Thanks Wirehopper.

That looks like it should work, but in practice it brings up page

Code:

http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&langpair=en|fr#

- i.e. the page for translation isn't being passed to Google.

For the avoidance of doubt, I now have the code

Code:

<form action="http://www.google.com/translate" > <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- document.write ('<input name=u
 value=""http://www.microsoft.com/ type=hidden>') // --> </script> <input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden"> <input name="ie"
 value="UTF8" type="hidden"> <input name="langpair" value="" type="hidden"> <input name="langpair" value="en|fr" title="French"
 onclick="this.form.langpair.value=this.value" height="20" type="image" width="30"> </form>

Any further ideas would be very welcome...

Sorry - missed the plus signs.

Code:

<!--
document.write ('<input name=u value="+http://domain.com/page_to_translate.html+" type=hidden>')
// -->

Also - check out the link from ruteckycs - the time you save may be well worth it.

Hi ,

Thanks for reply . But it is not working. Just do as i say in your site and you will get what is my problem.

In your site first change the laguage , than go to E-store demo. You will get it in changed laguage but now if you click on search the result page will be in english. Just check it.

Check it and if I am wrong make me correct.

Thanks any ways and if you have any other solution tell me.

Please post the code for the search call.

The translation will not work on the estore script search results because the entire page is generated by pulling data from a database. Its not a problem with my script, its that Google simply can not translate it because its pulled from a DB. if you note all the static pages translate fine as these are not pulled from a DB.

If you need a script that will translate dynamic pages 100% of the time then any Google based solution is not your answer.
