I can't get it too work mate,first thing its hard to keep your cursor over it to click it because it just closes and when i eventually get to click it nothing happens.

[Digital Jedi]

Well, that might be the problem. Your not supposed to click it. It just opens when you move your mouse over it. vBulletin menus just open once you've already opened a window. For example, try opening a regular drop down, and you'll notice when move your mouse over any of the other ones, they open and close without clicking. If you click them, you close it again.

That's what's been happening here. Just mouse over the menu like you would any other kind of drop down menu, and the sub menu will automatically open. If you try to click it, your just going to turn the menu off.

Yeah when i put my mouse over it it closes tho.

Hi,
My main Language of my forum is Greek. I want to translate Greek to English...etc...!!! When I press the menu to translate my thread to English, the pop up does not translate anything, but it just shows me the Google translation page...!!! What should I change to the code so it can be functional from Greek to any other language???
Edit: Hmm another issue: ...I have the "Welcome" mod for guests to show them a message and invite them to register to the site...!!! it seems that if the mod translates something from the thread it just translate the welcome message - because google isn't a registered user and sees that message!!!! Is there a way to make the mod tranlate the thread correctly? :-)
(Still...when I press the english flag, it just shows me the Google translation page only and doesn't do any translation)

Thank you...!!! :-)

It shouldn't. Can I see a link to where you have it installed?

See post two of this thread. That's the alternative if you want more [LANGUAGE] to English options.

If you don't want all those options, you could also just remove the block of code marked <!--English--> in the first version and replace it with the line of code marked <!--English To Greek--> in Post 2. EDIT: (Yes, I just realized I have that entire menu marked wrong. They shoud all be marked [LANGUAGE] to English, not English to [LANGUAGE])

Unfortunately, no. Google can only translate what it can see. Or conversely, it will translate everything it sees. Basically this mod utilized 3rd party functionality, and as such, is limited by what the 3rd party offers. But I have presented the issue to Google. It remains to be seen when (or if) they'll get back to me.

(Still...when I press the english flag, it just shows me the Google translation page only and doesn't do any translation)

See above.

Thank you...!!! :-)

No problem.

Okay, minor wording problem on the Post 2 <!--comments--> fixed. That would not have affected performance at all. But it sure would have made support a bit more confusing then it already is.

Okay, I think I see the problem. It actually is opening. But it's opening way down towards the bottom of the next post. Remember in the instructions where I say that you may need to adjust this line margin-top:-308px to maintain the illusion that the menu is changing? That's what's happening here. The old menu is closing, but the new menu is opening in the wrong part of the screen.

I see you adjusted that line a little bit, setting -308 to -300. But actually, your going to need a larger negative number. Right now it looks like this:

Change the -300 to something like -600 and play around with that. Because everyone's styles are different, everyone will likely have to adjust that line to get it to line up just perfectly. The larger the negative number the higher it will go. The closer to 0 you get the lower it will go.

By the way, what browser are you using?

[Digital Jedi]

Ugh, apparently this is a browser compatibility thing. I just checked FireFox and it opens the menu in a completely different location. I can probably fix this. But I'll need some time.

[Lombardo]

so no point changing it?

[apiasto]

nice work,my question is could v add any other languages to the menu? thnx

[baghdad4ever]

thanks

I checked out again. Because guests can read (they have permissions) my forum that's not a problem for google(Google can see/read all the text needed)!!! Google just have "extra text" (the welcome message) to translate.... :-) :-) so everything is ok for guests and google !!!The only problem is that I have to change the From Language in First case of code..to Greek (the default is english)!!! The hover menu in second case, just don't work for me (I am using firefox). (and in general I think that many users will be confused too) I prefer to use the first case of code (the simplicity of the menu I mean) and not the alternative one.

I tested the second case (I added that "second case" part of code after the "Greek" in the first case of code - Not the alternative)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

And it works fine...!!!
The question is that I want to translate from Greek to any language
What should i do for the rest languages?

[Digital Jedi]

The alternative code, and this my fault really, as I didn't check FireFox before I went to bed last night, wont necessarily work for cross browsers. Both browser require different lines of code to align them similarly. And everything I've looked at so far just seems inelegant from what I had intended. This is really my fault also for trying to get fancy with code I'm not all that familiar with.

I think I have a much simpler, more elegant solution for folks, without trying to get all fancy and cute. It should actually provide a solution for everyone. Just give me a few to edit Post 2. If it gets to late tonight (6 AM here), I'll try to have a replacement up by Friday night, barring flood or famine (or just forgetting to pay my Internet bill =/ ).
