I know, I know its an Iframe but it works.

That's great. I'm glad you posted it here in case anyone encouters the same problem. Hey, I've always thought Iframes were awesome.

Now to move it into the Navbar so all pages can be translated. This would be handy for everyone with the VBadvanced CMPS portal system like myself. Make all global pages translatable. Also need to look into a fix for the ended session when translated. Any ideals.

Give me just a couple of days, and I'll post the vBadvanced version of this. In order to get the benefit from it in the Navbar, you would need completely different code in the URL area. It's not hard, just different based on your needs.

[Scalemotorcars]

That would be awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

[Scalemotorcars]

Any luck yet? I haven't had the time myself but Ill give it a wack sometime this week if you don't have the time either.

[Scalemotorcars]

I'm not having any luck with this.

To recap. I'm trying to get this to work from any .com page. Especially with the vbadvanced CMPS pages and the forum.

Its easy enough to add the Language button to the navbar but I cant get the rest of the code to work from that location. Any ideals???

There's a slight bug with the one I'm working with. It worked earlier, but I noticed that it didn't like some modifications to my portal page. I'm trying to work that out to see if it's the new HTML I added, or on Google's end.

[paulvev]

my forum has a tiny bit of flash in the header...this modification gives me a white page on the google popup saying "Google error - Server Error - Please try again in 30 seconds" but its not working at all ?

Any suggestions?

[Digital Jedi]

It probably means just that. An internal server error. In fact, I believe Google was having some problems earlier today. Try again later on and it should work fine.

[paulvev]

Think so? Im not sure...its been 24 hours now and the server error is still showing each time i try to translate.

Going in via google, its translation of web page services (directly) seems to be working ok? Anybody got any ideas...i'd love this on my forum...i have people from 28 different countries!

Is there a way that the popup can show just the thread or post, rather than the header/navbar?
Im sure the problem lies in my flash header or complex navbar.

[Digital Jedi]

Hrm, that sounds odd. Have you tried the workaround ScaleMotoreCars tried? He was having trouble with his flash banner as well.

By the way, I think I've almost got the bugs on that vBa module worked out. But I can't be sure it will work for every forum until you try it out. So consider it a Beta.

I also have the Limited Guest hack installed. I turned it off
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...=Limited+Guest

still didnt work. My forum is set up for guests to be able to view posts.
I do have a tiny bit of flash in my header..

you can see whats happening here :

The language menu opens up fine, but the google translation page struggles and gives a "google internal server error"...although i know its not google, cos all the examples including your demo are actually working right now.

I'm using Firefox... but it doesnt work in IE too.
Im pretty stuck now to be honest. Any ideas?

That's some great shit! I can't use it, but I love it!

I'm thinking it is Google. It's just having a problem with your site in particular. You wouldn't get a server error message if it was on your end. I suggest disabling your hacks one by one, and trying each time to see which one might be causing the problem. I'd start with your advertisements first, and see if it's the flash causing the problem. Google is having a problem processing something and it's causing an error on their end.

Why, thank you.

[Scalemotorcars]

Google doesn't like the flash get around JS script. I took a quick look at your site and noticed your flash gets around the active-X. So however your doing that I bet thats your problem.

[Digital Jedi]

Sorry this took so long. Just been busy.

This will create a vBadvanced module on your home page. Let's test this first and make sure it works for everyone, before we tackle a module for all your pages and the additional language options.

Step 1
(For vBadvanced 3.0.0) Go to Admin CP >>> vBa CMPS >>> Add Module>>>Template Module

Step 2

Name the module what you will. I named mine Translate this Page. The important options to set are as follows. You can set the others to whatever you wish.

Template to Include: translate_page

Template Content:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Use Module Wrapper Template: No

Step 3
Replace each instance of YOURDOMAIN.COM with the location of your forum.

Step 4
After setting your other settings to preference, save the module and when prompted, add it to the page your using as your home page.

And that should do it. The rest can be set to your customizations. When you wish to edit the appearance and the code of the module, you will go to your Style Manager and edit the template named adv_portal_translate_page. Here's mine in action: www.cogonline.net

Thank You so much for writing this code. It is going to help our research like you would not believe. I have just worked on this for around an hour (I am really new to this code stuff). But I did get it working correctly. Now if I could just figure out what I did wrong with the Mp3 player

Check out my Forum: http://www.bigfootreferenceguide.com/index.php

You guys are geniuses in my book. I was just noticing the update to add to the Template Module. This will not overwrite what I have just done, correct? This will be for the next Forum Skin that I build?
