Additional "[Language] to..." Options (Step 2A)
If you would like more then the basic "English to..." functionality, add the block(s) of code of your choice underneath (or instead of) the code you added in Step 2. Then proceed to Step 3 in the first post.

*************UNDER DEVELOPMENT***********

First of all -- you're my official hero for the day. I was about to sign out for the day, but had to install this first. I really want to branch out to reach other languages but I haven't found an easy solution. This will work great!

A couple of things you should fix in your code.

1) You need to add </table></div> right before <!-- / Language Translator Menu -->.

2) For the links that need to be changed to your forum, some of them say www.YOURSITE.NET and some say www.cogonline.net.

3) The Greek flag is missing from the zip file.

Again, great mod!! Thanks!

[Digital Jedi]

Whoops. So much for proof reading. Thanks ChurchMedia. I'll correct that right away.

EDIT: Fixed both the lack of the closing tags, the demo URLs and added the missing Greek Flag to the zip. I'd forgotten Google added Greek.

Yes, you can adjust the window size by editing each instance of width=800,height=800. But bear in mind that your users are all using different browser resolutions, and anything too much larger then 800px will create a window larger then the screen for some users.

No problem. Don't forget to click "Install".

Thanks much. Do you mean the Google window, or the page the menu is on? The menu shouldn't slow the page load at all, but Google's translation service can take a moment, and longer if their server is busy (which seems to be the case late at night, at least, locally.)

The English link is there as a courtesy mainly. The way Google's "Translate a Web Page" works is it has to know what language your translating to and from. So it is possible to get it to translate to English, but the starting language would always have to be the same, meaning ALWAYS Spanish to English or ALWAYS Dutch to English, etc. Likely not practical to most forums.

I may be able to come up with an modification to the modification (I just like saying that) that adds all of Google's [Insert Language] to English options. But it may take me a bit to make it practical and user friendly. I'll look into it.

I have installed this mod. I also have vbseo installed and it doesn't play very friendly with the mod. I get red x's where images should be. Anyway of making this vbseo friendly?

Thanks,

Not without knowing more about vBSEO. My first impression though, presuming the link in your profile is the correct site, is that it's Google causing the problem and not a conflict with the two mods, per se. I took one of your threads and copy and pasted the URL into Google's "Translate a Web Page" directly, and it did the same thing. Apparently, each time it translates a page it thinks the images are in the same directory as your thread. So, for example, if there's a post icon in a thread in General Chat, Google thinks the icon is located at:

/general-chat/images/icons/icon10.gif

Rather than where it actually is, in:

/images/icons/icon10.gif

Same thing for an image in NHRA. It tacks /nhra just after the .com. I hate to leave it at that, but unless I know more about how vBSEO formats your threads, I'm afraid this is one of those "don't know" questions. For now anyway. I'll do my best to look into it.

Lombardo, and to anyone else interested, I added an alternative version of the mod that should do what you asked. Please see Post 2 for more information and let me know this works for you.
