Windows Live Translator For Your Website

Posted Nov 09 2007, 01:47 PM by ScottIsAFool with 13 comment(s)

Last week, the Translation team blog posted about an add-in for your website or blog that uses the Windows Live Translator. In their post they show you exactly how to use this add-in. First off go to the add-in page and choose the language your blog/website is in:

From that you get given the relevant code to put on your site/blog:

Just paste that code into your site and that will result in you having this:

With the available languages listed in the drop down.

As you may have noticed, we have now implemented this into our header bar next to the search box:

Thanks to Vasudev for the tip.

Whoa, that is really snazzy. But I think they should re-order the drop-down list; most people will think that the list is incorrectly displaying some characters (with the first option) and ignore it.

Alber1690, it has been arranged alphabetically (English) starting from Arabic and ending with Spanish. Yes I do agree for English speaking person, at first glance one may not understand what it is, so one may put a 'Translate' heading label above the tool.

But one will understand reading the drop down options in their Native language if available.

@Scøtt, I suggest to put a label like ' Windows Live Translator' above it , just like 'Search by Live Search' is put  for Search.

If you look on the right side of this website, from the main page, you can now translate this website from English to many different languages. It is a new 'widget' from Windows Live. The translation team announced it and posted about it here. There i

Also there's Windows Live Toolbar Translator Button.

Windows Live Toolbar Translator Button is available now at Windows Live Gallery. Install it and one click on the Translator button shows you the web page you are currently looking at along with its translation into up to 12 languages. You can use the button menu to select and change your translation languages after which it will remember your most recent selection.

The English viewer of an English web page likely would not need to see a translation in the first place. But if I came to this site as a - say - German user (with my system settings indicating that my UI is in German), I would actually not see the top (Arabic) option, but the German version "Diese Seite übersetzen" telling me in my mother tongue that I can get a free translation for the current page.

Since the web site owner does not know where their visitors come from, this seems to be the best way to provide appropriate reach to viewers from individual nationalities.

(You can easily try it out by changing your browser language settings to one for which the widget offers a translation :-)).
