Translation WordPress Plugin Using Google Translate
I have released a stable version 1.3 which is working fine with PHP 5. There are some issues with PHP 4. I am working on that and hopefully I will be able to release a version working with PHP 4.
This plugin is working excellent for me and I have got some feedback from some other users who have downloaded this plugin and are using it.
What does this plugin do?
As you know that there and different languages used on the world wide web and you get visitors from different country. If you are able to offer the translation in different languages, it will be of real use to your visitors. Translating all your pages to more than 20 International languages manually are practically impossible for a blogger or any individual. There are translation engines which provide this service and I have used the Google Translation API in this plugin.
Even though these engines do the translation work, the translation received needs to formatted properly to display the output as the same as the original ones. I have worked a lot on this and tried to put up the translation results the best way it can. I know that there are some issues, but its acceptable.
This plugin does the following
- You can translate more than 20 International languages.
- The translation can be done by the visitor using an option selection or just clicking the languages link.
- AJAX is used, so the translation is provided instantly without the page reload.
- Every language has a permanent page and the page is stored in the database for future use. If you have made some changes to your post, you can clear the caches and get the new translation done
- As all the translated pages has a Permanent link, your pages are indexed by the search engines.
Installation
Installation is very simple, just upload the unzipped files to the plugins directory and activate the plugin.
To create pages for each language, you need to modify the single.php file as given below
|
1 |
<h2 <span style="color: #0000ff">class</span>=<span style="color: #006080">"title"</span>><a title=<span style="color: #006080">"Permanent Link to <?php $_REQUEST['lang'] ? print translateTitleFromCache($post->ID,$_REQUEST['lang']) : the_title(); ?>"</span> href=<span style="color: #006080">"<?php the_permalink() ?>"</span> rel=<span style="color: #006080">"bookmark"</span>><?php $_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>] ? print translateTitleFromCache($post->ID,$_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>]) : the_title(); ?></a><span <span style="color: #0000ff">class</span>=<span style="color: #006080">"date"</span>><?php the_time(<span style="color: #006080">'d M'</span>); ?></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<? <span style="color: #0000ff">if</span> (function_exists(<span style="color: #006080">'printPR'</span>)) printPR(); ?> </h2> |
|
1 |
<?php <span style="color: #008000">//if (function_exists('printLangList')) printLangList(); ?> </span> |
|
1 |
|
1 |
<div <span style="color: #0000ff">class</span>=<span style="color: #006080">"entry"</span>> |
|
1 |
<?php <span style="color: #0000ff">if</span>($_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>]) { |
|
1 |
<span style="color: #0000ff">if</span> (function_exists(<span style="color: #006080">'googleTranslate'</span>)) googleTranslate($_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>],$post->ID); |
|
1 |
} <span style="color: #0000ff">else</span> { |
|
1 |
the_content(); |
|
1 |
} |
|
1 |
?> |
To generate titles in the translated language, you need to modify the header.php file as given below
|
1 |
<?php <span style="color: #0000ff">if</span> ( is_single() ) { |
|
1 |
<span style="color: #0000ff">if</span>($_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>]) { |
|
1 |
echo translateTitleFromCache($post->ID,$_REQUEST[<span style="color: #006080">'lang'</span>]); |
|
1 |
} |
|
1 |
<span style="color: #0000ff">else</span> { |
|
1 |
wp_title(<span style="color: #006080">''</span>); |
|
1 |
} ?>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<?php bloginfo(<span style="color: #006080">'name'</span>); |
|
1 |
} |
|
1 |
?> |

After activating the plugin, just go to the setting link , you will find the Kish Translate settings link Once you go
to the settings, you will find all the options to customize the view of the “Kish Translate” Widget and select the

And Iam also not sure why Iam not getting the lang in the link, on mouse over the langauge rather it is pointing to ##
Avinash – thats because of the PHP Version json_decode() is in PHP 5. I guess you are using PHP 4, I have a patch for this, but I have not tested it as I have my servers with PHP 5.2. Please download this and overwrite the exisisting files

Excellent plugin, Great job
Its not translating but giving an option clear cache, clear cache all
on clear cache it says Error clearing cache..DELETE FROM wp_kish_translate WHERE pageid = 85 AND langid = ‘fr’ LIMIT 1
on clear cache all, it says error cleaning cache,
check if needed
Avinash, I am unable to Debug as I do not have PHP 4. Its works perfectly with the latest version of PHP.
Its ok Kishore, thanks for your efforts.My hosting is still on php 4.2.4, so shall try the plugin later.
Hi,
is it can overload the hosting space ?
@rivermaya – No, there are no chances of overloading the hosting space. The file are very small
I thought because it will generate many languages for each post it will overloading hosting space ..
this is great plugin, thanks Kishore ..
@rivermaya – it creates pages in the DB and you have an option to clear the cached pages if you feel that your DB size is increasing. I am using this plugin for posts about 1000 and its not giving any trouble
good article, very useful.
Hi Kish,
I love the idea and i installed the plugin.
Unfortunately it shows blank after translation.
You can check my site using the link above
Leon – which version of php are you using? Does your server has curl library enabled?
Hi Kishore,
I have on the (CentOs) system:
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3
php.i386 5.1.6-15.el5 installed
from php info:
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5
Installing curl-devel and a restart of the httpd didn’t help
Regards
Leon
Leon – need to check, it should work for sure.
Thanks Kishore, Great job.
Nice plugin, using it on one of my sites!
However, on the second of my sites it does not work.
Getting this error when trying your plugin:
Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: Unable to access cookie in ../wp-content/plugins/kish-translate-ajax/googleTranslateTool.class.php on line 182
Running PHP 4.4.4.
Got any ideas?
-Tajger – I am sorry, I have not tested in php 4.4, and you need the curl library enabled on your server, you can ask your hosting company to do this.
Hi Kishore, it’s me again
I just found that the translated always repeat the original title without translating it. I tried remove few codes within but nothing change.
and why the border for drop down country in that site is different (too long) than I installed on other site ?
kindly look at my site, please ..
thank you
-rivermaya, I think its because of the template, can you try setting the width of the option box in the funtions.php file
.optionlang {
font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
width:30px; /*Add this line */
}
thank you for the width code, it’s work
I’m still figuring out about the repeated title within the template code, at least not too big
-rivermaya, you can change that by editing the h1 tag. Its in line number 530, 540 and 544 of the functions.php file. You can change to either or what every your like or suits your page
great, all things fine now
thanks for the support

Hi, I’ve added the plugin to my site (www.vareseautonoma.net/blog/) but i can’t see the widget to select the language… What’s the matter?
Have you enabled the plugin in the settings. Please go the setting of Kish Translate and enable. Also please check if you have done the modifications for the theme
Hi Kish!
I added the codes to the header.php but I dont have the single.php because it is a custom page so my programmer of the theme said that single.php and index.php that he made is the same so I added the code to index.php but I dont see the widget showing. I also enabled the theme and have the settings updated.

Thanks So Much
this sounds like a great plugin. However I’m not able to get it working.
I put that code in my template files and when i click to translate to a different language it brings me back to my home page but with a url like http://www.website.com/translation/es/post-title.html and everything is still in english. and when i check the folder i created for this plugin ‘translation” there is nothing in there..
could this by my hosting ? or have i setup something wrong.
Thanks!
I always read your amazing website every week, its great fun and got lots of interesting information to take in and lots of interesting articles.
the widget is not appearing in the widgets section, and how do i have to modify the single and header php files, do i have to place the code in some place or sustitute anything?
English is availabe in the drop down list – The text disappears because you blog back ground is black, this can be corrected by editing the fade function, change the color to a light color
mb_convert_encoding should be enabled in the php
