Translate a Blog to English

Previously, the author posted about how to add Language Translation Script into blog, Google Language Tools & Yahoo! Babel Fish. The thing is, not every blog is written in English & a blogger happen to have one written in another language, he/she can have a translation tool on site to translate it into English.

Google Language Tool is able to translate Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish sites into English.

How to Do?

1) Go to the Google Language Tools site & then key in your Blog URL at the place red circled as shown in the picture below. Choose the languages, eg. "Chinese to English" & then click "Translate".

2) Once click "Translate", it will automatically be linked to the translated page. Copy the translated page URL in the browser as it is needed for placing this URL into the HTML code.

5) Replace the red "translated page URL" with your blog's translated URL. Save and refresh the blog.
