Introduction:
In this article i will explain the process of automatically translate the webpage to multiple languages. In this article you will get an idea on things like "What are the ways to for site visitors to see your webpages
in their own language , without having to go to separate translation site.
How to make visitors love your website even though they
don’t understand website language by adding language translation to your
website.How to make a website as Multilingual."
Description:
Making a website as Multilingual Enables visitors to read your content in their own language.
I suggest you first to be aware of the following things.
What is language translation for website and blogger?
It is process the
process of transforming our website content language into users browsers
default language. Either this process is automatic based on visitors location
or we externally giving opportunity for visitors by external plugin where user
chooses his language.
Why is this required for our websites?
If you are developing a website or blog and if your site is
targeted multiple countries or communities of people then this web translation
is required. Because of their native language is not same as our language.
What are different ways to add website translation your
site?
There are lot of free language translation tools available
on internet which convert our content into multiple languages on visitor
choice. Most popular free web-based language translation tools are offered by
Google, AltaVista babelfish and WorldLingo.
Using this tools web audience who
speak different languages like English,French,Spanish,German,Dutch,Chinese,Portuguese,Greek,Korean,Russian and
Japanese will be able to translate websites into their native language.
How much important it is?
If you are targeting different communities in the world then
this web translation is very important. How much it is important means over 65%
of web users speaking a language other than English providing this web
translation feature to your site is very very essential i thought.
How this web Translation feature increase your traffic or
helps in terms of Search Engine Optimization?
If you provide this feature on your website if any visitor came from other country if he
don’t understand English. Then using this feature he can translate into his
native language. If suppose he likes your content ultimately he travels through
other related posts on your site or blog he may bookmark your site.
Bookmarking
a site means ultimately your site is very much important for him. Even search
engines can not do this much help in terms of Seo i thought.
Now look into different approaches to integrate web
translation feature to your website:
Approach One:
This approach is like a conversion tools where these services
provide a translation box. Means to translate a webpage, you should enter
website Url in box, choose the source and target language and then click
translate button. Some tools are Word Lingo, Google Translate, Babel FishTranslate etc.
Approach Two:
In this approach you will place third party code in your
website (web service type) then automatically you will get this service on your
site. This is like plugin. You will get country icons in this plugins like this.
Different Third Party services are
1. Alta Vista Babel Fish:
This service is available in
English, German, Italian,Spanish,French and Portuguese. To integrate this
service in your site add following java script code to your website
<br/><script

2. Google Translate:

English, Spanish,Italian,Portuguese,German,Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
Remember to replace the value of variable “URL of your site” with your site
URL. This translated pages can be bookmarked.

I will suggest you to use this service
because Google indexes the URLs Translated by World Ling. This service

The above translation code is customized for
