So what is it this time? Imagine you owning a website with information useful to everyone around the world. But how can you reach out to everyone when there are so many different languages all around. Neither can you hire a translator and create different versions of the website, that would be cumbersome and time taking. Here is where Google Translator come in picture.

What is Google Translator for website?

Its pretty simple and ingenious. Once you enable google translator on your website, if the user’s language is not as same as your website’s, they will get a bar on the top where they can select the language they want the website to be translated in. And then voila, google will translate the website there itself. So you will be able to widen your reach and userbase. How cool is that?!

How is it implemented?

Well Google Website Translator Gadget is powered by Google Translate, will enable your website to be translated into 51 languages. This is what the Google Blog says,

Now, when people visit your page, if their language (as determined by their browser settings) is different than the language of your page, they’ll be prompted to automatically translate the page into their own language. If the visitor’s language is the same as the language of your page, no translation banner will appear.

So try it out today, add the feature to your websites and go global. 🙂
