Translate my page with google translate

As we all know the world is getting multilingual,in our daily lives, specially on internet we find the things which are in another language and we need a way to translate it into the language we understand

As we all know about Google Translate is the place we all will go and paste the content that we want to translate,but what if we have power of that tool into our website or web page,yes it is possible with GOOGLE TRANSLATE (which is able to translate the page into more than 50 languages) to have that integrated into your own website,today we will see how with example



This tool is available from quite sometimes now,but the point is very less of the people from developer community are aware of this,so the reason behind this post is to show how any developer can make use of it and make it so simple to translate their pages...


The process...


The only need to have the power of translation on your website is copy and paste snippet of following code into your web page

<div id="google_translate_element">
</div>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit">
</script>

Just put above snippet in your HTML mark up and run the page,you will get standard google translator logo as well as few options which we are interested in right now,see the image below




now you have the full control over language change,just select the language from available languages and see how google translate it for you

What if i do not want to translate some of the content???
Now question comes is what if there are certain portion which you do not want to translate and you want to keep it as it is,so that fix is also there,say there is copyright text or email address which you want to keep as it is,so you just have to add one CSS class to it and gogle will take care of it like following

Contact us at <span class="notranslate">daivagnas@gmail.com</span>

Now if you do not want to translate whole page so just add following

<meta name="google" value="notranslate"></meta>

I was quite amazed with the power which google provides,i hope you also do...i hope this post was useful


To see live demo just have a look at the gadget on this page at top-right-most corner

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help other people 2
