私たちは多様な言語に満ちた世界に生きている。言語学者の推定によれば、世界にはおよそ6,000~7,000種類の言語が存在するという。
多くの人が英語を理解していても、閲覧者の多くが他の言語を話す場合は、サイトを翻訳する価値があります。コンテンツを翻訳することで、誰もがあなたの提供する情報にアクセスし、理解できるようになります。
WordPress開発者に関するコンテンツを検索していると、フランスやロシアのブログで優れたコンテンツに出くわすことがある。そして、たとえ完璧でなくても、Google翻訳を使って意味を理解することがよくある。
この投稿では、WordPressサイトにGoogle翻訳を追加する方法を説明します。これにより、より多くのユーザーにリーチし、英語を話さないユーザーのユーザーエクスペリエンスを向上させることができます。

もし、文書による説明がお望みなら、このまま読み進めていただきたい。
WordPressにGoogle翻訳を追加する
まず最初に行う必要があるのは、Google Language Translatorプラグインをインストールして有効化することです。
プラグインを有効化した後は、設定 ” Google Language Translatorにアクセスしてプラグインを設定します。
プラグインの状態」の横のチェックボックスにチェックが入っていることを確認してください。
その後、サイトの初期設定言語と翻訳可能な言語を選択する必要があります。
では、ページをスクロールダウンして「言語切り替え設定」セクションを見つけましょう。
ここでは、スイッチャーの外観をカスタマイズすることができます。あなたのサイトのフローティング翻訳ウィジェットをカスタマイズすることができます:
- 表示するかどうかの選択
- ポジションの選択
- サイズの調整
- サイトのデザインに合わせて文字色を変更します。
Google Language Translatorプラグインの設定をカスタマイズしたら、WordPressサイトに公開しましょう。
もう少し下にスクロールすると、WordPressサイトにスイッチャーを埋め込むための簡単なガイドがあります。ページ下部の「変更を保存」ボタンのすぐ前にあります。
指示に従うだけで、あなたのサイトにGoogle Language Translatorが埋め込まれます。
ページを閉じる前に「変更を保存」ボタンをクリックすることをお忘れなく。
注: 公開した後、Google翻訳でユーザーがあなたのサイトの翻訳版を読み、自分で翻訳できることに気づくかもしれません。
このように、読者はGoogle翻訳に改善点を提案することで、どのページでも機械翻訳の改善に貢献することができます。実際、読者数が多ければ、サイト全体をボランティアに翻訳してもらうことも可能です。
この投稿が、あなたのWordPressサイトにGoogle翻訳を追加するのにお役に立てば幸いです。次に、WordPress プラグインをあなたの言語で翻訳する方法と、専門家が選ぶ最高の右から左への WordPress テーマのガイドをご覧ください。

Hi. I tried to add the floating widget of google translate on my company’s website and chose punjabi language for translation, the main language being english. But the flag icon for punjabi is a Pakistani flag. We require an Indian flag since we are of Indian Nationality and Punjabi is spoken in Punjab state of India. Please help

Hi Team,
Google Language Translator plug in is also changing the name of my website that is there in the header of my website created on Wordpress.
Can you please let me know how I can disable it from translating the name of my website.
Regards,
Pooja
WPBeginner Support
Hi Pooja,
You can stop Google Translate from translating a specific phrase by adding
notranslate
css class. For that you’ll need to edit your theme files or create a child theme.Inside your theme files, you need to locate the header.php file and find the line that displays your site’s title. Let’s assume that it looks like this:
1-click Use in WordPress
You need to change it to this:
1-click Use in WordPress
Hope this helps.

Hi I want to Make this Plugin Activate Arabic language Onload. How i can do that???
Bo
Just installed the plug-in and everything is working fine, though I’d like to improve the translation for the languages I do know. However, both when I am logged and checking out my site on a private browser, I am not able to change the translation myself.
The plug-in page seems to suggest this is only possible in their Premium version. Is there a workaround or something I am missing?
Thank you!
WPBeginner Support
Visit the Google Translate website directly in a separate browser window. In the translate box, paste the URL of your website. Select the language you want to translate it to and hit the translate button. You should now be able to select text and improve translation.

Hi, is there a way to Ad the google translate widget somewhere in the header or top right(/left) corner?
I am very new to all of this and I have no knowledge of coding
Thank you
Kenneth Adair
I love this plugin but the flags disappear when my sites fully open. That is to say I can see the flags until the site has fully opened and than all that is visible is the language box with a blank space where the flags were. The wordpress raindrops theme I am using is supposedly compatible!
But I also installed it on an obsolete them that doesn’t even show up anymore on wordpress named Techozoic and it works 100% and I can’t wait to see the customers it may bring me.

Have you or has any one reading this article tried / used the premium WordPress Multilingual Plugin from WPML
Are there any advantages to buying this plugin over using the free Google Translator plugin?
WPBeginner Support
WPML allows you to manually translate your own site in multiple languages. On the other hand, Google Translate is an machine translation service.

Hello how can translate add top right or left corner thank you..

Use these tags, for center, for left, or for right.
Place one of those tags in front of the shortcode or PHP code. Then use a closing tag like this, , , or
Place one of the closing tags at the end of your Shortcode or PHP code.

I have created a blog on “The Twenty Ten Theme. Blog at WordPress.com.” https://mc1a.wordpress.com/
I watched the Video Tutorial, read “Adding Google Translate in WordPress” and I cannot find the word “Plugin” anywhere on my dashboard.
The words “Plugins and Installed plugins” DO NOT appear anywhere on my dashboard.
How do I add “plugins and installed plugins” on my dashboard.
Can someone help please.
Thanks

Hi Matteo,
You are using WordPress.com which is very different from WordPress.org. See our comparison:

Having tried a few different methods to create multi-lingual sites this seems the best. Manage the translations and have them done properly, and only in the languages you need and its great. I don’t think it is particularly good if your site is in Googlish, so make sure you only add languages you have translations for and its all good

Interesting – is therу a way to insert exact translate textarea boxes from Google Translator? For example – I have multilingual form for clients. And they have to fill it up in different languages, but if they don’t know one, then translation with google translate is acceplable. So, would be interesting to have google translate on site available for only form fields. Any idea?))
WPBeginner Staff
Yes you can simply add a class=”notranslate” attribute to the company name and Google will not translate it.
For example:
<h1 class="notranslate">Company Name</h1>

Hello
Google translation is find but I like to prevent the translation of my company name. Is this possible ? (using WordPress plugin)

I have to insert to each page ?. Is there is translate plugin in for all page, ie in header ?
Hammad Rafique
Is there any other plugin, which works just like google translate for chrome? I mean, it changes the site’s content according to country’s IP address? If I open my blog from France then its content should be in french?
Krish Murali Eswar
It would be useful, for all your posts, to include a set of demo screen shot pre- and post-installation of plugins that you cover. Demo screen shot of how the plugin works will make our lives lot easier to decide for/against the use of plugin.

when I choose English to translate everything works ok, but when I choose Spanish to return to the original page I added in below the names of the categories and texts not translate well.
Help me , please

Ehm.. if it really is better then nothing, shouldn’t it be used on wpbeginner as well?
Editorial Staff
No because most of our users use Chrome browser which automatically loads Google Translate for them if their default language is something other than English.
管理者
Lee Johnson
As a linguist I have to agree that Google Translate can complicate matters. I would suggest f you cannot have dedicated pages in chosen language(s) then use Google Translate but add a rider saying that Google Translate is only a program and not perfect.

I just uninstalled the global translation plugin after reading write up on SEO’s issues – duplicated contents and so forth. SO this is nothing like that, right? Btw if I were to create my own translated page, is it wise to do it in subdomain ie www.(MyUrlAddress).com/English or is it better to do it on different domain. Thanks
Editorial Staff
No this plugin has no impact on your SEO because it is only doing things on user side of things. If you were to create your own translated domain, then both subdomains or directory works fine.

Hi
Thanks to all for replying. I will activate the tool then , better to have something than nothing and will work on the translations soon. Thanks
p.s: yes, some translations to (my native language) do sound ugly, especially the categories and tags
Bernard Loo
Google translator is better than nothing, but it can be misleading. Besides most languages have different structures: verbs are not placed in the same order.
Editorial Staff
Totally agreed Bernard. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing

I can not agree. Translation from English to German is not “better than nothing”. It’s just horrable. In most cases it’s not even possible to guess the meaning of an article.
I can’t tell if it’s that worse in other languages too, but for EN DE it’s a No-Go.
