Så här lägger du till Google Translate i WordPress

Vi lever i en värld fylld av olika språk. Språkforskare uppskattar att det finns mellan 6 000 och 7 000 olika språk i världen.

Även om många människor förstår engelska kan det vara värt att översätta din webbplats om en stor del av din publik talar ett annat språk. Översättning av innehåll säkerställer att alla kan komma åt och förstå den information du tillhandahåller.

När vi söker efter innehåll om WordPress-utveckling kan vi snubbla över utmärkt innehåll på franska eller ryska bloggar. Och vi använder ofta Google Translate för att förstå det, även om det inte är perfekt.

I den här artikeln visar vi hur du lägger till Google Translate på din WordPress-webbplats. På så sätt kan du nå en bredare publik och förbättra användarupplevelsen för icke-engelsktalande.

Om du föredrar skriftliga instruktioner kan du fortsätta läsa.

Lägga till Google Translate i WordPress

Det första du behöver göra är att installera och aktivera pluginet Google Language Translator.

När du har aktiverat pluginet ska du gå till Inställningar ” Google Language Translator för att konfigurera pluginet.

Google Language Translator plugin settings

Se till att kryssrutan bredvid ”Plugin Status” är markerad.

Därefter måste du välja webbplatsens standardspråk och de språk som du vill ska vara tillgängliga för översättning.

Selecting languages

Låt oss nu rulla ner till sidan för att hitta avsnittet ”Inställningar för språkomkopplare”.

Här kan du anpassa switcherns utseende och känsla. Du kan anpassa den flytande översättningswidgeten på din webbplats genom att:

  • Att välja om det ska visas eller inte
  • Välja dess position
  • Justera dess storlek
  • Ändra textfärgen så att den matchar webbplatsens design.
Customizing switcher's design

När du har anpassat inställningarna för Google Language Translator-pluginet är det dags att publicera det på din WordPress-webbplats.

Om du nu scrollar ner lite längre hittar du en snabbguide för att bädda in switchers på din WordPress-webbplats. Du hittar den precis innan knappen ”Spara ändringar” längst ner på sidan.

A quick guide for embedding Google Language Translator

Följ bara instruktionerna, så har du Google Language Translator inbäddad på din webbplats.

Glöm inte att klicka på knappen ”Spara ändringar” innan du lämnar sidan.

Obs: Efter publiceringen kanske du märker att Google Translate låter användarna läsa en översatt version av webbplatsen och översätta den själva.

På så sätt kan dina läsare till och med hjälpa till att förbättra maskinöversättningen av en sida genom att föreslå förbättringar för Googles översättning. Om du har många läsare kan du faktiskt få hela din webbplats översatt av frivilliga.

Vi hoppas att den här artikeln hjälpte dig att lägga till Google Translate på din WordPress-webbplats. Därefter kanske du vill kolla in vår guide om hur du översätter ett WordPress-plugin till ditt språk och våra expertval av de bästa höger-till-vänster WordPress-temana.

    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:

      <h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
      

      You need to change it to this:

      <h1 class="site-title notranslate"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
      

      Hope this helps.

    Hi I want to Make this Plugin Activate Arabic language Onload. How i can do that???

  15. 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.

  17. Ayman SABRA

    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

  18. 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.

  19. Anthony

    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..

    • Alex

      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.

  21. Matteo Coné

    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
    Matteo

    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

    Simon

  23. RomanMorenets

    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?))

  24. 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"&gtCompany Name</h1>

  25. Pierre Pascual

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

  26. website4all.net

    I have to insert to each page ?. Is there is translate plugin in for all page, ie in header ?

  27. 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?

  28. 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.

  29. Ana

    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

  30. Ron Klaren

    Ehm.. if it really is better then nothing, shouldn’t it be used on wpbeginner as well? :-D

    • 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.

      Administratör

  31. 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.

  32. ros

    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.

      Administratör

      • Rose

        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 :)

  33. 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 :)

      Administratör

    • Karsten

      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.
