Your blog or website, most probably they will be in English and of course, only people who know English can read your blog and what about the people who don’t know this language. They may be French, Spanish and so. You don’t want only English readers to check your blog right? Don’t worry we have another solution from our friend Google. There are many solutions to a problem and 75% of this solution will surely comes from Google. This is my opinion. Let it be for Creating My Mobile Site or SMS Subscription Service. I found the solutions for both of them from Google. Now here is another one, simpler than those two.
Using Google, you can instantly translate your blog/website from language to another language. These links use Google’s Language Tools for translating your blog’s content into one of eight different languages available. You can add instant translation links to your blog or website by creating a link similar to the one below.
You can use the following link for translating your blog and replace the details in bold with your own details.

If you want to be more professional and localize your blog properly in several languages, you should try using an online localization tool. I recommend https://poeditor.com/, it’s simple to use and has a nice trial period.
i have used one translation tool in my blog..but pradeep the translation you get is too hilarious…
Well, all depends on your audience. If you just want to be understandable, use google but it will give your blog a cheap feel. Google translations are better than most but still pretty painful to read. I prefer to write my blog in French & English (although there are still readers who don’t get it and who translate with google. They must wonder why the article is written once in horrible English and again in proper English 😀

Do you know how well does it work with a drupal blog?
This is really cool! Love it! I have seen some blogs that are not yet on English or do not have this. This will frustrate those possible readers as they wont be able to understand that article.
I think this is really a good way to make others to visit our blog.. i mean who doesn’t know English, So tat everyone can read our articles..

get some one who knows this translated language to read it for you. It would sound hilarious. Believe me. I have tried it.
Hey I think there is some problem with this buddy ! The link is not going directly to the site.. let me check it ! 😉
Are you suggesting this or have you ever tried it? We have google translate option for English to arabic on our site. but what it does is transliteration not translation.
I tried it once in my old blog and it indeed worked like a charm buddy ! 😉
