Add Microsoft Translator Widget To Your Site

Everton | Jul 06, 2009 | Comments


I registered a few months ago for the Microsoft Translator beta a few months ago and I finally got my invite through today.  The code was very easy to generate and now translations are available for my site in nearly a dozen languages.  You can see the Microsoft Translator in action in my sidebar.

The approach taken by Microsoft is much better than the approach taken by many WordPress Plugins, that just create lots of duplicate pages that search engines don’t like.  The widget is also ultra-fast, and as far as I can tell very accurate.  However, if you speak any of the languages supported then please let me know.

So far, I’ve used my invitation to create widgets for 6 sites and I’m not sure how many are left, but I’m happy to share my spare invites.  Just leave me a comment below stating why you need a translator for your site.

    Hya Everton,


    Tested the Microsoft Translator and it looks not bad at all. The spanish translation is ok, but the hebrew one need some extra work :-).. maybe it's the right-to-left thing..

    I need a translator for my ning profile pages because I help folk from all the world to begin low-cost home businesses and given the world-wide economic climate, many people who do not speak English can use the Free Services I provide. I have a Babel Fish translator on my Google Blog but not everyone on ning networks can even click the text link I've provided to take them there because they don't understand... so that's why I'd like this widget. I filled out my form as of tonight after researching and being disappointed with the many failed java and other non-html and html mixtures which did not work...
