Here is a small mod, just save this a asp file and include it in your page where you want the translator to appear.
<form name="BABEL" action="http://world.altavista.com/tr?" method="get" target=_self">
<input type="hidden" name="tt" value="url">
<input type="hidden" name="text" value=""</input>
<input type="hidden" value="doit" name="done">
<input type="hidden" value="http://<%=Request.ServerVariables("Server_Name")%><%=Request.ServerVariables("Script_Name")%>?<%=Request.ServerVariables("Query_String")%>" name="url">
Translator:<br>
<select>
<option value="en_zh" >English to Chinese</option>
<option value="en_fr" SELECTED>English to French</option>
<option value="en_de" >English to German</option>
<option value="en_it" >English to Italian</option>
<option value="en_ja" >English to Japanese</option>
<option value="en_ko" >English to Korean</option>
<option value="en_pt" >English to Portuguese</option>
<option value="en_es" >English to Spanish</option>
<option value="zh_en" >Chinese to English</option>
<option value="fr_en" >French to English</option>
<option value="fr_de" >French to German</option>
<option value="de_en" >German to English</option>
<option value="de_fr" >German to French</option>
<option value="it_en" >Italian to English</option>
<option value="ja_en" >Japanese to English</option>
<option value="ko_en" >Korean to English</option>
<option value="pt_en" >Portuguese to English</option>
<option value="ru_en" >Russian to English</option>
<option value="es_en" >Spanish to English</option>
</select>
<input type="Submit" alt="translator" value="Change " border="0">
</form>
Translations not always great, but it does ok with some pages.
Options:
<option> can be removed if you only want certain languages
I edit and remove site specific stuff, will work straight away.
Enjoy,

| Yes it will, and a handy little mod for basic translations anywhere on a website. |

Not really :) my site is on aspplayground.net and so is very bandwidth limited.
It basically displays a form dropdown element with 'translate' button (all one line) upon choosing a language pair and clicking the button, it opens a new window with the babel translation.
you can change the _self input in the code to whatever window you need, if for example you are using modeless window it can be made to not display altavista banner.
But that is naughty.

It should also be possible to use the babel fish translation as a hyperlink.
I will try this and get back to this topic when I have done so, that way we can have flags and stuff too to handle this.

| Hmm from that example I thought the output was quite good.. ok you get a banner frame, but seemed ok. |

<input type="hidden" name="text" value=""</input>
Is that line right? I am pretty sure thats not valid html. Should probably replace </input> with a >. (Looks like you might have accidentally search and replacd it?) |

I changed it a bit:
I named it inc_dyntrans.asp & included it in footer.asp
Here's what I used:
<form name="TRANS" action="http://world.altavista.com/tr?" method="get" target=_self">
<input type="hidden" value="http://<%=Request.ServerVariables("Server_Name")%><%=Request.ServerVariables("Script_Name")%>?<%=Request.ServerVariables("Query_String")%>" name="url">
<select size="1" style="font-size:8pt;font-family:arial;color:000000;" name="lp">
<option value="en_zh" >English to Chinese</option>
<option value="en_fr" >English to French</option>
<option value="en_de" SELECTED>English to German</option>
<option value="en_it" >English to Italian</option>
<option value="en_ja" >English to Japanese</option>
<option value="en_ko" >English to Korean</option>
<option value="en_pt" >English to Portuguese</option>
<option value="en_es" >English to Spanish</option>
<option value="zh_en" >Chinese to English</option>
<option value="fr_en" >French to English</option>
<option value="fr_de" >French to German</option>
<option value="de_en" >German to English</option>
<option value="de_fr" >German to French</option>
<option value="it_en" >Italian to English</option>
<option value="ja_en" >Japanese to English</option>
<option value="ko_en" >Korean to English</option>
<option value="pt_en" >Portuguese to English</option>
<option value="ru_en" >Russian to English</option>
<option value="es_en" >Spanish to English</option>
</select>
<input src="images/go_translate.gif" type="image" class="fields" alt="translator" input type = "Submit" value="Translate" border="0">
</form>
The go_translate.gif I selected is the one from Systran Technologies used by Babelfish:

Is there anyway to make this code work without a submit button?
I tried and was wondering if one of you code gurus could help.
It would be great if when a selection was made it would submit by the selection without having to press a submit button
Thanks for any help with this

This is excellent, since I have a forum which has different languages !
However what I really need is translation in Finnish !
This is not an option on your Bable FiSH MOD, would it be possible to have it in Finnish ? |

Carefree: Looks cool  will try this on my test site.
Steve: Thanks, its useful but not 100% accurate, hopefully we can make it better somehow.
Havvoc: Yes, but you will need to look at how this behaviour is done elsewhere to get the code, try looking at the line 42 of inc_jump_to.asp to see how to switch like you want.
gareth_moore_2000: I will update the language pairs when babel fish does, I am soon to release a new mod that uses alternate translation engines for certain languages, if you know a finnish engine let me know and i will include it with the update.
Its a nice friendly little mod.
