Google Translate is a free multilingual machine translation service. It can translate the Website's text content from one language to another.

Use this website translator to convert webpages into your choice of language.

So, How to add Google Translate Button on a website?

To directly translate your documents, you can go to https://translate.google.com/. But to add it on your website, you need to add Google Translate Script on the webpage

To use google translate script, you need to import google api containing googleTranslateElementInit() function with new google.translate.TranslateElement() and google_translate_element id.

We will use a CDN path, provided by Google, to implement the google translator. Just follow the whole tutorial to earn how to add google translate ( translate google com ). You can download complete html code of examples from Try-it Editor.

Google Translate Button

We will implement it in a simple web page, but you can make a beautiful design and then place the translator button properly.

Google Translate implementation will need three steps:

Set up CDN Path for Google API.
Set up a div element to place Translator.
Set up Default Language for the Webpage.

Let's implement all the steps:

Step 1: Set the CDN path to Google Translate API. This CDN will only work if you have an active internet connection otherwise not. This path will add the script of Translator on your page.

Step 2: Add a <div> element with id=google_translate_element. It is a predefined id in google's script. This div element will be used by the Translator API to give the user a list of languages.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset='UTF-8'> <title> Google Translate </title> </head> <body> <h1>Your Website Heading</h1> <div></div> </body> </html>

Step 3: Add Script to choose default language of the webpage. Every language has a unique code in Translator; you can check the list from here. We have selected American English as default, and the code is 'en'.
