Digg This Story Language Translation Flags and Script

This tutorial explains how you can add a script to allow readers to view your English site in other foreign languages. As you can see on the right of this page, a reader needs only to click the relevant country flag to read this site contents in his preferred language.

English is not the most popular language in the world. In fact, according to many reports, the Chinese language (Mandarin) is certainly the most widely spoken language. In the internet community, the other popular language platforms are arguably Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Malay, Italian, French, Japanese, and Korean.

Translation from English to other languages

If you have a blog written in English, it therefore makes much sense to be able to reach out to the non-English speaking population as well. There are several online translation tools, the popular free tools being AltaVista's Babel Fish translation and Google's Language Translator. WorldLingo is no longer a recommended tool, as the website translator has a translation limit of 500 words, beyond which you have to pay a monthly fee for their service.

For this site, I have used the Google Language Translator. Google is able to translate English website contents into Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The JavaScript used here can be applied to most of the blogging sites like Blogspot, Typepad and Wordpress. Copy the following script and paste it at the part of the template where you want your language translator to appear.























































Points to note:-

1. For those using Blogspot, once you have logged into your Dashboard, go to Template-> Page Elements. Add a “Page Element” and select “HTML/JavaScript”.

2. Copy the above JavaScript. Under the “value” (in red), you will see the URL of this website. Please change that to the URL of your own website. Save and refresh the page.

3. If you want a slightly bigger flag, you can increase the width of the images, for example, from “30” to “36” and the height from “20” to “24”.

4. Should you come across a translation that doesn't look right, you can always suggest to Google a better translation to help them improve their translation quality.

Translation from other languages to English

If you have a site written in another language, you can also have a translation tool on your Blog to translate it into English. At the moment, Google is able to translate Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish sites into English.

Go to the official Google Language Tools site. Key in your Blog URL at the place circled in the picture below. Choose the languages e.g., “Italian to English”.

Once you click “Translate”, you will be taken to the translated page. Copy the translated page URL in the browser. We have to insert this URL into the HTML code.

Next, login to your Dashboard, under Template -> Page Elements -> Add a Page Element, choose HTML/JavaScript at the place where you want to put your translation flag.

If you want a United Kingdom flag, copy and paste this code into the page element.

Google Translation




If you want a United States of America flag, use this code instead.

Please remember to insert the translated page URL into the code. If you wish to resize the picture by specifying the width and height, or if you want to have readers go to a new window when they click the link, you may read the article on Hyperlinks and Image Links (II) to see how you can do that.

Save and refresh your Blog to see the translation flag.

Hey Guys i know many are facing problems while changing their template and also few donot know how to change their blogger templates.

Download then unzip the template file.

4. Login to blogger.com.

Solving The bX-994eaq & bX-ru6d8m Errors

For your information, this is not an official bypass procedure, nor a hack. I merely chanced to get lucky and somehow managed to bypass the error codes. I know it could get very frustrating getting the same error repeatedly. Trust me, I've faced that a lot of times, and it's why I'm writing this post, hoping you just might get lucky too. The good news is I'm always lucky and so are others who've read this post, at least I've never received bad news (lol).

This is what you do when you receive the bX-994eaq and bX-ru6d8m errors while trying to upload your new blogger template:



[Go to Layout>Edit HTML and download your entire template using the Download Full Template (this is necessary if you want to revert back to your current template).]


Go to Layout>Page Elements and back up all the HTML codes of your widgets to your computer using notepad (you don't want to start all over again).


Remove (delete) the widgets/page elements one by one (manually). Even if you can't remove all the widgets, try removing as much widgets as you can.



(Note: The trick to solving these errors is in manually deleting the widgets.)


Go to Layout>Edit HTML and upload your new template using the upload button.
If there are widgets that have yet to be deleted, confirm the deletion.



If the upload is still unsuccessful, you might want to go to Layout>Pick New Template and choose one of the pre-uploaded blogger templates randomly and save your template. After this, repeat the above steps again.

This is all I know so far as the two error codes are concerned. Believe me, I've changed my templates like a hundred times and have come across these errors many times. I'm not an expert, but I'm persistent. I found out this solution through hit and trial. If it didn't work for you, I'm sorry. If it worked, you're in luck.

As a matter of fact, Blogger does not specify any solution to the errors in question. I'd done a lot of search on the codes and the nearest I came to actually solving them was when I read a blog-post written by an experienced blogger, who alleged that there is a way to bypass the errors, but of which he/she was not supposed to talk about and then went on to bullshit about how best one could report the error to Blogger.

I've got several positive comments on this and am really glad I could be of help. All the best!

How To Add Picture Banner To Blogspot Blog

As you all know blogger is fast developing and including many new features day by day and also maintaining all its features. One of the latest feature of Blogger is the Header image editing feature. Ising this new feature, the image appears in the center, as a background to the title. For more control of your blog and the position of the picture like picture appear on the left or on the right of the title, it may be better to follow this guide.

This guide is about adding an image or picture to your Blogger Header to replace the Header Title, and to add a unique personal touch to your Blog. At the same time, we would like to have a clickable Blogger Header so that anybody clicking on it will be brought directly to your Blog's home page. For purposes of search engine optimization (SEO), we would include a text in the code so that the title of your Blog can still be read by search engine spiders despite your removing the Header text.

Before we begin, if your intention is simply to add a background picture to the Header, but still retaining the Header text and description, please refer to my other article on “Background image for Blogger Header”



Next, you will have to enable additional Page Elements to your Header section. When you log in to your dashboard, and go to Template -> Page Elements, you should see an option for you to add a Page Element above your Header.

Add picture without link to Home page

This is simple. If all you want is to have an additional picture or image above or below your Header text, click the “Add a Page Element” link and select “Picture” to upload the image from your computer. Save and refresh.

Add picture with link to Home page

Instead of uploading the picture, you will need to create a link. To do this, you need to have the picture uploaded somewhere
