In reply to anadikt. Simply edit the CSS for the translation box element.

In reply to NiMRod. Simply add the code to generate the google translator element dropdown and javascript in a product page template file instead of the header template. Have a look in /template/catalog/product - view.phtml is probably a good place to put the Google code, this will display the Google translate element on product pages. The other way would be to test if the current page is a product page in head.phtml and then only output the Google code if the test is true.

Hi, great post.
Does anyone know if it is possible to insert a google translate element into the product page only? Not the whole site.
What I would like to do is provide a translate option within the product body content.
Basically we have some products in each country in the correct language. Many products have official product descriptions in several languages, however it varies so we have ended up with many products with only english descriptionsm some french or spanish etc but not all.

Most of the site has the correct language for each country – checkout etc so I only really to apply the translation to the product on-demand otherwise the whole site will be slowed down by this unnecessary process.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, can you provide some instruction on how to achieve this? I would be most grateful.

In reply to drknickel. Yes you could link to the js and css files locally although i don't think it would make it that much faster. You should disable the translater for pages you have translated yourself, I only enable it for the english store on our site, and have flags for the languages we have translated ourselves.

Perhaps i could just download the js file (and the js and css file linked in the js) and put it on my server?

Heyho PAJ,

i still use the translator and my visitors love it. However it slows my site down very much. Is there a way to only load it when needed? Or load it after the rest of the page has loaded?

Thanks for your help 🙂

Has something changed with the Google element translator? Is it now translating across all pages on a site by default? I just noticed this today that when I set the translation it persists when I change pages and I was sure that previously it did not do this…
