I would dearly love to be able to add Google translate to my BuddyPress site, I have tried various plug-ins in the sidebar but they will not allow me to translate every page – I get logged out all the time. I think Google Translate is ok with a normal WordPress site but not with BuddyPress. Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This buddypress site uses google translate – though without a plugin.

Have you tried putting
`
`
in your footer and
`

function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: ‘en’,
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
}, ‘google_translate_element’);
}

`
in a text widget?

When I posted the above I didn’t remember where I got it from but while researching a related issue, I found:
http://translate.google.com/translate_tools – which has more options for anyone else looking at this sort of solution….
