translate website in multi languages

The web is a global community with rapidly growing international markets. Translation allows sites to reach broader audiences, and tools like  Google Translate  and  Yahoo’s Babelfish  have made the web more accessible. While accessing these translation tools is often too cumbersome for your site’s visitors, leveraging these tools is relatively simple for developers. I wrote this script because I’ve been wanting to offer translation on my blog, and unfortunately all the scripts I looked at online had really clunky front ends. So I decided to write Translate-It: a really clean script that leverages  Google’s translation tool . Why you should use Translate-It Translate-It is a nice script for several reasons. First, it’s incredibly easy to implement, with no CSS or images to upload. The script builds all the flags and links dynamically, so the only HTML markup you include is  <div id="translateFlags"></div > . Besides keeping the document clean, this is great for SE
