Translation 'hack'

[John]

Thanks to Brian Palik for this.

Add this somewhere in the showthread template:

<center>
<FORM NAME="systran" ACTION="http://translator.go.com/" METHOD=POST>
<input type="hidden" name="input_type" value="url">
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$bburl/showthread.php?threadid=$threadid&pagenumber=$pagenumber">
<FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica"><b>Translate This Page</b></font>
<BR>
<SELECT NAME="lp" >
<OPTION VALUE="en_sp" selected> English to Spanish
<OPTION VALUE="en_fr"> English to French
<OPTION VALUE="en_ge"> English to German
<OPTION VALUE="en_it"> English to Italian
<OPTION VALUE="en_pt"> English to Portuguese
</SELECT> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Translate"><br>

Wouldn't this fall under the code hacking forum?

[Stallion]

Considering that there's no code editing involved? No.

I have a feeling most of the common UBB hacks can be done through templates (as is with OpenTopic, if you would believe it yourself)

[Stallion]

Oh, one more thing...

I'm planning on making a spiffy new version of the hack which will translate individual posts instead.

[JonnyQuest]

Can I see this anywhere...?

(This is Brian's board using basically the same code)

Any update on how to make this work in 3.0.3?

[bsousa]

Not a lot of straight HTML in the 303 showthread.php file...can anyone show me how I can implement this translation hack here?

[Chroder]

It is a template hack, not a code hack.

[bsousa]

So can you tell me how it would work then?
