Translate Your Site

Since WordPress.com serves readers from around the world, it’s no wonder that many site owners want their work to be accessible to everyone — regardless of the languages they speak.

Google Translate can help you reach new audiences, and in just a few steps, you can offer readers a translated version of your site!

1. Add a text widget to your sidebar or footer.
2. Copy and paste the following HTML into the content of your text widget.
3. Replace any instances of https://blog.wordpress.com with the address of your blog or website.
4. Save the widget, and you’re all done!

HTML:

<ul>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">English</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=es&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Español</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=fr&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Français</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=de&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Deutsch</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=pt&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Português</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=id&u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Bahasa Indonesia</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?u=https://blog.wordpress.com">Other languages</a></li>
</ul>

Now when your readers visit your site, they’ll see a simple list of languages. In one click, they’ll be directed to an automatically generated translation of your site!

While your sidebar or footer is an ideal location for translation links, you can use this HTML in your posts or pages as well!
