  Does WordPress have a translator widget that I could put on my blog? With thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Currently, we do not have a translator widget on WordPress.com. I could see how that would be incredibly valuable. For now, the best option would be to put different translations on your blog using a Text widget:

  Would that work for what you’re looking for?

  Hello Jeremey, thanks for your prompt reply and for the information. I gather from your response and queries to the same effect as mine that others have put on the forums that WordPress may consider/be considering offering a translator widget. It would vastly broaden one’s potential audience and, in turn, the range of perspectives one might receive. Philip Stanfield

  Hi Philip,

  There definitely is a demand for a widget like that. We’ll look to potentially include it in the future!

  Please let me know if you need anything else!
