    @leehokwah

    Automatic translation is not available to WordPress.com blogs. We bloggers do not have FTP access to blogs hosted by WordPress.COM and we bloggers cannot install any plugins, we cannot use Microsoft or Google translation widgets or any others, as they are JavaScript and it’s stripped out to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript

    However, I have translation on my WordPress.com blogs. There are two workarounds and you will find them here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

    Note: You can create a page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ then and copy and paste the code on my Translations page here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/translation/ Be sure to replace every occurrence of my blog’s URL in the code with your own blog’s URL.

    If you are bilingual or multilingual and want to publish your free hosted WordPress.com in two or more languages but do not want to rely on machine translation that can be done see here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/

    Thanks for clearing that up @timethief

    P.S. You changed your profile pic and WP Theme? Is it Spring Cleaning time?!

    I have installed a Translator in over 50 languages in my blog. I can provide you with the code. Let me know if you still need it.

    Thank you jal789 for the reply
    My assistant who needed the information installed in mean time a connection with Google.
    I checked the translation of a page on my Blog from English to Spanish and felt flabbergasted about the quality, present and past confusions, word choice etc.
    Is my writing so lousy or complicated that Google is unable to translate adequately what I wrote?
    I encountered in the answers I am now receiving from the members of this forums, translations of higher quality. Or are those translations adapted afterwards?
    I will have to make some more comparisons next week.
    You can render me a tremendous service, having a look to whatever page on the Public Blog I am preparing, leehokwah.com and communicate your visions or findings about the English.
    Or, I'll have to seek assistance of an English text Editor,
    or, I'll have to seek for translators. Any way, translators will be necessary to translate all publications the 7 languages foreseen in the longer term project.
    Further, I am a Profound Profane about plug ins, HTML text, page lay-out on the Blog, so I divulged a temporary password to edit the Blog for the Google Translation facility. All other forms of assistance are unsuitable for me.
    Thanks for your point of view.

    Thank you timethief for your reply.

    In the first place, I love the word “timethief,” simultaneously, I hate “timethieves.”

    Sixty-five years ago, my 5 years old son called me “Daddy Centihour.” Between 1982 and 1994, I was known in the world and and mentioned in conversations as “Mister Micro Second.”

    Thank you for your observations. As the call was launched by my assistant beginning August, he found and installed an translation facility already.
    Considerable backlog I my Public Blog, “leehokwah.com” hoping to launch it as soon as possible, I checked the Google Translation today. I wonder if there is better?

    Also thank you for your propositions and tips. However I am a complete “Internet Ignoramus,” and know nothing about FTP, Java script, or where and how to plug-in, “plug-ins.”
    What I did, was providing a temporary password to my ex-assistant, to insert the access to “Google Translate” in a template. I can use the template for all my introductions, books, articles, book chapters, topics, consultations etc. I have enough additional headache with Twitter, tweets, target groups, maintain relations, organizing all my writings over the last 10 years. etc. With other words I have to delegate.

    As a Blogger, you can however render me a tremendous service. Namely have a look to my writing.
    The reason for asking this assistance is, I had a look to the translation results in the Blog and felt flabbergasted about the deplorable outcome of the Spanish, French, Dutch conversions.
    Or, I need a English text editor, or, I have to postpone the 7 languages Blog Project until I can engage translators.

    Thank you for you point of view.
    Regards
    LEE Hok-wah

    I have to write in the first place. That is my production.
