  hi!
  i’m trying to add a language changer button like i’ve seen in some pages, that you can click and automatically translate everything into a new language. It’s usually on the top of the blog and it’s usually made of a flag of the country that uses the language you are trying to change the page into.
  Thanks for the possibe advices XD

  Hi there,

  I think what you want is “Google Translate Widget”. You can read the document below and follow the step for setting up. Thanks!!

  Thank you Haccism!
  Though, That’s… not really what i meant.
  Granted it’s actually not a bad idea, what i meant was the tipical button you have on the top right of lots of websites’s homepage wich you can click and choose the language the website is written in.
  All the different languaged website texts would be written by me of course. Any ideas?
  Thanks again!
  Alejo

  What you are describing cannot be done on a wordpress.COM hosted site. It can only be done on a wordpress.ORG software install.

  For wordpress.com sites see:

  See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
