  Will there ever be a “select language” widget, or am I just missing it?

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

  Hi Rob!

  Are you trying to add a widget that will translate your blog into different languages? While we don’t have that at the moment, what you can do is add a Text Widget to your blog and paste this is:

  <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=es&u=http%3A%2F%2Firreducibleprimary.com%2F">Spanish Translation</a>

  This would be an example of Spanish, but you could choose whichever language you want. :)

  You can translate your blog into any language by copying and pasting your blog URL into translate.google.com.

  If this is not what you meant, please let me know!

  Cheers!

  I was thinking more of a drop-down where people could select their own language. This would be a really nice enhancement to a blog.

  Using the script you sent, I would need a different one for each language…Yes?

  Thanks….
