  There are some JavaScript-based translation widgets (e.g. Google/Bing) for websites, but because WordPress.com strips out JavaScript code for security reasons.

  As a work around, you can use these links for translating your home page into Spanish:

  http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&langpair=en%7Ces&u=http://rminto.com/

  You can change the “es” after “%7C” to other language code. For example, you can paste this to a Text Widget.

  <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&langpair=en%7Ces&u=http://rminto.com/">Spanish</a>

  A user wrote a very helpful article about this: https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

  Here’s her example page using similar links I showed as an example:
