Translation widget or similar
-
I am writing my blog in English.
I have a lot of German readers whose English is say ‘under-developed’
To make it easy for them to continue reading my blog, ideally I like to have a translation button on each page, similar to the ‘share’ buttons, which they could click on and the page translates into german. Just as one can do on FaceBook.
Possible?
BTW, the option of writing two blogs, two posts or two languages in a single post are not attractive to me, as I am on-the-road with little time & resourcesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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/#javascriptHowever, 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.

Hi timethief,
much appreciated your prompt response.
Only now I have come ’round to read it with consideration.
On face-value it appears as if I would have to do this for each and every post …Phew, I had hoped for a more ‘automated’ approach, once set up, automatically (press a button/link) in action.
Moreover when I click the links you’d provided I seem to land on a starting page to purchase tips. Is that right?
Thanks, Axel
