  Hi, I use WordPress.com to host 4 blogs – just wondering if you’ll be adding a translate-this-page button/plugin/widget anytime soon? Or perhaps there is one and I can’t see it? If I upgrade to premium, will one magically appear? Cheers, Ali.

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

  I support this too but in the meanwhile …

  We do not have FTP access 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/

  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 copy and paste the code on my Translations page and then 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 too see here. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/
