  I want to add Google Translate. Each time I attempt to enter the html code in a text widget, nothing happens. I’m instructed elsewhere to add the code to page properties; but I can’t locate them. This is true also on my other blog brotherjohnsite.wordpress.com

  HTML code I’m attempting to use.

  <div id=’google_translate_element’></div><script>
  function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({
  pageLanguage: ‘en’,
  layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIM PLE
  }, ‘google_translate_element’);
  }
  </script><script src=’//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit’></script>

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