Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to implement a foreign language translator using CMSB? I tried Google translate but did not work very well with CMSB. Bablefish was a bit better, but not as clean as I would have liked. I want to get away from the messy box that Bablefish provides.

Ideas/thoughts?

Hi drewh01,

You're talking about translating your front-end website and not the back-end admin panel, correct?

What went wrong with Google Translate?
All the best,
Chris

Can you show me your site translated by Google Translate? Maybe I could figure out what's wrong with your drop downs.
All the best,
Chris

Hi drewh01,

It seems like the third-party JavaScript library (quickmenu.js) you're using for your navigation doesn't play nice with Google Translate. You could try replacing it with something else, or find another translation service.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
All the best,
Chris
