This is a great gadget for your blog, espically those who want to remove the language barrier for your readers.
(click here to get the widget)
There are many online translation tools like Alta vista's babel fish, world lingo, etc. but this one is integrated into your
blog/website and translates your page just in one click. It works for translating blogs in English to Arabic, German,
French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean,
Japanese and Chinese.
This idea was incorporated from the Google translator gadget's blog(which doesn't have flags) and Dummies guide to blogger beta(which doesn't have Russian and has the simplified Chinese).
Well, I put Kuwait's flag for Arabic instead of the conventional Saudi Arabia's flag. So people from Kuwait; this could be a great tool for blogs in English!
It works well, and if possible I'll be adding other languages soon; you can also try Google's translator for other websites which translates from a wide variety of languages.
Speaking of languages; this is how you say Thank you(in languages that I know);
Shukran (Arabic)
Shukria (Hindi)
Salamat (Tagalog)
Merci (French)
Grazie (Italian)
How do you say thank you in your language? and please keep it clean(stick to only thank you!)
Thank you :)

thanks dude, my former blogger translator doesn't have a flag picture... now it is better.
Merry Christmas!
It looks interesting, although I'm not anymore into blogging...
Okay, I'll say thank you in Hebrew:
Roba(h)
@Towr
Glad that you liked it! Spread the good news around :)
@Calista
Thanks for the Hebrew term(My name is also a Hebrew word!)
"Danke schoen" or simply "Danke"
in German
Danke :)
In Dutch: "Dank je wel" (literally: 'Thank you well') or simply "Dank je"
These translations of your pages in languages that I am sort of familiar with are sometimes very funny :) They are - obviously - very literally done, and sometimes some of your paragraph look like a robot got hold of a dictionary, lol! It even translates the comments, I see. OMG, I hope it doesn't translate this one into something unpolite in Chinese...
Useful, thanks! I've got it on my page.
@ Jos
Lol! Probably the translator has a bad sense of humor! Maybe it's good at translating literature type English :D
@Durkin
I'm Glad about it :)
we say "Terima kasih" in Malay :)
Thanks for sharing. I actually need a Thai-English and English-Thai translator. If you have the resources, I will appreciate it.
Happy New Year!
@lankapo!

Hi Joel and many thanks for your quick reply. Yes, my spansih translator is ok but what I need is SWEDISH. All my students in my scrapbook sessions are swedish and some can't understand english.
