I'm going to set up a site which hopefully will sell my products in Europe. I wanted to put a Translator on each page and would like to use Googles free version. After doing some tests i cant get the translator to show up correctly on the page- there are no flags only text although i have put the flag images onto my server and i believe my host unitedhosting supports PHP.

I am following the instructions i found on this website:- http://www.donutey.com/translation.php

I just copied the code onto my test page but i know nothing about php and only a little of html. Can anyone tell me what php code i need to use in order for the flags to show? thanks

Get your pages translated properly rather than rely on a mechanical method.

I agree with chrishirst, having your pages translated by a real person takes away the illogical language errors (where some words need to be different for boys and girls...for example).

However, in response to your question.
