I am not exactly sure if .htaccess is something considered html or if its coding is its own type so I just decided to go ahead and post it here. If the topic should be somewhere else, feel free to move it

I am trying to make my website redirect to Google translate in a certain way but it doesn't seem to be working. Could someone tell me if this is an issue with how HostGator has their servers setup or if it just my coding.

I want http://www.idevlancer.com/es to redirect to http://translate.google.com/trans...devlancer.com/ which is that page translated into Spanish obviously. However, whenever I go to that link in my browser, it is actually forwarding me to that page. But, I am wanting it to keep my on idevlancer.com instead.

That way people can just go to URL's like this for example (and see them like this):
http://www.idevlancer.com/es/index.php
http://www.idevlancer.com/es/test1.php
http://www.idevlancer.com/es/test2.php
http://www.idevlancer.com/es/test3.php
http://www.idevlancer.com/es/test4.php

Here is the code that is being used in .htaccess for what it is doing right now:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^idevlancer.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.idevlancer.com$
RewriteRule ^es\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/translate\.google\.com\/translate\?hl\=es\&sl\=en\&u\=http\:\/\/www\.idevlancer\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

If anyone can be of any help that would be wonderful!

.htaccess is configuration file from apache, have nothing common with php.
If I understand good, after entering on http://www.idevlancer.com/es you want to show http://translate.google.com.vn/trans...devlancer.com/ but to not change address ? Maybe try iframe?

Exactly, and it should work as a wildcard as well like I have it. That way you can click around to different folders while still staying within the /es/ folder.

How would I go about doing that?

Please and thank you

You can't, a redirect does what it says, redirects

framesets or iframes will have to do. OR of course have the pages translated PROPERLY.

How could I get framesets to iframes to work in that manner for idevlancer.com? What exactly would I need to add and where?

For example, if someone is at /es/index.php and they click on the test2.php link then it should take them to /es/test2.php (not just test2.php) that way the users will not have to continuously translate each page individually...

Sorry for not really knowing a lot about this, our church is just try to do some stuff like this and I am not experience at all with this area of expertise.

It should work basically like the links on this page work when you click on them:

Thank you for any time and support you can give.

Use document relative links, provided the file names are all the same in each folder ...
