## Description

Translate This is a WordPress plugins that allows users to **translate their posts
and pages directly from the input form**.

[**updated**] You can watch a preview of what this plugin can do on youtube:
 [Watch the screencast](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZITxGRTfeQ)

After installing it you will be able to open the translation menu from both the 
edit and the add new pages for posts and pages. Inside the translation menu you 
will have the possibility to **choose in which language you want to translate** (
_42 languages availables_) your text and a short preview of what you will obtain.

_The language you’re writing on is automatically detected_, so you don’t have to
specify it and obviously **HTML tags are preserved** by the system.

After choosing the language the preview will update automatically in a few seconds,
depending on your connection speed. After you read the preview and agreed it is 
a good result you can confirm the translation tool to substitute your text with 
the translated one. If you’re not satisfied you can just undo your latest action(
CTRL+Z on the text area ) and you will came back to your original post.

### Usage

For more usage information please read the [USAGE INSTRUCTIONS](http://docs.andreaolivato.net/translate-this-usage-guide)

Using is even simplier then installing it. Just _start a new article_ clicking on**
New Post** ( top-left of the administration area), write something on your native
language in the text area and then look for the **flag icon** located in the _Upload/
Insert_ row right before the text editor where you typed.

After clicking the flag a popup will appear, containing a **simple select** with
all the languages supported by Google language tools. After the select you can see
a preview of your text translated on the default language ( English ). If you want
to translate your native post into any language just **choose it from the select**
and allow some seconds to the script to update the preview.

After the script made its job, if you are satisfied on what it translated just press**
Send & Close** which will translate the text into your editor and close the popup.
If instead you want to close the window without making any change to your text just
close the popup clicking on the big grey X at the top left of it.

## FAQ

  Does it work in HTML mode on the editor?

No but the plugin will hide itself in that mode and enable itself again when you
come back to visual mode.

  Will you add any other translation services?

Hopefully yes, I’m looking for well build APIs to use. If you have any suggestion
let me know by [commenting here](http://blog.andreaolivato.net/software/translate-this-wordpress-plugin)
