Forum Archive - [Solved] Joomla 1.5 - google translation doesn't work

I just found that most of the languages on my site like don't translate at all. Also, the translation doesn't work in the modules. I have checked the forum and also the google API and it does look like that google is now charging for translation! Do we have to pay google now? Should I move to Bing? Any ideas? Thanks a lot! Regards

Hi, What is your website address? There is no need to pay Google, you can use the service for free. You can use Bing if you wish.

Hi, I PM you the website. Thanks J. ANY NEWS???

Hi, Please modify your .htaccess to use this rewrite rules instead: # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2&force_no_api=1&force_translation=1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&force_no_api=1&force_translation=1 [L,QSA]

Hi Edward, thanks for the reply. Do I have to do this for all of languages? Or just the code you mentioned here? On what line I should have it in the .htaccess? Thanks

When you open your .htaccess you will see # gtranslate config there. You need to replace it by the code in previous post.

Thank you! It helped... will be tesing it a bit more and if there are any problems let you know. Regards

I also have a problem with translations. It is working just on the front page, but not on every other page within website. In my .htaccess I cannot locate # gtranslate config rules at all. What can I do? Thanks

Please post your problem only once.
