Created Module For Google Translate

[BarNet]

Hi all

 

This is my first attempt at a module and I thought all was cool but it is not getting accepted in the back-end. I have tweaked and re-uploaded half a dozen times ( and more!) but really need someone to run their eyes over it and let me know what I have done incorrectly.

 

php page is:

<?php
class googlelanguages extends Module{


function __construct(){


$this->name = 'googlelanguages';
$this->tab = 'Blocks';
$this->version = 0.2;


parent::__construct();


$this->displayName = $this->l('Google Languages');
$this->description = $this->l('Adds Google Languages block');


}

function install()
{
if (!parent::install())
return false;
if (!$this->registerHook('top'))
return false;
return true;
}


function hookTop($params){
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'googlelanguages.tpl');

}
}
?>

 

and then the .tpl code:

<!-- Block languages module -->
<div class="languages_block_top">
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
 new google.translate.TranslateElement({
   pageLanguage: 'en',
   includedLanguages: 'zh-CN,zh-TW,en',
   multilanguagePage: true,
   layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
 }, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
</div>
<!-- /Block languages module -->

 

Can anyone see any bloppers?

 

Thanks in advance

can you clarify what "not being accepted in the back-end" means?

i have installed this module on my test site and it works perfectly actually. so the only thing I can say, have you named the folder and files correctly?

 

folder=googlelanguages

php=googlelanguages.php

template=googlelanguages.tpl

[BarNet]

Thanks so much. that was one thing I didn't pick up on ... my folder was a different name. All is appearing in the administration now.

 

Much Appreciated

Catherine

Hi! I am using latest prestashop version but in google translation is not working for me, it keeps on loading and loading and shows some url . is there a module I must add? do you mind giving me the link?

I do not understand why in version 1.4.4.1 worked so well and now it's giving me troubles.

Aloha! I am having a similar problem. Will the above code make google translate work for version 1.3.1? My site is http://hawaiianfishhooknecklace.com/store/ check it out and let me know if this will work. Thanks!

Hi All!

 

I have also problems with translating because the google translator is not free and I use the Prestashop (1.4.6.2) in Hungary.

 

I found the Micosoft Bing translator. It is free and it has a good API.

 

I made some changes in gg-translate.js to use Bing for translation.

 

 

You need to get an Appilcation Id for Bing translator.

Follow: http://www.microsoft.com/web/post/using-the-free-bing-translation-apis

 

In gg-translte.js you have to change your App ID

var myAppId = "Your app Id is here";

 

You can download this javascript file, and copy into js/ folder.

Good luck,
