Translate Widget for Wordpress

It adds little flags to your sidebar, which will take you to a translation of the current blog page. It uses Google Translate, but removes the frame, so it looks quite nice! Once you’re in one language, you can browse around the blog, and everything stays translated. You can just click on the English flag to get back to the original language.

Download: Translate Widget 2.0

The zip file includes a ‘flags’ folder and a translate.php file.
Place both [upload] in the /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/widgets/ folder.
