I'd like to be able to create a link on my page to enable visitors to translate that specific page from English to another language.

Is it possible to code the link in such a way that it will automatically fill in the page details (location, language from) on the translation web site I'm pointing to?

FWIW-I've seen this done somewhere, but of course can't locate it. LOL

Hey JenT,

If the translation site you are using encodes the variables it needs in the URL (POST data) then you should be able to do this.

Go to the site and put in some of the details and have a look at the URL, if it looks like this:

www.example.com/translateMe.jsp?from=english&to=german

You can then constuct your link to feed in the variables.

Thanks for your help, Blobfisk. I think the translation site masks the URI's but I'll certainly give this a try.
