Blogging in Both Official Languages

I would love to be able to speak/type French and thus reach a broader audience.

However, linguistics are not exactly my strong suit.

Programming and code editing are my strong suit(s)

As well as stealing and modifying good ideas.

So - as a prototype - I bring you blogging in both of Canada's official languages.

If people like this I will work on making modular code that others can add to their blogs.

Here is the code that you see on my side bar:

<div style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; background-color: white; width: 100px; text-align: center; padding: 0 0 10px 0;"><p style="margin: 0"><br /><div style="clear: both;"></div><form action="http://www.google.com/translate"><span style=""> Translate this Blog</span><input dir="ltr" value="http://giantpoliticalmouse.blogspot.com/index.html" name="u" size="55" type="hidden"> <span style="">from </span><br/><select name="langpair"><option value="en|fr">English to French<option value="fr|en">French to English</select><input value="en" name="hl" type="hidden"><input value="UTF8" name="ie" type="hidden"><input value="Translate" type="submit"></form><br /><a href="http://giantpoliticalmouse.blogspot.com/2006/08/blogging-in-both-official-languages.html">Get this code for your blog</a></div>

You have to change value="http://giantpoliticalmouse.blogspot.com/index.html"
to the url for your own blog

Saskboy says this code works on wordpress:


<div style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; background-color: white; width: 100px; text-align: center; padding: 0 0 10px 0;"><p style="margin: 0"><br /><br /></div><div style="border: 0px solid #cccccc; background-color: white; width: 180px; height: 100px; text-align: center; padding: 0 0 5px 0;"><p style="margin: 0"><br /><form action="http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/http://www.google.com/translate"><span style=""> Translate from</span><input dir="ltr" value="http://www.abandonedstuff.com" name="u" size="55" type="hidden"> <br/><select name="langpair"><option value="en|fr">English <span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">au</span> <span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">francais</span><option value="fr|en">French to English</select><input value="en" name="hl" type="hidden"><br /><input value="UTF8" name="ie" type="hidden"><input value="Translate" type="submit"></form><br /><a href="http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/http://giantpoliticalmouse.blogspot.com/2006/08/blogging-in-both-official-languages.html">Get this code too</a></div><br />
