I respond with this post, at the request of Andrea on how to insert the translator of Google in your web. There are several ways to take advantage of machine translation services available from Google and beyond. We can use plugins written by others, a simple JavaScript script from Google itself or mixed learning to use the API, ie a set of callable functions - as we shall see - in various ways.

Plugins

I will not dwell on this solution, as I think is not really relevant to the request of Andrew , if I understood well. Furthermore, it is essentially a solution valid only for the blog and not to use custom and generic. I can only point out to users by WordPress , Global Translator , perhaps the most simple, practical and popular plugins of this type.

Pre script by Google

The easiest way to translate your website or your blog is to add a simple JavaScript script provided by Google. Just go to the site translate.google.com tab and click on 'Tools'. From this page you can preset the translation functions or leave the default. The script is very simple:

and as a result we obtain:

I "revived" this article of mine wrote a little 'of years ago. I slightly revised, updating a little bit here and there, but I think it is still relevant and interesting.

INTRODUCTION

What is a development language? A computer, aka PC (Personal Computer), has a personal language. This language is called machine code, to mean that every machine, so any computer (PC compatible, Apple, Unix, etc ...), has a unique and proprietary. The programs that we see "run" on our PCs are mainly carried out by the mysterious object called a microprocessor. This is the heart, the intelligent module, each computer. In fact, only one application is not running but is supported by the microprocessor, so to speak, to what is called an operating system: a software layer supplied by the manufacturer of the machine (see, for example, the Apple Macintosh).

Some, quite rightly, argue about the Adobe AIR, Adobe Integrated Runtime (formerly Apollo) offered by Adobe. What are we talking about? After all AIR is still a beta ( the latest release is 12/12/2007 - Beta 3 ) and its success, we'll see whether including or not depends on many factors.

Adobe releases AIR (formerly code-named Apollo), which stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime, and then, "successor" of Apollo. You can download the beta version released on June 11 here: AIR downloads

At the same time it is issued to build 0.2.8.15171 Aptana IDE development environment dedicated to exceptional developer HTML, PHP, Rails, Javascript, and now with support for AIR.

The Aptana IDE is a free, open source, cross-platform, JavaScript-focused development environment for building Ajax applications. It features code assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, FTP / SFTP support and a JavaScript debugger to troubleshoot your code.

A strong competitor of Adobe Dreamweaver, at least for the coders, since it is a free software integrated, inter alia, with Eclipse . Mysteriously, then, Adobe has released an extension to build Adobe AIR applications Dreamweaver CS3 only, leaving users of version 8! Aptana, therefore, is an excellent alternative to Dreamweaver CS3, for those who want to experience the development package for Adobe AIR!

However, in Aptana the lack of a WYSIWYG environment, excellent in Dreamweaver, the potential decreases, as already mentioned are mainly addressed in the Code. Dreamweaver, in particular with the release of CS3, then offers a complete and perfect with Flash CS3, Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe Creative Suite tools of brand new, feature completely absent in IDEs like Aptana.

The Aptana IDE, is comuqnue, is spectacular, understandable and all the vital features for a programmer, project management, previews installed on browsers, auto-save, file comparison, display line numbers, configurable editor, collapse of the "tagging "Embedded XML, high-level debugger, support Italian and much more.

Good document management allows dynamic access to the W3C specification, and JavaScript libraries (best known as Web 2.0 Dojo, JQuery, Mootools, Yahoo (YUI) and Scriptaculous, all integrated into a single environment despite proper documentation is taken directly from the network!

Aptana is available for Windows (XP and Vista), Macintosh, Linux and Eclipse Plugin for. Many features are available on the site, including a Aptana.tv .

In short, for those who have already developed or those who want to start developing applications in Adobe AIR ( here you will find a tutorial video to begin developing Adobe AIR applications ), Aptana is a functional and comfortable, well-integrated network, and accompanied also by Plugins and extensions, some for particular browsers like FireFox for debugging.

Last note: Some functions, such as the plugin for AIR, require the installation of the Java runtime !
