transparencia Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Basically, I have a form, and if the user inserts text in the form that is not in english, I want to translate it to english. Otherwise, just leave the text in english. This is what I have now, but it is not working: <script>/* * How to translate text. */ /* google initalize */ google.load("language", "1"); function initialize() { /* my form id is q */ var searchQuery = document.getElementById('q'); if(searchQuery.value != "") { // Detected the language google.language.detect(searchQuery, function(result) { if (!result.error) { var language = 'unknown'; for (l in google.language.Languages) { if (google.language.Languages[l] == result.language) { language = l; //if Language not english, then translate if (language != "ENGLISH") { google.language.translate(searchQuery, '', 'en', function(result) { if (result) { // if there is a result, replace the q in the form with the translated one document.getElementById('q').innerHTML = result.translation; } // else if there is no result, just leave the same query in the q form else document.getElementById('q').innerHTML = searchQuery.value; }); } break; } } } }); } } google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize); </script> This code is not working, it is not replacing the text in the form.
