The JavaScript writes several flags onto a web page. Each flag is a link to //Google's translation service. Clicking on a flag prompts Google to machine-translate the //current page into a corresponding target language. // //LICENSE: This script and the accompanying flag images are free for personal use //(no obligations--but keep the readme.txt together with the files you're using).

You can use them with the script or //separately (for other purposes) as long as you adhere to the LICENSE. If you want to //distribute the flags yourself (e.g., with a script *you* wrote), you need to email me //(inform@shawnbrown.com) and get permission. // //WARRANTY: Absolutely none.

You may not //charge money for these files and you must keep the included readme.txt with the files you're //distributing. // /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // //ABOUT THIS SCRIPT: The quality of machine-translated text extends from clumsy to // unintelligible--and anywhere in between the two. That being said, it *is* useful for //conveying the gist of a website and for site navigation. If your website's ability to cater //to non-English speakers is a key feature, you should have each page properly translated //(by a human). But if you've never really thought about such things before, and you like the //idea of providing a translated version of your site, you can add this script to any web //page for little effort and no cost. // //This is the "en-to-all" (English-to-All) version of this JavaScript. It's probably the least //useful of all of the versions. Most non-English speakers are likely to already have a //translation tool they're comfortable with. But many people rely on Google's translation //services and this script provides an extremely easy way to access this feature--which *does* //provide a useful service. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CUSTOMIZATION VARIABLES -- YOU MUST ENTER URL FOR THE FOLDER CONTAINING FLAG // FILES.
