mkdocs-google-translate

A mkdocs plugin to add relative paths to Google Translate queries

Install using pip install mkdocs-google-translate

Usage

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml by adding the following lines, replace the values of _x_tr_sl and _x_tr_tl to match your site:

extra:
  alternate:
      # Original Language
    - name: English
      lang: 'en'
      link: '%GT_RELATIVE_URL%'  # For relative urls back to original language
      # Extra languages
    - name: Norsk
      lang: 'no'
      link: 'https://translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=no'
      # _x_tr_sl = source language
      # _x_tr_tl = translation language

plugins:
  - search
  - google-translate:
      url: example.com  # optional (required for local testing)

Note: If you have no plugins entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also want to add the search plugin. MkDocs enables it by default if there is no plugins entry set, but now you have to enable it explicitly.

Incompatabilities

This plugin is somewhat incompatible with the mkdocs feature navigation.instant, due to the fact that the page heading never changes with the feature enabled.
