There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins. We cannot use Microsoft or Google translation widgets or any other JavaScript widgets, as the code is stripped out to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript

However, I have translation on my WordPress.com blogs. There are two workarounds and you will find them here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/
Note: You can copy and paste the code on my Translations page and then replace every occurrence of my blog's URL in the code with your own blog's URL.

How do you add the flags too ?

Any step by step instructions would be useful !

PS I used "free translation.com" as above but my friends didn't seem to like it. I added this link into a text widget. It worked.

Use this link:

I've disabled it. So far that seems to have done it. I'll know for sure tomorrow as it seems to take a while to revert after I've corrected it to using English.

There's nothing in Firefox's preferences that sets which dictionary is used as a default, but I'll do without that extension if it means not having to reset the language each time.

Thanks for your help.

Nowhere on my computer or in the browser, Firerfox14.01, do I have Spanish selected as a default language. This was never a problem before and now I can't seem to shake it!

This affects all of my blogs on WordPress.

It's almost as though there was a new "feature" that decides on a language for me and does not accept the choice I made!

can I somehow copy the entire template and context and make a new page out of it which would appear in russian(I could change the text manually)?

i.e header: | ABOUT US | CONTACT US | IN MEDIA | PRODUCTS | IN RUSSIAN

and when I click on "in russian", the same site would appear, but in russian. So it would be like.. site within a site but in other language, because the automatic translations really are bad.
