Translator Widget Mouseover Highlighting - OFF please.

Have an old website that I am trying to make more user friendly for my international customers.  Having the capability to translate the pages appears helpful.  
Google uses some awful masthead that I haven't found a way to shut off.  It rips people away from the site, changing the url to one of theirs.  Not to mention the fact that the whole interface is uber ugly, and so I dumped them.  
I tried the Microsoft Translator Widget... much better.  Clean functionality that leaves only changes the text on your page.
But now attempt to use any of the links on the page: the text block becomes highlighted.  That highlight then generates a box that says "Original Text... blah blah blah."  Both the highlight and the box are quite hideous and distracting.
Have resorted to the following settings: &ctf=false&ui=false&settings=notify , then tested it by changing my browser language preference to Spanish.  Nothing happened, it seems to defeat the whole functionality
of the widget.  
My sandbox page is: http://usedbqqks.com/widgets.html and the MS Translator codes are placed at the end of the body.
Also would love to have more control over the colors, size and initial placement of the widget.  I do realize that the default placement of the widget can be changed by the viewer using their mouse.
Further, I would love the ability to have better control over the list of languages.  The programmer should be able to modify how that list is displayed.  I would suggest the following options: 1. the original language, 2. "my" browser
language, 3 a flag, or 4. some combination of all three.  Example: Español (flag of Spain here) Spanish.  
Thank, Wally.

Thank you for your reply.  Earlier
I had found, read, digested and utilized the given options on the translator customization page that you mention.
I reviewed the languages, want all of them so that part is fine.  I was only interested in ways to
change the FORMAT in which the language list is DISPLAYED.  
The following options would be very useful: the name of each language in 1. the original language, 2. "my"
browser language, 3 a flag, or 4. some combination of all three.  
Example:
Español  Spanish || Français
 French.  
This language display thing is strictly an esthetic issue.  I can live with what you have.
The highlighting problem is a deal-breaker.  Seems a common concern...
(see:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/030255b0-81d1-4347-8387-969c30c3a551/microsoft-translator-widget-for-websites-disable-tooltips?forum=microsofttranslator&prof=required ) 
I will probably wait to implement translation until Microsoft provides control over when and if highlighting
appears.  Either that or until a less obtrusive third option emerges.  
Thanks again, Wally.

  • Translation Widget No Longer Working

    It feels like my computer is falling apart at the seems lately. Here is my newest annoying problem.
    My translation widget (that comes standard on mac) no longer shows the accent marks, or any other foreign language (for example Japanese, Chinese, etc.) for some reason.
    I have tried resetting the SMU and the PRAM. I have also tried closing the widget, deleting the plist for that files in the User/preferences folder and then opening the widget again on the dashboard, but it still doesn't work.
    What can I do to fix this problem? Oh, if anyone has suggestions can you please explain them step by step. I am a still a bit computer illiterate when it comes to Macs.
    Thanks!!!

    Try installing a fresh Translation Widget...

    If that sorts out the problem then while your widgets are active click the '+' sign and then the 'X' next to the old one to close it..

  • Translation widget- 2nd language undefined?

    Hi! I have an iBook G4 with Mac OS 10.4.4, and when i open the translation widget, it gives me a selection for the first language, but the second one says "undefined". If click on it, it says English, but if i click on it, it goes back to undefined. It also has a large SYSTRAN sign above it. Please help!!!!!!!

    No, mine is definitely a language translator. I use it all the time. The unit converter is called "Unit Converter". I don't know why your system is different.
    You can see the widget here (bottom-left; the screenshot is leopard but it exists in tiger as well): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304760
    There's a description of how it works here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2189.html

    This seems to be happening to everyone running Tiger now. I've entered a bug report on the Apple developer site, just in case they haven't noticed.

  • Translator Widget not responding

    My Translator Widget will not respond. The language select menus say "undefined" all the time. I have tried restarting it and repairing my disk permissions, but nothing helps. It's been doing this for awhile, and, as far as I can tell, nothing happened to trigger this peculiar behavior. Please help!

    Hi again:
    You are most welcome - glad to help.

  • Translation widget not working

    My Translation Widget in Dashboard has stopped working. It shows "undefined" as the second language and I can't enter text anyway. My other widgets appear to work fine. I've tried deleting both plists and restarting but no love. I have a second partition with a boot volume on it (also 10.4.11) and that one works correctly so I tried copying its plists over (and restarted) and that still didn't work.
    Any idea what I need to do? Will I have to reinstall on my usual volume in order to get it to work?

    Try this first...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.

    It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones.  I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

    Connect the iPhone to the compter you usually sync with
    and use iTunes on that computer to do the restore.

  • Translation Widget Inoperative

    For some reason, my stock translation widget just doesnt work anymore. The translation portion of it says "undefined" and has some glitchy looking font written behind the drop-down menu. And the "translate from" either says Chinese (Simplified) or English, which are the two I have been using most frequently. Actually, now that I think about it, ever since I changed my language preferences to Chinese after logging in one time (changing it back to English eventually), I have experienced this problem; however, that should not have messed up my computer.
    I have tried taking a new widget from my roommate's Macbook to overwrite my broken one, but it didn't change a thing.

    P.S. What in the world is a kernal_task in my Activity Viewer? It says it's taking up 453MB of RAM! That's absurd.

    I actually don't even have the ability to translate anything, so I can't say that is my problem... it simply either says English in both the "translate from" and "to" fields or Chinese (Simplified Han) when I press the swap button, so I don't get a chance to translate from either of the languages. Pretty obnoxious. There has to be a fix short of restoring my software from my disc. that would mess my computer up.

  • Translation Widget Problem

    Hello everyone. I am a pretty new apple user. Got to say im loving every minute of it. Well, two days ago my computer auto updated and since then for some reason my translation widget (came with comp) does not work. I can not type anything in it and it I cannot choose languages to use. Is there any way to reinstall it?

    I was having the same problem with the translator widget and did what you said: put my preferences folder on the desktop and restarted it.
    This led me to believe the problem was in the original preferences folder.
    It was! I found, at the bottom of the folder, the widgets. I just trashed them, and
    dragged the folder from my desktop back to my library replacing the new one that had formed. Restart and you should be good to go.
