Language Translate Option Added

[EpicNPC]

Since a good part of our visitors and members are from non-English speaking countries, we have decided to add a language selector option. At the top right of the site, you'll see a new Google Translate drop-down menu. Users can now select any language they want and browse the site in that language.

English is still the primary language of the site, so members are still required to post in English.

Great addition. One thing though, I think if it was on the top instead of in the bottom of the page it would be easier to find and people are more likely to use it.

I added it myself since it was a simple plugin, but moving it would require some coding.

I put it in the footer and it's one of the last elements to load, but if I moved it to the top, it would be one of the first. Before it can load, it has to hit Google first, so if there's any issue, it would prevent the page from loading. Obviously that wouldn't be good. Even without any problem it would very slightly increase page load times if it was on the top, so before we move it up there, we'll have to code it so it still loads last.

We'll try to make the change by the end of tomorrow.

I wouldn't be able to find it if you didn't mention it. Perhaps it needs a custom button or anything so that users can recognize it?

It's been moved to the top right.
