Google brought translation features to many of our products in 2009, including
Google Docs and
Gmail and we're happy to add one more before the New Year. To make it easier for people around the globe to read the site you created with
Google Sites, we've integrated with the
Google Translate Element. Now, whenever someone visits a Google Site in another language, they will be given the option to translate the content into the language of their choice. All they have to do is click on the translate link at the bottom right-hand side of the page. Now, the content on your site can be translated into 51 languages, allowing you to reach a whole new audience. Check out this before and after for a Korean school's website below (or
try it out for yourself).

We hope this feature helps expand your Google site's reach to more people.
