How to show the original language after translating?

Site URL: https://sepia-mouse-arn5.squarespace.com/

Hi all,

I used some code I found on Google to translate my Dutch website to English (through a Google Translate widget). It works perfectly and it does translate my Dutch content to English. However, I wish to add an option in the list to switch back to the original language.  Could somebody please help me with that?

Code I used:

Javascript:

<script>
  var GoogleLanguages = 'en'
</script>

<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'nl', includedLanguages: GoogleLanguages, layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, autoDisplay: false}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/squarestylist/translate-style.js"></script>

You can add any languages you like!

Simply edit the first script that you posted to include other language codes, for example for English, Dutch and French:

<script> var GoogleLanguages = 'en,nl,fr'; </script>

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply! I tried this too but when I switch from English back to Dutch, it doesn't show the "original Dutch content" but it actually translates the English content to incorrect Dutch. I also included some titles in English on my Dutch website, and those will also get translated to Dutch and I would like to keep them in English. So I'm trying to find a way to return from English to my own written, Dutch content. I hope that makes sense, haha. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet!

LOL. That's not helpful!

To be honest, I was posting from memory about the original Google implementation. I haven't seen the version you are using, but it looks like someone has tried to re-style the original Google version and in doing so they have hidden the Google translate bar. That bar normally contains the 'Show Original' link which removes the translation and puts everything back into the native language.

I think it's a re-styled version indeed! Do you perhaps know where I can find the original version?:) I'll give that a try!

Is there someone else who's able to help me?

You may find older articles describing workarounds, but the Google Translate widget was discontinued by Google in 2019 for new sites.
