Microsoft Translator Widget - Force Destination Language

Question

How do I force the Microsoft Translator widget to use a specific destination language without depending on the language sent by the browser?

I also had the same problem so thought I'd post how I fixed it.

I found that you can simply insert the language letter code into the widget's ajax URL. For example, search the widget code for this:

"/ajax/v2/widget.aspx?mode=auto&from=en&layout=ts"

Then you can just insert "&to=de" for example, if you want to translate to German. E.g.:

"/ajax/v2/widget.aspx?mode=auto&from=en&to=de&layout=ts"

As easy as that!
