Google Website translator translates only single page in Rails

Question

I'm trying to have a multi language website in rails.
So I added the google translate from here

I added the meta script to my application.html.erb so that my whole site is translated.
And the div to my index page only.

But it just translates the index page and not the whole site. When I open the links in the index page they don't get translated. I don't want to add that div to every page in my site.I read this stackoverflow sloution here but that is not working for me. Suggest a solution.

I'm also aware of the Rails I18n library for internationalization but I guess I need to write all the translations myself manually, which I don't want to do.

Can I18n be automated like Google translator?

Are there any alternatives to that which work in fine in Rails?

Answer 1

You have to add the Google translate plugin code to every page or to which ever page you want to make it work .
