HTML - Global translate Attribute

A global attribute called translate was created to facilitate the translation and internationalization of web content. It can be used to define whether or not the content of a variety of HTML elements should be translated when the page is shown in different languages. Developers can control the translation behavior of particular content by setting "translate" to "yes," "no," or "inherit," making it simpler to design multilingual websites and enhancing accessibility.

This attribute is essential for making sure that web information is simple to understand and adapt to many linguistic and cultural contexts.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the translate attribute −

<element translate = "no/yes" >

Example

In the following example, we are creating an HTML document and using the translate attribute to ask translation tools not to translate the company’s brand name in the footer section.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <footer>
      <small> © 2020 <span translate="no">tutorialspoint</span></small>
   </footer>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the text displayed on the webpage.

Example

The following example illustrates the usage of the onerror event attribute within the <link> element. If the external link does not load, then we get an alert message.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <h1>tutorialspoint</h1>
   <h2>translate attribute</h2>
   <p translate="yes">This can be translated</p>
</body>
</html>

On running the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the text on the webpage.
