How can I use google translate directly on sveltekit web pages


I've been having issues using google translator directly on my sveltekit web app using the following code

<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function googleTranslateElementInit() {
          new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
        }
  // googleTranslateElementInit()
     </script>

I've tried several approaches, for example putting the code in <svelte:head></svelte:head> but yet it's kept appearing and disappearing. Please how can I achieve this, Note I'm using Static adapter, thanks in advance


Solution

  • I had to load the script manually after mounting of component. It works with SvelteKit too.

    onMount(() => {
    loadTranslate()
    setTimeout(function () {
        googleTranslateInit()
    }, 3000)
    })
    function googleTranslateInit() {
        const checkIfGoogleLoaded = setInterval(() => {
            if (google != null && google.translate != null && google.translate.TranslateElement != null) {
                clearInterval(checkIfGoogleLoaded)
    
                googleTranslateElementInit()
            }
        }, 1000)
    }
    
    function googleTranslateElementInit() {
        new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en' }, 'google_translate_element')
    }
    function loadTranslate() {
        loading = true
        if (browser) {
            const domElement = document.createElement('script')
            domElement.setAttribute('src', '//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js')
            domElement.onload = () => {
                loadedTranslate = true
            }
            document.body.appendChild(domElement)
        }
    }
    </script>
    
    <template>
        <div id="google_translate_element" class="mb-2"></div>
    </template>
