Hi,

I am trying to add translation button on my website. Below is code.


Code:

<div id="google_translate_element"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">

function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
 
}

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>


I am getting smarty compilation error

Code:
Syntax error in template "modules/mymodule/views/templates/front/mymodule.tpl" on line 78 "new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');" - Unexpected ": ", expected one of: "}"


.
Code:



Any solution?

-Thanks

A Smarty template requires that one observe the following requirement:

Smarty uses braces for itself.

If braces are needed for other reasons, such as javascript or CSS, they must have interior whitespace, or the code be enclosed in {literal} and {/literal} tags.
Code:
{literal}<script type="text/javascript">

function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
}

</script>{/literal}
or
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement(
    {
      pageLanguage: 'en',
      layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
    },
    'google_translate_element'
);}

</script>

No need to be overzealous with formatting, enough that you insert a space between "{" and following letter to escape Smarty parser.
However, a better approach would be to either use {literal} block or wrap code into a function.
I'm using {include … inline} and keeping each insert in its own file, wrapped in {literal}'s if necessary.
