Hi Tim, If you put the translate Element code on a page, like you already tried, and you link to that page with "#googtrans/en/ja" on the end of the URL, it will open an immediately translate. For example, http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html#googtrans/en/ja Would open the url http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html and immediately translate it from English to Japanese.
