The Google AJAX Translation WordPress plugin provides a quick, simple, and light way to add translation to your blog.

A "Translate" button is added to the bottom of posts, pages, and/or comments. When the button is clicked a popup window opens showing a list of available languages. You can choose which of the 43 languages to display in the Administration Panel. The list of languages can be shown as text (in the native language of each language), as flag icons, or as both. Flag icons can be confusing and sometimes misleading so I recommend the text option. (See this google search for language flags.)

Most formatting, font, color, etc. changes can be made in the file google-ajax-translation.css or you can override them with your own CSS file.

The plugin detects the browser's preferred language and shows the "Translate" button in that language if available. That language is listed first in the popup. The tooltip for each language is also translated into the browser's preferred language. See this page for more information about setting your browser's preferred language.
