Add Custom Google Translator Widget in Blogger Template

Translator widget is necessary for any native website or Blog. Suppose your site is in Bangla or Hindi language but containing some unique articles, in this case by using translator people from any other language speaker can read your contain and enrich their knowledge. In many cases we have seen that some local website with native language publish article or information first at that case if that website or Blog content translator widget then readers from around the world can read that article. Similarly in Google Blogger we have a default widget but may users don't like to add it because of generic style and looks. So I have created a custom translator widget which will looking professional and this will match with many types of template. Another feature of this widget your can change the translator button color easily and this is very easy to install in Blogger template.
