#hover translation

[insomniacwriter17]

Is there anyone out there willing to help me troubleshoot why my attempts at adding hover translations to my ao3 fic aren't working? I've tried multiple tutorials, but none of them are working! This new story will have a lot more conversations as a whole being translated, not just single words, so I'd love inline translations instead of making readers scroll.

Just thought I'd run that out into the tumblr-space. If you're willing & able to help, feel free to shoot me a message! Thanks!!

Hover Translate/Hover Text

It's still possible to do this, though it's a little more tricky/confusing since the layout changed (yet again).

Firstly, using whatever means you prefer to translate - for me it's usually google translate - paste/type your text:

Next of all, highlight the text you want to be translated:

Click on the 'insert link' button and mark where you want the translation to go. Past or type in the translation or the text you want to appear when you hover over the words:

Go to the gear icon/settings in the upper right of the text box, click on it. Move down to the 'text editor' option and click on it. Select 'HTML'. 

 * It should be noted now that if you wish to include icons/gifs/pictures in your text post, do so before changing things to HTML.

The text post is now in HTML. This is where tumblr changed things a little. All along, there was a 'title' part of the code along with the link part of the code - 'href'. There is no longer a title part, which was the part we needed to create the hover translation/text.

Fret not, that can be fixed.

Go to where you typed in your translation/text you want to make hover:

Highlight the 'href' part and replace it with 'title' instead.

You can go ahead and press the post button now :)

Huh?

It was a late night. Spent cuddling, watching movies and exchanging stories and laughter. One of the best dates Jack's ever had. It left his heart light, and he had never been so happy. And it was all thanks to Ray. Cuddling the rabbit, sleepily, he whispers to him, too tired to process that it wasn't English that passed from his lips. "Je hebt geen idee hoeveel ik van je hou".

Huh?

Not many people knew that Jack spoke a second language. But that doesn't mean he doesn't like using it. It's fun to tease people that can't understand him. As he's doing right now, grinning at Ryan. "Een beetje gefrustreerd, zijn wij?"

"Huh?"

Another day, another series of events that leaves Geoff wondering how Gavin functions sometimes. It had been something small, left Geoff laughing, and for some reason, the words left him before he could process that he had slipped into German. "Du bist ein Idiot manchmal Verdammt, weißt du das?"
