I have been working on a Google Translate integration for translating websites into other languages.  This feature depends on the use of external Google Translate functionality, which we can make available to you even though it is not functionality that we support ourselves.  This feature shows a new boxed entry at the bottom of the public menu that toggles the display of the Google Translate widget (from a hidden panel) when clicked.   Once the Google Translate widget is displayed, your website can be translated (via machine translation) to a wide variety of languages.
When Enabled =>  When Clicked =>

There is also a master setting in the Admin Console (Basic Settings) for whether the menu entry is displayed or hidden (hidden by default):

Our FTH team has been discussing this integration for the last two months.  Finding where to locate the widget has been a big part of those discussions.  

We specifically decided not to put it in the website banner so as to not mess with the branding.

I specifically set the default for the widget to be hidden since I believe that the majority of FTH using clubs are likely English speaking clubs.  However, I welcome our user feedback.   I realize that there will be some clubs that may want this implemented a bit differently.  Please keep in mind that we are integrating external functionality, which we do not have a lot of control over.  Using this external functionality allows us to provide some functionality without having to commit a lot of our very sparse resources.
