Modifying Output Of Google.translate.translateelement.inlinelayout.vertical

I've read this answer Modifying element from google.translate.TranslateElement results as well as others dealing with modifying the style and loading of the Google Translate transl

Solution 1:

Is there a more efficient way to change the text of .goog-te-combo option:first from Select a Language to Translate?

Looks like the timer is needed but it is enough if you wait for 0 milliseconds.

how can I get .fadeIn to work on the google-translate div so that changing the text from Select a Language to Translate and hiding .goog-logo-link is hidden until the entire div is faded in?

To get the fadeIn to work you first need to set display:none; with css.

This is what it looks like (I have removed the line which removes the google link because that's violation of the terms of use)

(Unfortunaltely the stacksnippet doesn't work) that's why here is the working jsFiddle link

functiongoogleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({
  pageLanguage: 'en', includedLanguages: 'af,ach,ak,am,ar,az,be,bem,bg,bh,bn,br,bs,ca,chr,ckb,co,crs,cs,cy,da,de,ee,el,en,eo,es,es-419,et,eu,fa,fi, fo,fr,fy,ga,gaa,gd,gl,gn,gu,ha,haw,hi,hr,ht,hu,hy,ia, id,ig,is,it,iw,ja,jw,ka,kg,kk,km,kn,ko,kri,ku,ky,la, lg,ln,lo,loz,lt,lua,lv,mfe,mg,mi,mk,ml,mn,mo,mr,ms,mt, ne,nl,nn,no,nso,ny,nyn,oc,om,or,pa,pcm,pl,ps,pt-BR, pt-PT,qu,rm,rn,ro,ru,rw,sd,sh,si,sk,sl,sn,so,sq,sr, sr-ME,st,su,sv,sw,ta,te,tg,th,ti,tk,tl,tn,to,tr,tt, tum,tw,ug,uk,ur,uz,vi,wo,xh,yi,yo,zh-CN,zh-TW,zu',
  layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.VERTICAL
  }, 'google_translate_element');
}


$(window).on('load', function() {
  $('.goog-te-gadget').html($('.goog-te-gadget').children());
  $("#google-translate").fadeIn('1000');


  functioncleartimer() {     
      setTimeout(function(){ 
          window.clearInterval(myVar); 
      }, 500);             
  }
  functionmyTimer() {
      if ($('.goog-te-combo option:first').length) {
          $('.goog-te-combo option:first').html('Translate');
          cleartimer();
      }
  }
  var myVar = setInterval(function(){ myTimer() }, 0); 

});

#google-translate {
  display: none;
}
