Unfortunately, No. It assists search engines and browsers with different functions.

Thanks, so what is the best way to do it? Would using a plugin in WP do it?

I personally have never used a translator widget for any website but I am sure there are some out there. I did a quick search of Wordpress Plugins and some highly rated ones came up. If you're taking advantage of Wordpress mind as well give one of their translate products a whirl and find one you like!
