Verify an entity is translated I want to add a "add translation now" button on nodes and other entities too. I'm using the Entity translation module, and I added two languages to the site. 

I thought about getting the original translation and then loop through the translation data, checking if there is more than just the original language inside.   

Is there a better way to do this?
Actually if you are doing field translation then there is no point of having translate now link at Node level. For this there is always translate primary tab for this. see in screenshot. 

Still if you want to achieve this functionality, loop through this array within node object. 

$node-&gt;translations-&gt;data


Do this in module file in hook_preprocess_HOOK here it will be hook_preprocess_node and pass a variable to node.tpl.php
