Tutorial

A very quick howto:

1. Install the plugin
2. Configure languages and appearance

As a user:
1. Using the transposh widget, just select the language you want

As a translator:
1. Select the language you want to work with
2. Click the edit translation link
3. Use the interface to translate phrase, press translate and the text is translated…

Enjoy!

    Thanks for the tips!
    1. For now I will manually add tags to the post and post titles. That seems to be working ok. If anyone can give me more guidance on what code to insert to get it to work more seamlessly, that would be great.
    2. Your code for adding the warning is great except that it does not seem to work for posts translated into the default language from another language (i.e. from French into English). Is there some way to tweak the code to make it catch translations into the default language? Perhaps it would need to use a variable representing the wrapping language.

    Again, great plugin!

      1. If you want to code this as a part of the plugin, I’ll be happy to guide you, basically – take a look at the way comments are handled, when comments are posted, transposh saves a meta key for the language that was used when those were posted, later when a comment is displayed it is used to wrap it, this can be used in a similar fashion using the custom fields in the post editing screen to wrap the post later.
      2. What you want is kinda tricky, and I guess your best bet would be doing it in javascript using the meta translation-stats transposh generates, where you can see how many phrases were translated and in what fashion (eg. if all phrases were translated by a human, you probably don’t want to add your message, same if only a couple of phrases are translated at all (as happens with default language translation)) the meta is a json which can be used simply, let me know if something comes out of this and we’ll be able to share it with all.

      Good luck

    I have read through the posts, perhaps I missed it? Just a quick question. I have added your plugin to a Buddypress site that will be used by individuals from multiple countries with differing languages. If they post in their native language. Then another individual posts on the same page in a different language, and so on. Can they all be translated into a common language by this translator? Thank you so much for such a great plugin. I have added a link and thank you comment for all your amazing work on my site! THANK YOU!

      Hi Scott,

      When someone posts a comment on wordpress using their own language, the language is marked at the meta of the comment and is used to mark the language to display.
      When default language translate is enabled, that comment will also be translated
      Let me make an example.
      Assume that I have an English site and someone just posted an Italian comment.
      If I see the site in Spanish (or any other language) both the comment and the post will be translated to it.
      If I see the site in Italian, the post will be translated and the comment left unchanged
      If I see the site in English (and default translate is on) that the comment will be translated to English and the post is unchanged.

      I hope it makes things clear(er)

    Hi, I just tried to install Transpose with WordPress 3.0 deployed with domain mapping. I wanted to network activate (or even activate) the plugin and get the following error:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_original_url() (previously declared in C:\inetpub\vhost\wpblogs\wp-content\plugins\domain_mapping.php:488) in C:\inetpub\vhost\wpblogs\wp-content\plugins\transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress\core\utils.php on line 322

    Please let me know how to fix this issue. Thanks.

      Seems like there is a collision between transposh and the domain mapping plugin, will fix that in future versions using a bit smarter namespace.

    upon Transaling the Translate all progress bar freezes and IE shows up an error in transposhadmin.js line 17

      Hello,

      please use the latest version of transposhadmin.js from the trac site, and than let me know which line reports that error.
      however, this action is indeed javascript heavy, mainly as it triggers many requests to the translation services, a good idea would be to use it on a better browser, but
      this is indeed something that I should implement in future versions.

    Hi, I am building a website with WP.
    I do not expect to write a lot of posts or receiveing a lot of comments.
    Nevertheless I want to build it in different languages.
    Now the main one will be english (though I am italian) and then I was thinking to have it “translated” in other languages.
    Since I want to use also the SEO and the xml sitemap plugins how will work the system under those too?
    How can I address the right keyword for the right language post?
    And how the sitemap will it be built according to the different languages and pages?
    I hope to have been clear enough, should be the case please suggest also different approaches

    Thank
    Matteo

      Hello,

      Transposh translates (or attempts to translate) everything it can, this should normally include keywords. Also – there is an integration provided to XML sitemaps plugin which creates an appropriate sitemap.

      Hope this helps
