Hello,
Could you please explain what is Enable automatic translation for? I can´t find out the difference when I check the box.
Great widget. Thanks a lot.
- #2 by amir on March 25, 2009 - 10:15 am
  
  Hello,
  
  ‘Enable automatic translation’ will translate the page when it is first viewed (using google translate) – regardless if you are in edit mode or not .
  In edit mode (i.e. transposh’s checkbox) the page will always be first automatically translated via automatic tools, you later on can improve the translation by editing it by hand.
  
  Enjoy

Hi, I can’t get it to translate at all.
The “Allow automatic translation of pages” option is ticked.
I’m running WordPress 2.7.1
Just a thought, do I need to install WordPress .mo language files for the languages I want to translate?
Feel free to click my link and see for yourself, but any hints would be very welcome.
#4 by Angela on March 27, 2009 - 1:19 am

Thanks for the answer amir. Now I try to translate some sentences but as soon as I uncheck the edit mode the changes disappear. Do I have to do anything to save them?
#5 by daniel on May 6, 2009 - 4:55 pm

will it cause many problems ? eg, 404 error when the cache expired
- #6 by ofer on May 16, 2009 - 8:55 pm
  
  Does not work this way, the plugin can’t create 404 errors (unless badly configured with permalinks)
#7 by MarkO on May 14, 2009 - 12:14 pm

Great plugin, really smooth.
Is there any code I can use to add it to my template and not just as a widget?
- #8 by ofer on May 16, 2009 - 8:56 pm
  
  Thanks for the question,
  
  Just add
  < ?php if(function_exists("transposh_widget")) { transposh_widget(array()); } ?>
  
  To your template
  - #9 by MarkO on May 17, 2009 - 10:47 am
    
    Thanks for this. In case anybody else tries to use the code there’s and extra space after the first character which shouldn’t be there. It should read:
    - #10 by leo on September 3, 2009 - 1:29 pm
      
      where exactly you put it on the index.php page ?
      if yes where ? i cant figure it out.
      
      thanks
      - #11 by ofer on September 3, 2009 - 1:40 pm
        
        Most templates include a place for widgets, and than you use the wordpress interface to modify the sidebar. If your template is different you can probably use the code that’s in the FAQ. If you have a more specific issue, just contact me via email.

        Those are just notices, nothing that interferes with normal usage. If those bother you I’d suggest reducing php error report level.

Hi i really love this plugin and I really apreciate your work on it.
I wrote a review on my blog.
WordPress transposh plugin
I hope it will be helpfull for you and your blog
#15 by Peter on June 12, 2009 - 9:50 pm

hi, GREAT widget – some kind of democratization of the languages in times of globalisation, eh? ))
small feedback at the side: phrases are not similarly constructed in different languages, neither is the interpunctuation.. by this system of translating phrases there will be either wrong translation phrases in the database or wrong translation solutions or at least wrong interpunctuation.. perhaps it would be a solution to make the phrases shiftable (via drag and drop) )))))))
#16 by CardHouse on June 25, 2009 - 4:55 pm

I use wp-2.7.1 and can’t get anything to work. Any suggestions.
#17 by JizzyG on June 28, 2009 - 6:18 am

Great plugin but how do I stop certain links from having the language folder name inserted into it? So I just want to use default link instead like – http://www.example.com/link.html not http://www.example.com/de/link.html

Do you have any shortcode to put around these links or whatever to stop them from being manipulated?
- #18 by ofer on June 28, 2009 - 7:14 am
  
  Hello,
  In order to avoid translation of any part (links included) you can add the class “no_translate” to the item itself or surround it with a parent with this class (a span element works nicely)

I cant recover and create new database for this plugin ! (even when i delete plugin and reinstal it)

Do someone know where are the settings stored?
I have to delete all settings to create new database Table…

  You need to delete the transposh_db_version from the wp_options table, this will work..

#32 by Jan on July 28, 2009 - 7:39 am

Hi,

at first: Great idea- great plugin!
But one question:
When I click on the flag at my start page (welcome) it takes me to the blog page of my website instead of translating my welcome page. Moreover clicking than on e.g. Welcome in english translation it takes me also again to my blog page.

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
Thanks alot for your help. (It seems that Jim has a similar problem- only vice versa)

Best regards

Jan
- #33 by ofer on July 28, 2009 - 7:43 am
  
  Hello Jan
  
  what you state is indeed a bug I’d guess its somehow coming from wordpress and couldn’t quite nail what to fix there.
  
  I’ll see what can be done…
#34 by Stefano on July 31, 2009 - 12:15 pm

Hi guys.
I am having a very strange problem with the plugin, which I love and I wouldn’t like to uninstall it just for this…

My site is in English, but for some reason some words appear different…
Let’s explain. The site is about SEO (at the moment it’s on a test server). In an article I wrote “folders” and for some reason it appears as “leaflets”. Same thing with ALT tag, it writes TOTAL tag! What is this due to? I tried with the editing, but those words remain wrong.

I hope someone will have a solution. It would be quite strange to read a sentence saying ”
The use of keywords for names is useful for files, leaflets, images, files to be downloaded…”.

It appears like that as a tag as well, but NOT in the title of the post, where it’s “folder” just as I wrote it.

I’m using WP 2.8.2.

Best regards,
Stefano
- #35 by ofer on July 31, 2009 - 9:24 pm
  
  My guess is that you are enabling default language translation option, just disable it
#36 by Paul on August 24, 2009 - 12:59 pm

Hi,

Ive just installed this and think its great. i just have 1 question tho, when i allow people to translate the page, they click on the icon next to the text which brings up the input window, but how do you define what language you are translating to??

Many thanks
- #37 by ofer on August 24, 2009 - 4:27 pm
  
  Thanks,
  
  Its quite simple, they are translating to the target language they have chosen (which appears in the url)

hi, is there a way to use this script for a non-wordpress site?
- #39 by ofer on August 31, 2009 - 9:35 am
  
  Not yet, although its being worked on and is possible
#40 by Ghost In The Shell on September 1, 2009 - 9:24 pm

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

Erm, where is this located exactly?

  I guess you mean the widget, did you add it to your template?
#42 by joe on September 7, 2009 - 10:57 am

how come i check other language using transposh on google and they are not indexed!?
- #43 by ofer on September 7, 2009 - 11:26 am
  
  Hi Joe,
  
  They become indexed after google visited them, and a user visited first, because the google visit does not trigger the translation process.
  You can always use a tool to go over your pages in a browser after adding a post
  - #44 by JT on November 15, 2009 - 12:27 am
    
    If I’m comfortable editing the php, is there any way to make it so that a visit from google DOES trigger the tranlsations? I have several thousand pages on my site and google has started following the links from the flags, but they are all being indexed in english because no real surfer has hit the translation buttons yet. I’m afraid of getting in trouble for spamming when they index what will look like 20-30 copies of the same content since nothing is translated yet.
#45 by Ari on September 7, 2009 - 1:48 pm

#47 by Paul on September 8, 2009 - 11:08 am

Hello,
thank you for the plugin.
I’m translating a website into another language with it right now.
There is one problem – RSS feed doesn’t work when clicked through a translated page, it shows an error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://lambdaschool.cn/zh/feed/
Line Number 1, Column 1:“?XML版本=”1.0″UTF – 8的?“
^

RSS feed works fine on the default English page.
I’m guessing the plugin is trying to translate some part of code. How could I fix this?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
#57 by Thomas on November 13, 2009 - 11:06 pm

transparency-effect for flag-list;
this makes the flags transparent and show them opaque on mouse over;

[code]
/* translator plugin flag transparency */
.transposh_flags a span:hover, .transposh_flags a img:hover {
border-color: transparent }
.transposh_flags a span, .transposh_flags a img {
opacity: .4;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=40)";
filter: alpha(opacity=40); }
.transposh_flags a:hover span, .transposh_flags a:hover img {
opacity: 1;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)";
filter: alpha(opacity=100); }
[/code]

Put this snippet to any of your CSS-files, preferable at the end of /css/transposh_widget.css inside the plugin directory.
#58 by Andre Marchandise on November 15, 2009 - 1:07 am

Great widget, thanks for sharing!

Like other people I had the problem that the manual translations could not be saved.

Analysis showed that the ajax POST was redirected:

———————————————
http://eroticoon.com/wp

POST /wp HTTP/1.1
Host: eroticoon.com
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Referer: http://eroticoon.com/wp/nl/?edit=1
Content-Length: 155
Cache-Control: no-cache
lang=nl&source=0&translation_posted=1&items=1&tk0=dG8gcGFydGljaXBhdGUgaW4gdGhlIDR0aCBlZGl0aW9uIG9mIHRoZQ%2C%2C&tr0=om+deel+te+nemen+aan+de+4e+editie+van+de
HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:25:51 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 Connection: close
———————————————

and resulted in a GET of the same URL with a / appended (which is not OK )

———————————————

http://eroticoon.com/wp/

GET /wp/ HTTP/1.1
Host: eroticoon.com
Cache-Control: no-cache

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:25:52 GMT
Connection: close
——————————————–

I’ve checked and even removed all .htaccess files, both in my www-root and /wp subdirectory, but this did not resolve the probem.
I presume that this redirect for directories without trailing / has been set at the system level by my ISP ( my blogs run on two different shared servers ).

So, I’ve changed the POST-coding in the transposh.js file by adding a “/” to the POST URL:

jQuery
.ajax( {
type : “POST”,
url : transposh_params.post_url + “/”,

IMHO this mod should also work for installations that don’t had the problem up till now.

Best regards,
André
#59 by Casey on November 16, 2009 - 8:11 pm

When I edit the translation, how do I save it? I can’t seem to figure out how to keep the edits that I’ve already done. It simply returns to the former word if I change pages. Any help?

#62 by Filippo on December 7, 2009 - 5:42 pm

Hi,
the plugin is awesome and works great!
But I have a question: can i run an automatic translation of every post in the blog written before installing transposh?

The problem in that the googlebot sees every page not yet translated in the original version (maybe because of the ajax): in that way Google sees replicated content on my site.

I created also an application in java that parses every page of the site, but it works in the same way of the googlebot.

Could you help me?
- #63 by ofer on December 7, 2009 - 5:53 pm
  
  This is on the todo, but for now, go to the edit page, and if you have enabled:
  “Do automatic translation immediately after a post has been published”
  just hit publish and they’ll be translated.
  A word of warning though, google may not be fund of too much translation and may decide to temporarily block the ip you are using, but even so, this will not block your server or further translations from your users.
  Good luck!
  - #64 by Filippo on December 7, 2009 - 6:38 pm
    
    Hi Ofer,
    thank you for the quick response!
    I tried your suggest but it doesn’t work for me: if I update an existing post it does not generate the translated version of the page.

Hi Ofer

Thanks for the nice plugin. You’ve referred to this already in #16 & #17 but I’m not sure how to apply it. Where and how do I put the class “no_translate” so that my post titles and links aren’t translated?

cheers
- #66 by ofer on December 24, 2009 - 2:11 pm
  
  You probably need to go inside your theme and see the html elements that wrap what you don’t translated and add class=”no_translate”, also In the case of titles I would recommend using another span, so the links will be translated even if the content stays untouched
#67 by audioscapist on December 24, 2009 - 4:27 pm

thanks for the quick reply Ofer -gonna give it a go

#68 by evaldas on January 5, 2010 - 4:14 pm

hello.
thanks for great wordpress plugin. however I would like to ask if this plugin is able to change some pictures in my site dependence of language? example if visitor is selected English(default) than default picture… but if visitor change language to any other.. than picture can change or no?
- #69 by ofer on January 5, 2010 - 5:50 pm
  
  Hello,
  You can use the $my_transposh_plugin->target_language in your theme as a part of the img tag
  Assuming you have something like
  <img src="image.jpg">
  You can do something like
  <img src="image-<?php echo $my_transposh_plugin->target_language;?>.jpg">
  You will need to have a few images, with the proper language name, and you will probably have to add the default language name to the original image such as image-en.jpg
  
  This is not the best possible solution, (for example, there’s no default image) but this can do for a few images and a few languages,
  Good luck
  - #70 by Davido on May 27, 2010 - 4:35 pm
    
    I have a strange error. I have a url link in the footer of the theme I am using. If I am on the homepage of my site which i translated (using your plugin) to Japanese, the url link is correct, for example -
    
    http://www.examplesite.com/ja/reviews/tv
    
    But if I press on that link and go to that page and then I take a look at the same url link again, it’s like this -
    
    http://www.examplesite.com/ja/reviews/reviews/tv
    
    So it has two occurrences of the directory ‘reviews’ in my link, why is that?
    
    It only occurs on pages that link to themselves.
    - #71 by ofer on May 27, 2010 - 10:26 pm
      
      Is the link a complete one or relative? link to the real page would be better for me to see
      - #72 by Davido on May 27, 2010 - 10:41 pm
        
        It’s a relative link, i’ve tried them all to no avail, -
        
        TV Reviews
        
        TV Reviews
        
        TV Reviews
        
        If I am on a page and I click the link in the footer to that same page it adds an extra /reviews/ to the url. So i end up with something like this if I click the link 4 times -
        
        http://www.examplesite.com/ja/reviews/reviews/reviews/reviews/reviews/tv
        
        Crazy, I have seen this behavior before somewhere but can’t put a finger on it at the moment. Any ideas?
      - #73 by ofer on June 1, 2010 - 7:32 am
        
        You should probably use the second format to avoid the conflicts, although again, I should probably see the full page, feel free to open a ticket and attach a sample html there (at trac.transposh.org)

Hi. I’ve a question, when I do “edit” translation i got the wrong message: Server failure, cannot translate? How come i get that?
- #78 by ofer on February 14, 2010 - 8:30 pm
  
  You have an issue with the url, as your wordpress is configured to goals.se as the homepage while you actually redirect to http://www.goals.se,
  This is already solved in the svn, so if you want I’ll send you a pre-release version or you can wait for the next release.

Hi,
great plugin but i habe one question:

is it possible to autotranslate posts to my default language? e.g.: My default language is english, now im writing a post in spanish. I want the plugin to autotranslate this post to english. The spanish post should only be accessible through /es/

  Hello,
  There’s a translate default language which can work for you, we will probably enhance this feature in coming versions

Your plugin looks great, I use global translator but it generate lots of google webmaster tool issues.

How is your plugin doing with the webmaster tool ?

Thanks
Guy

  It is doing quite well, This site has a sitemap with 2500+ urls, of which ~1500 are indexed, with no noticeable errors.
  
  Good luck.

Hi there,

Great plugin. I’ve got it working with no probs except being able to manually edit the translated text.

I click on edit translation, then lots of little boxes appear after words/sentences but how do i edit them? I click on the boxes but nothing happens…how do i access the edit interface?

Thanks in advance
- #85 by ofer on April 20, 2010 - 8:48 pm
  
  Hi,
  
  If clicking the boxes does not work, it normally means there’s a conflict with another plugin, as I was unable to see this on your site I can’t tell you what and where exactly, but I would suggest looking at the javascript error console, preferably in firebug.

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
I cannot see anything like this: no edit translation link. I log on as admin, admin is checked as translator available in settings. If I set language (i.e. english) editable (yellow color), I no more see the flag in website and have no way to translate. What’s the matter ?
Last thing : the tplogo.jpeg icon doesn’t appear in the widget, as the link works.

  Hello Francis,
  
  You can see this interface on this site, I assume that something is wrong with the configuration somewhere. Please see if it works with anonymous translation enabled. Let me know how it works and I’ll do my best to make it work for you.
  
  Good luck

    Yes, it works with Anonymous. My theme is PrimePress, my hosting provider Infomaniak (switzerland). Last version of Apache, last PHP 5. I have no problem to to update translations directly in database with phpMyAdmin, but it’s a little bit fastidious!
    My wjsh is to improve google automatic english translations.
    Thanks for your support

  Please send us a link to a feed with the issue so we can test

This plugin is wonderful, still can not understand it all. I have two questions…

1) there is any way that the interface is in Spanish?

2) one of the files. php include Zulu and Yoruba. there any way to enable them? especially Yoruba, because they do not see this beautiful language to select.

thank you very much.

  Hello,
  
  First, thanks for the Spanish comment, it allowed me to test the feature that allows translation of comments in non default language of the site. (seems ok )
  
  For your questions
  1. Not yet, but I guess that a time will come when it will be fixed
  2. You need to edit the constants file and add the languages you want to the array
  
  Good luck

Hello everyone,

when I change language with the plug-in Transposh and browse the links, sometimes it cancels the navigation and see a blank page.

How can I fix?

Thank you for this wonderful plug-in and my best regards.

  Hello,
  
  Your best bet would be the error logs, although I do see the problem, I have no clue on what might be causing it. Blank pages in wordpress are normally caused by some php error, but there is no reason what so ever that it will work on one language and not on another.

    Thanks for the quick response …

Hi – thanks for this plug-in! Its a great tool!

I have a question though: I have an English WordPress installation and wrote my posts in German.
I cant get it done to translate these German posts to English, playing around with default language and the option ‘allow translation of default language’. Also autotranslating when publishing didnt translate the german language to english (I guess bc it thinks it is english?) Basically: Where can I define in which language I am writing my posts?

Thanks for your thoughts!
Michael

  Hello,
  
  You need to define the default language in transposh, the wordpress install language does not matter, on the option page – drag German to the top to replace English as the default, and hopefully it will work

    This is exactly what I did and it wont work.
    Progress bar in widget is enabled. drop down list
    Default language Deutsch (German)
    When switching to any language besides german or english I can watch the translation happening with the progress bars. When switching to deutsch or english – nothing happens – the progress bar doesnt come up.
    If you would like to test, login with TESTER as user and password within the next 15 min and have a look.
    Thanks for your help!

      Hello Mike,
      
      I have done some more research, and I think the error is due to the fact your template defines the “en” language in the html (see the first tag – html) you probably need to change this to de

        Hi Ofer,
        
        thanks for your analysis and help – It does work when I am using a different template.
        Will dig into this en language hint – thank you for the heads up!
        
        Have a great day!

Hello and thanks for this great plugin.

I’m using english to french translation and would like to know if there is way to redirect, for example, domain.com/fr to domain.com/

The goal is to display the french translation in the root domain.

Thanks,

Fabien
- #104 by ofer on June 24, 2010 - 2:41 pm
  
  Hello Fabien,
  
  I guess that you can create a redirection rule in your .htaccess file to do that, although this is not how it is supposed to work, in the case you just described the proper way is to write the blog in French, and translating it to English, problem solved…
  
  Good luck
#105 by Tnek on July 6, 2010 - 6:41 am

This program seems great. Two quick questions:

1) I’ve set English as my default language but I sometimes post in French. I have also set it to allow translation of default language. However, when I post in French, the plugin seems to think the post is in English, and does not translate it into the default language (English). Is there a way to fix this (i.e. to make sure it translates from French to English as well as English to French)?

2) I would like to add some text to any pages that are translated, saying that the text is not necessarily accurate. Any tips on how to do that? I’m guessing I would add something to my theme, but I’m not sure what.

Thanks!
- #106 by ofer on July 6, 2010 - 2:32 pm
  
  Hello,
  
  1. You need to wrap your French posts with a lang="fr" tag wrapping, adding this to the post interface won’t be too hard so if anyone wants to code that I’ll be happy to guide.
  2. A release which includes pluggable widgets is coming, in this release it would be rather simple to do that, however for now you can use a code similar to the following:
  if ($my_transposh_plugin->target_language != $my_transposh_plugin->options->get_default_language()) { echo "This page was auto translated"; }
  The nice effect would be that this phrase will get translated as well
  
  Good luck
