So if anyone comes across my problem, you should do a test post with the phrase inside the copy, have it translated and correct the translation to take the apostrophe out of it, it will fix the URL in the original translated post. It’s not perfect though because the phrase will be wrong (leaving Farmers Market instead of Farmer’s Market) but it’s a quick fix.

Thanks so much for the idea Ofer.

Hi I love your plugin, but I’m having a problem with one page: it translated farmer’s market with the ‘ sign on the url, so I think that keeps it from working right…

You can see the error by clicking on the USA flag (upper right corner) on this link:

Any ideas how could I fix this? Perhaps touching something on the database or transposh cache?

The redirect plugin did the trick as 404′s are all redirecting to a set page. Have a look at http://www.calabria2010.com/calabria/component/option,com_weblinks/task,view/catid,922/id,21/lang,it/
as an example of a page created and now redirected.

As for meta I use the first 160 words of the post for the excerpt – I am using all in one seo which is where the problem may be. It sometimes translates some of this but normally not all of it.

Look forward to the update… thanks again.

The meta issue is being worked on, it also gets translated if it matches an existing phrase on the page, a future version will tackle this better.

I don’t get the 404 errors, those should not happen, but if you want me to really see them I need to see a url that creates such bad links

good luck

(URL) /component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/lang,it/

I have added the no 404 errors plugin and I hope this works.

I am also getting quite a few duplicate Meta descriptions and title tags – is there anyway round this?
Thanks again.

Good luck

Also the widget for transposh – would it be possible to have on as a header at the top so on everypage the flags appear as a small header running across the top of the page for easier navigation?

If the pages are not pages do search engines see what is stored in the translation table and read these as pages?
Thanks

We thought we fixed it on 0.5.4 (this happened on pages that had for example hi (for hindi) in thier url, and it got translated) if it still happens, just reply with a url for us to test.

sorry for not replying sooner, and godspeed

The sometimes is when the url was not yet translated, if you enabled translate on post it should happen rather quickly, the translate all also works, however unfortunately there still is no way to fix this translation. Will be in some future
a nice addition might be to create a 301 response when the url is not exactly accurate, however this would be a tricky patch and we are not sure we want to focus our energy there.
The meta description is also being translated, as good as the plugin can for now. The idea is that in a coming future version we’ll create an interface to show all fragments that exists on the page, metas included.
There are no pages stored on the server for editing, but you can always update the translation table directly, although I won’t recommend this.

Good luck
