qTranslate and multilingual META tags

John — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 23:23:02 +0000

I use WordPress with qTranslate, but I needed to have multilingual META tags which qTranslate doesn’t support – so I wrote a plugin to do the job myself. It’s pretty basic, but I thought I would share in case anyone else needs something similar.

Plugin can be found on WordPress’ Plugin site here: qTranslate Meta at WP Plugin Directory.

Thanks

qTranslate Widget Validation Fixer – No longer necessary?

John — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:24:13 +0000

So after upgrading to qTranslate version 2.5 I am not longer getting the validation error I used to get, ie meaning the small plugin is no longer needed.

Can anyone else confirm this?

qTranslate and Theme Hybrid: Multilingual META fields

John — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:44:30 +0000

So I wrote this code for allowing multilingual editing of the META fields when using Theme Hybrid (the “Hybrid Settings” panel on any add/edit post/page.

Here is the functions.php file, this should of course be combined with whatever else you’re using..

This is still an early version, so if anyone tries it out let me know if you have any issues/feature suggestions!

qTranslate Widget Validation Fixer

John — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 09:17:33 +0000

This is a small plugin which fixes a validation error I was having with otherwise brilliant qTranslate plugin. Basically there were duplicate ID’s on the page, and I kept getting this error:
ID "qtranslate-3" already defined
For more, refer to this thread.

To date this doesn’t seem to have been fixed (I suspect not everyone experiences this issue), so I wrote a small plugin which manually re-writes on the qTranslate plugin files to get around the error.

Instructions:

Copy into your wp-content/plugins directory.
Activate it (with qTranslate already activated)
You can de-activate immediately afterwards.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 each time you update qTranslate
