Make search box placeholder translatable
-
Looks like you forgot to let that “Search” word inside search box get translated as well.
By the way your plugin saved my site responsiveness feature.
Thanks a lot.

And here comes another enhacement for this plugin.
Search functionality isn’t WPML compatible. This is an increasing requested feature that follows localization.
To make it compatible we need to transform the URL submission search in this:
eg: http://www.mydomain.com/en/?s=oursearchWPML plugin became a standard in multilanguage for WordPress, so use their API is wise, nevertheless Polylang is another multilanguage plugin which I use, growing faster in users, that has a WPML compatibility interface.
This is just to justify the type of selection being made when it comes to multilanguage.To have my responsive menu search box working in a multilanguage environment using Polylang plugin and able to work with WPML as well, I hacked the plugin at /responsive-menu/app/library/responsive-menu/View.php and edited this function as follows:
/** * Function to format and display the search bar in the main menu * * @param array $status * @return string * @added 2.0 */ static function searchBar() { if (function_exists('icl_get_home_url')) { ?> <form action="<?php echo icl_get_home_url(); ?>" id="responsiveSearch" method="get" role="search"> <?php } else { ?> <form action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" id="responsiveSearch" method="get" role="search"> <?php } ?> <input type="search" name="s" value="" results=5 autosave=responsive-menu placeholder="<?php echo __('Search', 'responsive-menu'); ?>" id="responsiveSearchInput"> <input type="submit" style="display: none;" /> </form> <?php }Note that it includes the correction to the search box placeholder translation and the replacement of
get_site_url()byhome_url()Hopefuly this will be the last correction to this function.:)
W3C validator returns 2 errors on it:
Attribute
results=5and attributeautosave=responsive-menufor the<input>tag.Hi miguel,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I have now made the Search part translateable, included the WPML function support and removed the invalid markup so the W3C validator should return back with no errors in the 2.2 beta.
If you can download and test it for me, then that would be great. You can find it on the following URL:

Many thanks

Hi Peter
Let it be me thanking you for your nice job with this plugin instead.
It is working as expected and after looking more deep into the code, looks like it’s fully WPML compliant.
- You’re firing strings translation with
plugins_loaded - You already have a wpml-config.xml file for the most important options.
After this small improvement, you should announce at plugin’s features, Multilanguage support (WPML and Polylang).
Sorry, I’ve spoken too soon.
The options from wpml-config.xml, which I’m reproducing here:
<wpml-config> <admin-texts> <key name="RMOptions"> <key name="RM" /> <key name="RMClickTitle" /> <key name="RMTitle" /> <key name="RMImage" /> <key name="RMClickImage" /> </key> </admin-texts> </wpml-config>need to be present at
wp_otionstable, so that the multilanguage plugin can filter them and make them translatable. Looks like you’re using a different aproach and thus those options fields never get extended to receive different values for each language.
Not sure, but it sounds to me they should be registered using:
register_setting( $option_group, $option_name, $sanitize_callback );Hi miguel,
Those options are available in the wp_options table.
The wp_options table will include an option named “RMOptions” and then is an array that holds the keys “RM”, “RMClickTitle” etc.
I have this setup on my development sites and they work correctly with Polylang/WPML.
Many thanks
Peter
That’s great.
Then I guess your plugin has full WPML support now.
My configuration isn’t returning available those options for translation, but it might be related with something else than your plugin which I’ll have to pay atention.
Hi miguel,
Thanks for your kind suggestions and words for the plugin.
Please let me know if you experience any other issues and I will look to help out.
Many thanks
Peter
