[Plugin: 012 Ps Multi Languages] Language Flag Not Displayed

How I wish I could edit my post above…unfortunately, a couple of days after I figured out the languages flag code (as per above), the author of the plug-in slightly changed one of the functions without changing the version number. This messed quite a few people up.

Please consult this post for pastebin links to flag code that works with the current version.

Thank you amonti and xdios (also for the link to yr site with other interesting blogs!), finally I have found the cause. I noticed the path to the icons in my error showed wp-content/themes/artificer/images/flags folder as the destiny … and they did not exist there, I had copied them to the wp-content/images/flags folder… copying the necessary .png to the right folder made the icons show properly. Simple as that… Sorry for the confusion. Rgds.

Trilobites: not exactly sure what you are asking, but widgets should be translated as part of the theme. Did you follow these instructions to add multiple languages to your WordPress installation?

If you edit the .POT files, you can simply use the “__” function to automatically translate strings into the users’ selected language.

For links, you can use the get_load_language() function of this plugin to dynamically determine language and display links (or whatever) based on the language selection, like so:

if ( function_exists( 'get_load_language' ) ) $curr_lang = get_load_language();
switch ( $curr_lang ) :
	case 'en' :?> (in all languages)<?php
		break;
	case 'de' :?> (in allen Sprachen)<?php
		break;
	case 'fr' :?> (dans toutes les langues)<?php
		break;
	default :?> (in all languages)<?php
		break;
endswitch;

I don’t think there’s any need to translate breadcrumbs as that’s something not seen by the user; please clarify your question if you think some sort of breadcrumb translation is required.

Hope this helps…

Hello amonti,

I would try to explain my problem better, sorry for my english.

I have a blog in my multilingual web(spanish default, french, portuguese and english) and I can´t use the multilingual options to translate the widgets sidebar and the footer. I only can choose one language, for example in english: “Recent Post”, “Latest Post”, but I don´t have the functionality to white the same text in other languages.

The second problem: In my theme you can show to the user the navigation with breadcrumbs, they are located close to the title. For example: “Home – Sectors- Energy” but alwais show like this “Home – Sectores (in spanish)- Energy”. Is very extrange because if you are in the section “Sectors” the breadcrumb is ok: “Home-Sectors”.

If you can give an email I will send you some sreenshoots.

Thank you very much for your help!!!

Best regards!!

Summary work for me:
Add the code follow in header.php of your theme:

<?php
// for multilanguage change flag
if ( function_exists( 'ps_012_multilingual_list' ) )
{
	$gs = ps_012_multilingual_list(false);
}
foreach(array_reverse($gs, true) as $key=>$val){
		$flags_dir = get_bloginfo('template_directory');
		$flags_dir .= '/images/flags/';
		$flag_icon = $flags_dir . $key . '.png';
		if ( ps_url_exists( $flag_icon )):
			if ($val['current']) {
				$flag_icon = '<img src="'.$flag_icon.'" style="float:right;margin:2px;border:1px solid #021a40;background-color:#ff0>"';
			}
			else
			{
				$flag_icon = '<img src="'.$flag_icon.'" style="float:right;margin:2px">';
			}
		endif;
		$html .= '<a href="'.$val['url'].'">'.$flag_icon.'</a>&nbsp';
	}

	echo $html;

?>
