I’m not familiar with qtranslate, but I know that some people are successfully using Meteor Slides with WPML Multilingual CMS.
With WPML it switches the content depending on the language, does qtranslate work the same way or are the two slideshows you are referring to on the same page at the same time?
I just started out testing if qtranslate is the right solution for my site, so I can’t say I am familiar with it. I can see, that only one language at a time is loaded. When using the language button the page is reloaded with the proper language. But both languages have been written in the same page.
The only difference her is, that I have changed the name of the slide-show in the tag:
<center>[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”changes”] <p><?php the_title(); ?></p> </center>
The first picture with it’s title load correct, but the rest of the list is gone.
In the primary language it reads:
<center>[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”forandringer”]<?php the_title(); ?> </center>
Here the slide-show works, but the first slide is the one from the english version, then follow the others correctly. Also the titles are displayed correctly, in english for the first and Danish for the rest.
I found the reason, why the first slide in the primary language was in English: The English slide-show was parented to the Danish. When the parenting was removed, the Danish show is showing correct, the English still only shows the first slide. There is only one div in the code, as opposed to the four divs in the Danish page.
I did a little test in the database. Looked up the content of the page and switched the languages in it. This gave no other result. Both languages are in the same database field and are chosen by the language tag. I can see no differences in the way they are written, so I do not think the problem lies there.
As far as I can see the divs on the English page simply are not created, but why?
At long last I found the problem. Annoying, but I forgot to publish the last three pictures in the slide.
I am sorry to have bothered you for such a trivial mistake.
It’s no problem, I’m glad to hear you solved it!
Hi I just wonna ask a question similar to this one… I’m using qtranslate to run my page in 2 languages, but my meteor slider doesnt work when I’m checking the “Hide Content which is not available for the selected language” box… I guess that meens that my slides are not multilangual… how can I resolve this problem:\ that’s too important please help!
The slideshow shortcode is part of the content, if you tell it to hide the content, it will include the slideshow in that. You either need to show the content, or make sure whatever page the slideshow is on has a translation for each language, even if that translation just contains the shortcode.
Most of the translation plugins are setup this way and it can be handy because if your slides are only on one language, you can hide them from the other languages. Or if you have slides for each language, you can use multiple slideshows to load a different slideshow for each language.
I just have the shortcode in the translated text the same place as it is in the original. Works like a dream once you have published everything. That gives me the possibility to use a translated slideshow also since the slideshow indicated in the shortcode does not need to be the same. With qtranslate the entire page is realoaded and that brings in the translated slide. (translated captions).
