Support » Plugin: qTranslate X » Shared pages at "root" level

  • Great plugin – thanks for your work on it!

    I’m looking to use this plugin to show 3 different versions of English pages for our AU, US, CA audience. So while our product pages are different, we have “common” pages – pages that are in English and the same across all countries, such as website.com/about and website.com/contact.

    Once visitors are in, say, website.com/au/products, I want all references to our “about us “page in the menus and whatnot to point to website.com/about, not website.com/au/about.

    So I guess what I’m asking is: is there a way of “flagging” a page as a “shared” page?

    Thanks in advance for your time,

    @angela_t,

    that is not a standard feature.

    Someone chooses a particular language, for example AU.

    When he visit later the About page, then the language is put back from website.com/au/some_specific_page to website.com/about.

    If he visits after that another, specific language, page he must change language again.

    Read also this article, then it is perhaps clear.

    Hi,

    Can you confirm that every post/page needs to contain content for every enabled language, otherwise the user will see the language unavailable message?

    In other words, there is no way to display the default language if the language is not available?

    @ sryburn,

    Download the latest Beta version of qTranslate-x Download it here

    Do not use install via WordPress admin!
    First unzip the new file.
    Deactivate the existing version of qTranslate in WordPress admin.
    Then with FTP delete all files in the existing qtranslate-x folder and after that copy all new files in it.
    Activate qTranslate-x again via WordPress admin.

    There is a new function:
    Show content in an alternative language when translation is not available for the selected language.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I followed the above steps and the “show content in an alternative language…” option appears to be working well, however the non-translated pages have the following message appearing at the top. Is there a way to remove this? I’ve checked, but don’t see anything in the settings:


    For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in this site default language. You may click one of the links to switch the site language to another available language.

    @angela_t,

    For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in this site default language. You may click one of the links to switch the site language to another available language.

    This text is meant to make visitors clear that there is no translation of that page.
    This is not to turn off with a setting.
    If only the content would be displayed, it could be confusing.

    A workaround to reach this anyway, is to copy the deafault content in the other language page.

    @gunu,

    Makes sense, however we’re using this plugin for all-English pages but in different locales (AU/US/CA, etc). I know it’s not what the plugin is meant for, but it’s the best solution we’ve found. I’ll copy the content for now. Thank you.
