Title: zTranslate? Why? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # zTranslate? Why? * Resolved [almarma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almarma/) * (@almarma) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/) * I just discovered with a big surprise that, the creator or QTranslate has forked himself with zTranslate!! And this one supports the lastest WP??? Not qTranslate? Why? I don’t understand it. I’m desperate waiting for the qTranslation update to WP 3.9.x 🙁 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ztranslate/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ztranslate/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/page/2/?output_format=md) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4984882) * Sometimes, you just have to start again and build afresh when developing plugins. I assume that this is what has happened in this case. I also noticed that this new plugin is a collaboration whilst qtranslate has only a single developer. * Thread Starter [almarma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almarma/) * (@almarma) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4984891) * Yes, I suppose that, and I also noticed a second developer. That’s good because maybe they can help each other or develop it faster, but what should we do know? How is the migration process? Is this stable? I’ll wait a bit more, but I hope they provide some more information about it 😉 * Plugin Author [Vavooon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vavooon/) * (@vavooon) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4984957) * Hi. I forked it by myself. Author didn’t accepted my fixes for a long time so I decided to do this. This fork is fully compatible with original plugin but contains such fixes, improvements and rewritten JS code which works better. * [simony138](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simony138/) * (@simony138) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985039) * Hi Vavoon, I installed and active zTranslate with WordPress ver.3.9.3 But I did not see any language icon on any pages including new page. Please advise how to use your plugin. * Plugin Author [Vavooon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vavooon/) * (@vavooon) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985047) * Did you install qTranslate before? Do you see language selector at top right corner (in admin panel)? * [simony138](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simony138/) * (@simony138) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985048) * Yes I had qTranslate before, that the language tabs were there, that I can choose to put in the content for each language I chose. But after I installed and actived zTranslate, when I open a post or page,I do not see any language tab. Do you mean I have to install qTranlate to work with this plugin together? * Plugin Author [Vavooon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vavooon/) * (@vavooon) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985052) * Maybe you need to add zTranslate widget first. You also need to change **Flag Image Path** to **plugins/ztranslate/flags/** in preferences. * [Lidia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lydiamunoz/) * (@lydiamunoz) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985053) * Hello! * I installed it, but i can’t activate it… Error fatal. * Plugin Author [Vavooon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vavooon/) * (@vavooon) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985054) * lydiamunoz, You need to deactivate qTranslate first. * [Lidia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lydiamunoz/) * (@lydiamunoz) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ztranslate-why/#post-4985055) * Ah! ok!
