Hi Chouby,
I’ve almost got it. Now I understand what’s happening.
In class-wp.php I have this function

function main($query_args = ”) {
$this->init();
$this->parse_request($query_args);
$this->send_headers();
$this->query_posts();
$this->handle_404();
$this->register_globals();
do_action_ref_array(‘wp’, array(&$this));
}

What happens is that the other plugin is called within “parse_request” (dont ask me why, probably some pages may receive query string params), while polylang is executed within “do_action_ref_array”.
I found that if I add to the Polylang_Core constructor this line

add_action( ‘parse_request’, array( &$this, ‘load_textdomains’ ), 1 );

the plugin translation works. On the other hand this breaks the login logic (login page is blank) and when the user is not authenticated the language is stuck to the one set in the cookie.
It seems that this line breaks the user authentication model…

Do you have an idea on how force polylang to be executed during parse_request cleanly?
thanks!

The plugin is Groupbuyingsite. it is a premium plugin
http://groupbuyingsite.com/

it is supposed to be internationalized. All strings are translated using calls to __(). I have both .po and .mo files, but I have the feeling that the locale does not switch from EN to FR.
load_plugin_textdomain is called but I don’t understand why it might not switch locale.
Where should I look to understand what’s actually preventing the plugin from switching locale?
thanks!

OK I see what you mean, I try to better explain what I’m trying to achieve.
I have a post that is automatically created by a plugin. For simplicity let’s say it’s a product of an e-commerce site.
Now I want to embed the product description into a page where the theme elements are in another language. The plugin+theme do not work well with most ML plugins. I found one which works OK but needs to associate the translated post to the original one. I.e. I have to provide the post ID of the english version when I create the french version.
If I create 2 independent posts these will be 2 separate products for the e-commerce plugin, while I need to have a single product with 2 translations.
Now, I have 1 post which is the english version of the product; then I have a page (or post) where I’m trying to copy the entire english version of the product without creating a new product with the e-commerce plugin. In this way I will still show the english description of the product but within a french theme.
I understand it may look complicated, I’ll try anyway your suggestion.
thanks!
