I’m trying to translate the text in the slider in the Leverage theme at http://modernlanguages.com . I think I’m on the right track using your suggestion but it just isn’t working. I’m not a php guy (a hack at best) so it is probably a syntax error. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? This has been a six day Odyssey. Please help!

In my slider.php file:

<div id="slideshow">
	<div id="slides">	

		<?php query_posts('post_type=any&meta_key=_ttrust_in_slideshow_value&meta_value=true&posts_per_page=10'); ?>
		<?php $i = 0; ?>
		<?php if(have_posts()) :?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>			

		<div id="slide<?php echo $i; ?>" class="clearfix slide" <?php if($i > 0) echo('style="display: none;"'); ?> >

			<?php $slideLink = get_permalink(); ?>				

				<?php $slideshow_alt_img = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_ttrust_alt_image_value", true);  ?>
				<?php $slideshow_video = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_ttrust_slideshow_video_value", true);  ?>				

				<?php if($slideshow_video) : ?>
					<div class="slideVideo">
		    			<?php echo $slideshow_video; ?>
					</div>
				<?php elseif($slideshow_alt_img) : ?>
					<div class="slideImage">
		    			<img src="<?php echo $slideshow_alt_img; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
					</div>
				<?php else : ?>
					<div class="slideImage thumbnail">
						<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
		    				<?php the_post_thumbnail('ttrust_slideshow', array('alt' => ''.get_the_title().'', 'title' => ''.get_the_title().'')); ?>
						<?php endif; ?>
					</div>
				<?php endif; ?>	

				<div class="slideText">
					<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
					<?php $preview_text = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_ttrust_preview_text_value", true); ?>
					<?php $myFilteredText = __($preview_text); ?>
					<?php if(!$myFilteredText) : ?>
						<?php $slideshow_text = $post->post_content; echo wpautop(substr($slideshow_text, 0, strpos($slideshow_text, "<!--more-->"))); ?>
						<?php more_link(); ?>
					<?php else :
						echo(wpautop(do_shortcode($myFilteredText)));
					endif; ?>
				</div>
		</div>
		<?php $i++; endwhile; ?>
		<?php wp_reset_query();?>

		<?php else: ?>
			<div class="slide">
			<div class="slideImage">
    			<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/welcome.png" width="485" height="352" alt="welcome" />
			</div>
			<div class="slideText">

		<?php endif; ?>
