I’ve come up with a workaround for the problem.

I renamed each album using qTranslate shortcodes of the form:
`[:en]English Title[:nl]Dutch Title[:de]German Title[:fr]French Title’ in the album title input box.

Then I changed the way I loaded the slideshow by using WPPA+ scripts instead of shortcodes, and referring to the album by the localised name instead of by number:
English page: %%wppa%% %%slide=”$English Title”%%
Dutch page: %%wppa%% %%slide=”$Dutch Title”%%
German page: %%wppa%% %%slide=”$German Title”%%
French page: %%wppa%% %%slide=”$French Title”%%

I also had to disable the WPPA+ link from the album cover photo I’m using, and manually create links to each slideshow page to make sure it went to the page with the correct locale.

It’s a workaround rather than a solution, but it gets the job done 🙂

Thanks again for this wonderful plugin.

No this is not academic, it is relevant to the site I’m developing.

The user is free to change the language at any time using the qTranslate dropdown control. That causes a different version of the page to be loaded, one with a different language and a different url. The same WP Photo Album Plus shortcode is in each version of the page.

I thought that when I changed the language while a slide show was running that the slideshow would stop (because I’m opening a different page) and the shortcode in the new page would cause a new slideshow to start, taking the locale of the new page. It seems that either the original slideshow keeps running or, if a new slideshow is started by the new page, it uses the locale set by the first page.
