qtranslate conditional tags

[maxk]

Would like to check for the language through the widget logic plugin.
Something like is_language(en). what's the conditional tag to use there? in gengo it was is_language what is it in qtranslate?

You can use get_bloginfo('language')=='xy-XY' where xy-XY is the language code

For example, get_bloginfo('language')=='pl-PL' will return TRUE for pages in Polish

Note: get_bloginfo() is a function in the WordPress core. It is not part of either qTranslate or Widget Logic

Say you were doing a website in German, English and French, and your default language was set to German, you could use this kind of if statement.

<?php if (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'en') {echo 'en';}elseif (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'fr') {echo 'fr';}else {echo 'de';} ?>

Is there a way to echo urls to the opposite language for a 2 language setup?

i.e

Code: Select all

<?php if (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'en') {echo 'current page?lang=cy';}elseif (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'cy') {echo 'current_page?lang=en';} ?>

So that I get a link to switch rather than just text?

Or even this maybe :

Code: Select all

<?php if (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'en') {echo '<a href="' . '<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>' . '/?lang=cy" title="Cymraeg">Cymraeg</a>';}elseif (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'cy') {echo '<a href="' . ' <?php bloginfo('url'); ?>' . '/?lang=en" title="English">English</a>';} ?>

Hopefully someone can help me along the same lines as this thread...

I have a two language site - en and fr - and need to hardcode some links into the template we are using.

Site is at www.clubexcellence.ocm

The current code looks like this:

<h2 class="feat-title"><?php echo stripslashes($wp_launch_cat_box_1_title); ?> <span class="moreposts">(<a href="http://www.clubexcellence.com/<?php if ( get_option('category_base') ) { ?><?php echo get_option('category_base'); ?><?php } else { ?>category<?php } ?>/<?php echo $wp_launch_cat_box_1; ?>/"><?php _e("more"); ?></a>)</span></h2>

I need to code that looks at the chosen language and then shows the correct link (en="more" fr="plus") AND directs the link to the appropriate URL - ie. if language is en then link goes to www.clubexcellence.com/category/blog/?lang=en and if the language is french then the link goes to www.clubexcellence.com/category/blog/?lang=fr

Help would be most appreciated!

Hi Andrew,

I am setting up an English/French site too. I see you have your site working as per your request. How did you get correct urls depending on language of page?

Thank you.

If you're hardcoding the link in the template, you can add something along these lines (note: this method is better for external links):

Code: Select all

<?php
   if(qtrans_getLanguage() == "en")
      echo ('<a href="http://www.englishwebsite.com">TITLE</a>');
   else if(qtrans_getLanguage() == "fr")
      echo ('<a href="http://www.sitewebfrancais.com">TITRE</a>');
?>

An alternative way is to take the tag approach:

Code: Select all

<?php
   _e('<!--:en--><a href="http://www.englishwebsite.com">TITLE</a><!--:--><!--:fr--><a href="http://www.sitewebfrancais.com">TITRE</a><!--:-->');
?>

If you're trying to link to a specific page in your own website, you can use qTranslate's convert url function:

Code: Select all

<?php echo '<a href="' . qtrans_convertURL('http://mywebsite.com/post') . '">TITLE</a>'; ?>

If you just want to link your home page, you could do this:

Code: Select all

<?php echo '<a href="' . qtrans_convertURL(get_option('home')) . '">' . __('Home') . '</a>'; ?>

If you're trying to get the links to the other languages of the current page, I strongly recommend that you use the qTranslate widget, and customize it using the appropriate css. Or by using the select code function and customize it using css.

Code: Select all

<?php qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('dropdown'); ?>

Note: you can replace 'dropdown' with 'image', 'text', or 'both'

Which of the above solutions would work in this scenario then?

Code: Select all

<?php

// lot of code before hand

if(!empty($row["link"])) {
            $linkP = '
               <div class="discogPanel">
                  <h3><a href="'.$row["link"].'" target="_blank">Website</a></h3>
               </div>
            ';
         }
// Quite a bit of code after this text



I wan to make the word Website Bi-lingual..

Code: Select all

               <div class="discogPanel">
                  <h3><a href="'.$row["link"].'" target="_blank">'.$linkP.'</a></h3>
