[qT2] Widget title translation bug

[lorenzodetomasi]

I have installed qT2 (great plugin! , everything is ok, except widget titles, that are not translated. I have used

Code: Select all

<!--:en-->english title<!--:--><!--:it-->Italian title<!--:-->

Look at http://isotype.org/it/
Has someone else the same problem?
Thanks

Indeed, I'm seeing the same error on my site. The interim solution was to enter the widget titles bilingually with a slash between the words, but I'd love to see this fixed.
EDIT: It wouldn't hurt if widget editor would respect qTranslate tags. When I add a widget text-box, I enter the text in both languages with tags. Next time I use the editor, it just loads the default language boxes and removes the second language, so each time I use the widget editor, I have to copy-paste all bilingual boxes over and over again.

Same here... unable to translate widget titles using language tags... also, the same error when using language tags in the blog description (slogan)...

Maybe this patch can help you : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=333#p1534
it addresses the issue on the bloginfo. Similar to your bug.

no, it does not help. I have the same problem with widget title.

translation of widget title is currently not really possible (i am working on an easy way to fix this). but there is a (complicated) walkaround:
1. disbale auto-update of .mo files
2. add translations to .mo files manually

Open the widget file --> Find:

"echo $before_widget.$before_title.$title.$after_title;"

Replace it to:

"echo $before_widget.$before_title;
_e("<!--:el-->greek text<!--:--><!--:en-->english text<!--:-->");
echo $after_title;"

Qian, what is the problem with filters for translation using language tags (<!--:en-->English title<!--:--><!--:it-->Italian title<!--:-->) in widget titles? I don't understand why, if it works with post titles, it doesn't it work with blog titles? I'm not talking about .po/.mo translations, but about custom widget titles in widget options…
Thanks

wordpress uses striptags to get rid of any HTML/XML from titles before it calls the filter. So qTranslate doesn't get the correct information with the language tags (which are XML comments).
