slug translation implemented, needs review

[zapo]

Hi, first thanks all for qtranslate and qtranslate-slug, works great !

I am currently using both of them for a website I am working on, and, being new to wordpress I have to say that it feels great to see that such plugins are around.
The only missing feature for me was to be able to have url like http://website.tld (with "tld" changing according the current language, sort of a multidomain feature) instead of http://lang.website.tld.

I've produced two patches, one to apply against qtranslate-2.5.18 which gives :

- a new field in the backend to associate a tld to a language (language edition form) - if empty will use the iso 2 char code of the language
- an option in the advanced configuration to enable the "tld mode"

and the other one has to be applied to qtranslate-slug-0.6 if you want the tld mode with qtranslate-slug

I have juste tested it locally with pages and it seems to work well.

Hi there
First of all thanks for the nice plugin, qtranslate is really amazing and can't be compared with other plugin of this kind.
Second I read all the forum and the development of slug translation issue... indeed a must have option...

I suggest to the creator of qtranslate to release a sort of ''pro version'' of the plugin filled with all options and get some cash for it

Anyway... going to my problem.... I would like to create a fully translated version of my blog artphotoasia.net and I'm already working on it.
All is working perfectly but of course not the url slug.

I can confirm that the slug implementation works ONLY if permalink structure is
%post_id%/%postname%

Example It will not work
/%postname%/%post_id%

I just did some quick test and decided to not modify my permalink structure. For SEO reason I use only %postname%/ and do not want change.

I will have the blog in English as main language and in Italian and I think is better probably to have a url in English also for the Italian version instead of modify the permalink structure.
What do you think? Less SEO evil?

Slug implementation is very good, but exist a method for remove %post_id% from post url???

I'm a web developer and I try and try, but I was not able to solve this problem.
URL with a number in half isn't nice to see...

Has anyone been able to solve it?

Regards.
Davide.

Hi Davide, another italian here then, I'm from Turin, the permalink structure must be that one to be able to use the slug.

I really love this plugin and soon I'm going to make a small donation to help and motivate.
I hope the developer will solve soon the slug issue.

Beside the visual effect not nice; a number inside the url will change all the existing url indexed and I feel that Google will manage that but will not like that.
Better an English url that a number in the url or something worst.

Also when I gave a try to the slug patch I noted some strange behavior of url as I use SEO platinum of WP

For every other page without slug translation, qTranslate default URL modification works as expected.
Any suggestion is welcome!!

I would like to renew the question that was already asked:

did anyone find the solution to make slug translation work with /%category%/%postname%/ permalinks structure?

This would be very relevant for me too. Without translated slugs, I will not be able to use this plugin, which is awesome in every other aspect.

currently I have

www.website.com/kunden <- german
www.website.com/en/kunden <- english url with german slug. This sucks! A fix would be most appreciated, I would gladly donate 100$ for that feature!

Can someone help me?

I'm currently working on a website for a company.
I configured Wordpress so that pages are products and articles are recipes. I made a page named "recipes" that's based on the archive-template which gives me a list of all articles.
The problem now is that when I'm on "recipes" and click on a category, it works but when I'm in the category and trying to click on another language it gives me a 404.

When I click on the language again it works. It just doesn't add the language slug on the first try.

How do I solve this?

Nice thread all. I was hoping to get more information on the SEO tools which can help me to get reviews on my blogs. I have tried some wordpress company for this and that was good. We'll try to throw this a reference on our wordpress company blog. Ta

I dont really understand how to install it, so with this we can configure 2 urls to the article?

Some EN/contact-us

And /contacto for example?
