qTranslate uses language tags to identify different languages. They look like this:

Code: Select all

<!--:en--><!--:-->

. Usually, when you don’t do anything fancy, qTranslate will take care of them for you. But if you want to have multilingual text in your templates or extra fields, you will need to use them.
Quicktags are a shorter form of language tags and look like this:

Code: Select all

More information on Quicktags can be found here.

Just put qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode($type) in your Templates. If you set $type = ‘image’, flags will be used, $type = ‘both’ will show flags and language, $type=’dropdown’ will generated a dropdown list instead, default is ‘text’. Example:

Code: Select all

<?php echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('both'); ?>

Yes, but unfortunately, you will have to use language tags in them.

This is a template problem. Your template is using get_option('home') to get the link for the front page, which is BAD! get_option is not supposed to be used in templates. There is a function called bloginfo for templates. Use that instead and everything will work the way it is supposed to.

There are 2 Wordpress function for displaying the time of a post. One is called

Code: Select all

the_time();

and the other one

Code: Select all

the_date();

The author of your template used the_time to display a date, which is simply wrong. Change the_time to the_date and you will get the date instead of the time.

Normally, qTranslate will download all .mo files automatically, but if you want to manually manage all .mo files, you can follow the Wordpress Guide "Installing WordPress in Your Language" to install them. I recommend not to set WP_LANG in the wp-config.php file and leave it as

Code: Select all

define ('WPLANG', '');

This will happen if your database isn't ready for multilingual content. You can install the http://g30rg3x.com/utf8-database-converter/ to fix the problem. You can find more information on http://codex.wordpress.org/Converting_D ... acter_Sets.
