Hi,

I use qTranslate for my bilingual website. All translations work fine.

There is just one problem with the "home" link of the "main" menu, created by the menu manager of WP 3.1:

For "home" I have created a link to "http://mysite.de". It works, if I now click at the English flag - the site is English = okay.

But if I click at another English page and click back to "home" - this "home" link switches back to the default (= German) language.

In the qTranslate forum I found, that this is a problem of themes:

Clicking on the Title/Home-Link resets selected language:
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.

So what can I do, so that the "home" link does not resets the language?

Thanks.

Hey,
open up lots_of_small_helpers.php (avisio\framework\helper_functions) and search for following code:
```
echo "<li $current><a href='".get_settings('home')."'>Home</a></li>";
```
Replace it with:
```
echo "<li $current><a href='".bloginfo('url')."'>Home</a></li>";
```

I just saw, that the menu, made with the menu manager ("main") of WP 3.1 cannot be translated by qTranslate.

I have no idea, how to get a translation within the menu manager fields.

Has anybody an idea?
Thanks.

ok, just found it out:

Put in your menu manager this code for switching between German and English:

[:de]German menu title[:en]English menu title

This works in the menu title and in the description :-)

Just a last question (I hope):

in which template file can I found the code for the "additional page options" -> "additional headline", because qTranslate cannot translate them, too.

If I add the required code

[:de]german additional headline[:en]English additional headline

in the field for the additional headline of a page, the additional headline of a page don't "interpretes" this code, but shows it as real text [:de]german text[:en]English text

Hi,
I have the same problem mentioned above, I am under the theme "Abondunce" but I can not find the file lots_of_small_helpers.php (Abundance \ Framework \ helper_functions).
For many hours I'm looking for but I find nothing.

Thank you for you help

I replace the code, but it's still not working.
When I want to return to the home page I click on the logo and I return to the default language.

The logo code can be found in abundance\framework\php\function-set-avia-frontend.php:

function avia_logo()
	{
		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo'><a href='".home_url('/')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".home_url('/')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}

I believe you need to do the same as in Dude's first post.
Replace
<a href='".home_url('/')."'>
with
<a href='".bloginfo('url')."'>
at all occurrences.
I'm not certain if this'll do, but it should work the same way.

Cheers,
Chris

thank you Chris

But I have many problems, I replaced. Home_url ('/'). "'> with .bloginfo (' url ').'"> But it does not work. When I click on the logo I do not go back on the home page.
Can send you more precision.
Really thank you for your help

Hey,

Replace the code Dude pasted by

function avia_logo()
	{
		$lang = isset($_GET['lang']) ? '?lang='.esc_attr($_GET['lang']) : '';

		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".home_url($lang)."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".home_url($lang)."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}
}

Cheers,
Chris

I did a lot of tests I change the permalinks now it works but the problem is that when I click "ESHOP" I do not keep the language selected.
I've put a link to that can understand the problem.
I have half the languages in the lower left in the footer.

Hi!

Please contact the WooCommerce devs if they plan to support qtranslate. As far as I know WooCommerce does not support it and it's not possible to translate the shop page with qtranslate.

Best regards,
Peter
