# qTranslate - new fork in progress
:warning: :warning: :warning: This forked version of qTranslate-X is a work in progress. We are setting up contribution guidelines and workflow for anyone who would like to contribute to this project. Please feel free to open issues, questions or comments here that pertain to the new fork, workflow and guidelines so that we can ensure a long and successful future for this plugin.
Context: This plugin appears to no longer be supported by the contributors. It is a very popular plugin for internationalization/localization and we thank the contributors for their time up to this point. This plugin is now at risk of being incompatible with WordPress and newer versions of of its dependencies. If you are any of the contributors listed below, please feel free to reach out if this is not the case!

Adds a user-friendly multilingual dynamic content management.
## Description ##
The plugin offers a way to maintain dynamic multilingual content on a WordPress site. While static localization is already excellently implemented and offered by WordPress framework through [po/mo file framework](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/how-to-internationalize-your-plugin/), it is still impossible to maintain dynamic multilingual content without an additional specialized plugin, a kind of which qTranslate-X belongs to. For example, what if you need to make title, content and excerpt of a page to be multilingual? In theory, it could be handled by po/mo files, but in an insanely inconvenient way.
To deal with dynamic content, qTranslate-X provides language switching buttons on applicable admin editing pages, which, once pressed, make all the text of multilingual fields to be filled with the language chosen. The instant language change happens locally in your browser without sending an additional request to the server, which makes it most convenient for bi-lingual or few-lingual sites, for example, owners of which perform the translation of content on their own. qTranslate-X does not provide a way to translate static strings, assuming that this part is already implemented and handled by the WordPress localization framework.
The plugin [provides a way to designate](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration/ "Integration Guide") which fields on a page or post are to be multilingual. Once a field is declared [multilingual](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/multilingual-fields/ "Concept of 'Multilingual Field'"), it will be distinguishably highlighted (in a customizable way) on admin side. Pressing one of the Language Switching Buttons (LSB) will change the value of mutlilingual fields allowing to input and edit edit different values for each language. Note, that only the fields configured to be multilingual respond to LSB, while regular fields are not affected and keep the same value for each language. At frontend, the value of active language, as defined by a page viewer, is extracted from multilingual field to be displayed within HTML context. Thus, a concept of [multilingual field](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/multilingual-fields/ "Concept of 'Multilingual Field'") is in use here, as opposite to a concept of whole separate page or separate site for each language, as it is done in a number of other multilingual content management plugins, see for example, free [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/ "Plugin 'Polylang'") or paid [WPML](https://wpml.org/ "The WordPress Multilingual Plugin"). Each plugin has its own pros and cons, please, choose carefully the one which suits your needs the best.
Plugin qTranslate-X provides a convenient way to describe which fields need to be multilingual through a JSON-encoded configuration file as described in [Integration Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration/ "Integration Guide"). It makes it easy to integrate your theme or other plugins with qTranslate-X. A JSON-encoded file, named `i18n-config.json`, such as [the one](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/blob/master/i18n-config.json "JSON-encoded configuration file of plugin qTranslate-X") used by qTranslate-X itself, may be provided by themes and plugins within their distribution. Plugin qTranslate-X picks up and load those configuration files on activation of a plugin or on the switch of a theme. Such a configuration file can potentially be employed by any other multilingual plugin. The developers are encouraged to [contact us](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/contact-us/ "Contact qTranslate Team") to discuss a common standard for the `i18n-config.json` configuration file.
The plugin does not currently offer any kind of translation services. The team has conducted an online survey to find out how people translate their content. You are welcome to [make your entry too](http://www.marius-siroen.com/qTranslate-X/TranslateServices/ "Survey for 'Translation Services'"). It appears so far, that translation service is not an immediate need. Administrators normally have their ways to translate the content, but they need a convenient way to enter translated content into an appropriate place, which this plugin is designed to help for. Translation services might still be provided in the future releases as a paid feature.
Plugin qTranslate-X makes creation of multilingual content as easy as working with a single language. Here are some features:
- One-click local switching between the languages - Changing the language as easy as switching between Visual and HTML.
- Comes with a number of languages already built-in - English, German, Simplified Chinese, for example, and many more.
- Language customizations without changing the .po/mo files - It stores all the translations in the same post fields, while shows it to user for editing one by one depending on the language to edit chosen.
- In-line syntax '`[:en]English Text[:de]Deutsch[:]`' or '`<!--:en-->English Text<!--:--><!--:de-->Deutsch<!--:-->`' for theme-custom fields gets them translated - See [FAQ](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/#CustomFields "qTranslate-X FAQ") for more information.
- Language tag encoding allows strings like this '`[:en]English Text[:]<html-language-neutral-code>[:de]Deutsch[:]<another-html-language-neutral-code>`', with language-neutral text embedded.
- Multilingual dates out of the box - translates dates and time for you.
- Theme custom fields can be configured to be translatable too.
- Choose one of a few modes to make your URLs look pretty and SEO-friendly, for example, the simple and beautiful `/en/foo/`, or nice and neat `en.yoursite.com`, or everywhere compatible `?lang=en`.
- One language for each URL - Users and SEO will thank you for not mixing multilingual content.
- qTranslate-X supports unlimited number of languages, which can be easily added/modified/deleted via a comfortable Configuration Page at Settings->Languages.
- Custom CSS for "qTranslate Language Chooser" widget configurable via its properties.
- Menu item "Language Switcher" to enable language choosing from a menu.
- To generate language-specific sitemaps for better SEO support, use [Google XML Sitemaps](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/) or 'XML Sitemaps' under [Yoast SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/). Please, [report](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/contact-us/) a successful use of other sitemap plugins.
The website [qTranslate-X explained](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/about/) provides and keeps updated a few useful listings:
- The [list of plugins, which provide integration](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integrated/ "Known integrated plugins") of qTranslate-X with other popular plugins.
- The [list of some plugins reported to be compatible](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/compatible/ "Known compatible plugins") with qTranslate-X without an additional integrating plugin.
- The [list of some plugins reported not to be currently compatible](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/incompatible/ "Known incompatible plugins") with qTranslate-X.
- The [list of Know Issues](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/known-issues/ "Known Issues").
If you encounter a conflicting plugin, please [let us know](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/contact-us/), and meanwhile try to use other plugin of similar functionality, if possible.
This plugin has started as a descendant of qTranslate, which has apparently been abandoned by the original author, [Qian Qin](http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/ "the original author of qTranslate"). At this point, qTranslate-X has many new features and hardly resembles its ancestor. Neither it is a straightforward compatible with older plugin. One will need to carefully read [Migration Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/migration/) in order to switch a site from old qTranslate to qTranslate-X.
You may still find some useful information through reading qTranslate's original documentation, which is not duplicated here in full. There are also other plugins, which offer multilingual support, but it seems that Qian Qin has a very good original back-end design, and many people have been pleasantly using his plugin ever since. It stores all translations in the same single post, which makes it easy to maintain and to use it with other plugins. However, the user interface of former qTranslate got out of sync with the recent versions of Wordpress, especially after WP went to TinyMCE 4. There has been a number of forks of qTranslate, for example, mqTranslate, qTranslate Plus and zTranslate. Most of them are now retired. They all tried to fix qTranslate's user interface preserving its original back-end, which is what this plugin does too. This plugin is a hybrid of all of them and fixes a few bugs in each of them. It also has many new features too, like theme custom translatable fields, for instance. We hope that this plugin is the most complete working version which combines the best features of the original qTranslate as well as all its forks.
We organized an impersonal entity [qTranslate Team](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team) to maintain a joint authority of all qTranslate-ish plugins. Anyone is welcome to join with a contribution. Participating plugin authors should share the support efforts for each other.
GitHub repository is available: [https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x.git](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x).

## Installation ##
**Important**: Read [migration instructions](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/migration/), if you previously used other multilingual plugin, otherwise initial installation of this plugin is no different from any other standard plugin. It may help to review [Startup Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/startup-guide/ "Startup Guide") in order to get an idea on what to expect.
**Very Important**: Whenever you update the plugin, make sure to deactivate the previous version and then activate the new one. Normal WordPress update does that, and should be sufficient, but if you overwrite plugin files manually, be sure to execute deactivation/activation cycle, otherwise you will miss the execution of activation hooks and some options may become misconfigured. For the sake of performance, plugin is not programmed to run all the necessary checks every time it is loaded, since activation hook is an expensive operation. That is why it is important to execute deactivation/activation cycle.
Otherwise the installation is similar to any other WordPress plugin:
1. Download the plugin from [WordPress](http://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/ "qTranslate-X") or take the latest development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x).
1. Use WordPress `/wp-admin/plugin-install.php` page to install a plugin or extract all the files and upload everything (keeping the directory structure) to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Deactivate plugin qTranslate, mqTranslate, qTranslate Plus, zTranslate or any other multilingual plugin, if you are running any.
1. Activate qTranslate-X through the 'Plugins' (`/wp-admin/plugins.php`) configuration page in WordPress.
1. Open Settings->Languages configuration page and add/delete/disable any languages you need.
1. Add the "qTranslate Language Chooser" widget or "Language Switcher" menu item to let your visitors switch the language.
1. For the new installers, it may be useful to read [Startup Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/startup-guide/ "Startup Guide").
1. Configure theme or other plugins custom fields to be translatable if needed (Settings -> Languages: "Integration").
1. If your theme shows [multilingual fields](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/multilingual-fields/) at front end in raw format, then read [Integration Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration/ "Integration Guide").
## Frequently Asked Questions ##
* For the new installers, it may be useful to read [Startup Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/startup-guide/ "Startup Guide").
* It is important to read [migration instructions](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/migration/ "Migration Guide"), if you previously used other multilingual plugin.
* Read [Integration Guide](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration/ "Integration Guide") when you need to make theme or other plugin custom fields to be multilingual.
A general FAQ list is available at "qTranslate-X explained" website: [https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/ "qTranslate-X FAQ"), where it is easier to maintain it in between releases.
Developers: please drop new topics here, the text will be moved to [qTranslate-X explained](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/ "qTranslate-X FAQ") at the time of the next release.
## Screenshots ##
1. Editing screen showing the Language Switching Buttons (LSB). Pressing a button does not make a call to the server, the editing happens locally in browser, until "Update" button is pressed, the same way as it is for one language. Multilingual Fields (MLF) are decorated with a color bar on the left to make it easier to distinct them. The way MLF is marked is customizable. Note, that only the fields configured to be multilingual respond to LSB, while regular fields are not affected and keep the same value for each language.

### 3.4.8 ###

* Enhancement: Handling of slugs in qTranslate-X native way, instead of semi-integrated plugin "[Qtranslate Slug](https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-slug/)" - removed later, it needs more work.
### 3.4.6.8 ###
* Imrovement: translation of taxonomies on page `/wp-admin/edit.php`.
* Fix: proper tag editing on page `post.php` [Issue #366](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/366).
### 3.4.6.7 ###
* Fix: for `/wp-login/` and `/login/`. Thanks to [extremecarver](http://qtranslate-x.com/support/index.php?action=profile;u=373).
* Fix: unexpected menu behaviour for empty menu label when option "Hide Content which is not available for the selected language" is on: [WP Topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-visible-despite-empty-label).
### 3.4.6.6 ###
* Fix: WP45, '/wp-admin/nav-menus.php': title of newly added menu item kept one language only.
* Fix: WP45, '/wp-admin/nav-menus.php': double quotation mark in menu label.
### 3.4.6.5 ###
* Improvement: Option 'Show language names in "Camel Case"' has been added on Settings/Languages page `/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=qtranslate-x#general` in order to handle absence of function `mb_convert_case`, as PHP module `mbstring` may not be installed by default: [WP Topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qtranslate_utilsphp-on-line-504).
* Enhancement: added preset for Welsh (Cymraeg, 'cy') language.
* Fix: regular expression to detect `lang=xx` in line `preg_match('/(^|&|&|&|\?)lang=([a-z]{2})/i',$url_info['query'],$match)` of file `qtranslate_core.php`: [Issue #288](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/288).
* Fix: smooth run of wp-cron.php from command line: [WP Topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/messy-wp-cronphp-command-line-output).
* Fix: consistency of option "Hide Content ..." to show single post without 404 error, like it is with single page: [Issue #297](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/297).
* Fix: Predefined locales are changed to match [WordPress locales](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/):<br>
Estonian (Eesti) 'et_EE' renamed to 'et',<br>
Basque (Euskera, in native alphabet, Euskara, in WordPress, both correct) eu_ES renamed to 'eu',<br>
Greek (Ελληνικά) 'el_GR' renamed to 'el',<br>
Finnish (Suomi) 'fi_FI' renamed to 'fi',<br>
Croatian (Hrvatski) 'hr_HR' renamed to 'hr'.<br>
Old *.mo files are kept in order not to break the sites that may be currently using them, but they should now switch the locale appropriately. The following `/lang/qtranslate-*` files have been renamed to match changes in locale:<br>
qtranslate-el_GR.* renamed to qtranslate-el.*<br>
qtranslate-es_CA.* renamed to qtranslate-ca.*<br>
qtranslate-hr_HR.* renamed to qtranslate-hr.*<br>
This emerged from [Topic #27](http://qtranslate-x.com/support/index.php?topic=27).
* Languages: Slovak (sk_SK) language preset has been added. Thanks to Andrej Leitner.
* Fix: WP45, LSB on term adit page '/wp-admin/term.php': [Issue #342](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/342)
* Fix: WP45, menu update problem '/wp-admin/nav-menus.php': [Issue #347](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/374).
* Fix: PHP7, Warning 'Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP': [Issue #](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/359).
### 3.4.6.4 release ###
* Enhancement: The list of avalable languages in "Not Available Message" and alternative language shown now follow the order of languges defined on configuration page, ignoring the default language. For example, if the first language in the order is English, the second is your native and the default, then English translation will be preferably shown as alternative language. Most sites are expected to be unaffected, since the first language in the order is normally the default langauge. However, it may make sense to first try to show most common language (like English in this example), instead of the default language. Now this is possible with putting the most common language to be the first in the order of languages. The order affects language menu, widget and language shown when translation is not available, as well as any other place where languages need to be listed in an order.
* Fix: `home_url()` on admin side is now only filtered on `/wp-admin/customize.php` page, otherwise it created a few problems, for example, wrong overwriting of `.htaccess` file in some cases, causing Internal Server Error 500 with infinite redirection loop: [WP Topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-500-after-346-update).
* Fix: consistency and caching of meta data translations. Known affected theme: [Sahifa](http://themeforest.net/item/sahifa-responsive-wordpress-news-magazine-blog-theme/2819356). [WP Issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qtranslate-x-not-working-with-sahifa-custom-sliders).
### 3.4.6.2 release ###
* Fix: recovered translation of parent of a category on category edit page.
### 3.4.6.1 release ###
* Fix: Call of `qtranxf_get_admin_page_config` is moved after all integrating plugins loaded their `*-admin.php`, otherwise i18n configuration is loaded only partially, which broke "Woocommerce & qTranslate-X". [Issue #277](https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/277).
### 3.4.6 release ###
* All issues after version 3.4.4
### 3.4.5.4 ###
* Feature: Type 'custom' with arbitrary format of items for widget "qTranslate Language Chooser".

Compatibility with old arguments is preserved.

### 3.4.5.2 ###
* Improvement: admin configuration loading is moved to filter 'plugins_loaded', search for function `qtranxf_admin_load` to see the change.
