xLanguage (Wordpress Plugin)
Monday, January 21st, 2008
安裝程序
This plugin is tested on v2.3 and up to v2.7.
- Download the zip file and extract into /wp-content/plugins/
- In the Admin control panel, goes to the “Plugins” page and activate the “xLanguage” plugin.
- Configure the plugin under the “Options” page.
- Start blogging with the multi-langual functionalities!
First, you have to configure which language are available to the users, and defining the properties of the language. A complex arrangement is allowed which is very useful if one of the language is “overlapped” with another.
Then, you can start blogging with the xLanguage toolbar provided which can help you to specify which paragraphs in the post belong to which language. In addition, you may want customized the name of the categories and tags to specified languages.
Also, put the xLanguage widget up so the users are allowed to switch language as needed.
When a user finally comes to your blog, the plugin will determine the most favorable language from his browser preferences. The content shown will have the correct part extracted. His choice of language will also be saved to cookie. Permalinks will also be modified to include the language information.
Notice
If you hit the following error message after installation:
can not redeclare class xLanugagePlugin on line 996 in xlanguage.php
Resetting the xLanguage configuration would help. To do that, please go to “Settings -> xLanguage -> Options” in the Admin control panel, Scroll to the very bottom and reset it.
This is a known problem but I can never reproduce this so have no idea how to fix it. Any volunteer in helping me is very welcome!

Hello Dear Sam,
Please don’t forget about me… I’m still struggling with the _ES -es thing (see comment #348 above). Is there something I can do to help solving this? I’ve seen some people having the same problem.
THANKS A MILLION!

Hi Sam,
I’ve noticed a problem after upgrading to WP 2.7 and unfortunately xLanguage 2.0.1 doesn’t solve it: on my blog front page I have links to the various language versions (<a href=”/lang/en”> et cetera) and clicking them now says 404 not found!
A workaround was to go to xLanguage’s preferences and change permalink style from prefixing to postfixing. For me it’s not really a big issue. However, due to the warning about postfixing not working with paged comments and other plugins, and because other users upgrading will likely see this I thought you would like to know..

Hi Sam,
well for example the german flag is here: http://www.yogie.de/wp-content/themes/yogie-mod/view/xlanguage/images/de.png and there is also de-active.png, en.png and en-active.png.
In my settings I use de-de and en-us as locale codes…
How should the permissions of the images look like?

Andy: sorry I (half accidentally half intentionally) changed the default template.
Please use the old template to restore the previous look and feel.
The template of the previous version could be downloaded at http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/xlanguage/tags/1.3.3/view/xlanguage
Put it (other_post_lang.php) into /wp-content/themes/_YOUR_THEME_/view/language (create the folder as needed)
Louis: Removing the /lang/ this is not possible just yet. Stay tuned.
Yogie: Please do me a flavor in checking a few things. 1. The filename is correct, “xx” is corresponding to your language code, and it is CASE Sensitive. 2. The files are uploaded with correct permission. For example, here is my files structure under /themes/.
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/en-active.png
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/en.png
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/zh-active.png
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/zh-hk.png
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/zh.png
hellosam1/view/xlanguage/images/zh-hk-active.png

Well to me simply adding the xx.png and xx-active.png files will not work
I added them into /wp-content/themes/”mytheme”/view/xlanguage/images/ and also into the plugin folder - No Success!

Hi again.
I have had a bit of time to re-read your new instructions for installation and have discovered that I had to recreate the view/images folder inside my theme. This now works to show the flags (but the flags only) whereas before it showed “[flag] Other language name” etc.
Where can I add the code so I can show the language name and the flag?
thanks,
Andy
