Hi Raúl. No there is no way to remove /lang/ yet, but this is surely one of the most popular requests and I am listening.
Category and tag: use the single line mode, like how you write post title. that is, separated by |. Use single line mode on the “Name”, while keeping using simple english for the “Slug”. For posting under new tag, please tag your post with a correct slug first then go back to the management interface to modify the name into multilanguages.
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.
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..
Ooops, writing my mail and seeing your mail again I figured out that I have to rename my files to de-de.png, de-de-active.png sorry etc. now it works thanks!
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
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?

Hi Sam!
First off all, regards for the plugin.
I’m trying to get rid easily from that ugly “/lang/” in the permalinks. Can you help?
Also I’ve found nothing in the usage guide refering to categories or tags. How can i define the language for those?
Many thanks in advance and best regards.
PS.: Don’t you have a forum or something where to support?

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,
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?

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!
