vB Global Translator - Multiply your indexed pages & put search traffic on autopilot

[Dave Hybrid]

Any idea how long this will take ? Threads: 35,170 | Posts: 632,397

Depends on your server, google and 100 other things, probably months, just like any normal pages would take to index.

I really need this hack :(
But it didn't work with me !

What will happened if your forum it is, lets say, in italian and people starts to write in russian or arabian?.

The Spanish translation is funny though.

They cant, this is a translator that allows the site to be read and indexed in other languages not a plugin that allows users to post in other languages.

[persianpros]

please add persian language

Hi I Installed this and the Flags Look good but If I choose any other language other than English I get the following error:
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Can you help me resolve this? I do not mind PM'ing you the required access. I am using ZointsSEO , since VBSEO will not accept my site. HTTP://FreeOnlineMoviesForum.com

[Dave Hybrid]

It is ONLY working with normal vb or vbseo. That's IT.

[kalisekj]

Hey Dave Can I turn Zoints Tag off and have it work? Not Exactly sure how the SEO would interfere with translating pages.

Hey Dave Can I turn Zoints Tag off and have it work? Not Exactly sure how the SEO would interfere with translating pages.

Its to do with how the rewritten seo'd urls are processed. So you'd have to drop zoints urls in favour of vbseo or vanila vb. That wouldn't be advisable as you'd lose you current search traffic for your index pages.

[kalisekj]

I appreciate your feedback on this Dave you are truly a great asset. I do have a question though, I believe zoints tag is rewritting the urls in much the same way that VBSEO is, wouldn't it just be a matter of showing how the URL's are being rewritten, or have your addon ignore it and just create it's own url's as it is gonna do anyways? That is what your add on is doing right, creating a new page in the new language and storing that in the DB?

Interesting thing though I see the translator worked on my downloads.php page. So Maybe it is working just will take time to do my main page? Is there a way I can chk in the DB to see if its truly working?

Hi,
i just installed this on my Forum.
I have two suggestions for an upcoming Version.
1.If possible ad a Pull down Menu were the user ca set the Source Language.
So my Forum is in German but sometimes the Users also write in Portuguese or in English.
2.If possible add the Meta Tag for the Language in the translated page:
<meta name="language" content="xx">

Greetings Christian

Noted, the meta tag in particular. Not that i have noticed any issues with it being left at default.

Seems to be working well on your forum. Congrats.

It doesnt work like that, it's in how the urls are called so that the flags know what page to send to the translator.

For example behind the scenes when you click the arabic flag on a vbseo site the url is called using this command.

<a rel="novbseo"href="<?php echo (strstr($_SERVER["VBSEO_URI"],'?hl='.@$_GET['hl'])) ? str_replace('?hl='.@$_GET['hl'], '', $_SERVER["VBSEO_URI"]) . '?hl=ar' : str_replace('?hl='.@$_GET['hl'], '', $_SERVER["VBSEO_URI"]) . "?hl=ar"; ?>"><img src="/flags/Saudi Arabia.gif" alt="Arabic" border="0" /></a>

I have no idea how zoints calls re-written urls from the server, have a play, you might be able to something to work.

[Dave Hybrid]

FYI I'm working on a new version, it gets rid of MySQL altogether (it just cannot cope with very large sites) and speed is even better. Will keep you updated.

I don't really have the time to read 19 pages so I want to ask a question it may has been addressed before, can Google considers this as a duplicated content?, meaning bad for the Adsense?.

No, translations are treated as original content. Because they are original.

[NLP-er]

Installed :)

But have a problem - with special letters. In Polish we have ąęśćł?żź an words with those are not translated, just appears without this letters.

So "Społeczność" is shown as "Spoeczno" instead of beeing translated to "Society" or "Community".

I'm pretty sure that google should translate it, and I think that this is some encoding issue. Any solution?

[NLP-er]

And next thing - when we solve this how to flush all the cache, so it will be translated again but correctly??

[NLP-er]

And another problem - my site is in polish, I set $fl = 'pl'; but when hitting polish flag instead going to same page it translates it :eek: From polish to polish - it looks awful and also polish special letters disappears (i see rectangles instead).

[NLP-er]

Sorry for spamming - I have 1st at night right now and it's hard to think ;)

But it's best time to do things like installing your mod ;)

So next thing - is it possible to also translate vbSEO links?
Why after translation main page all links goes to normal languege? Can you make those going to actual language?

So your base language is Polish and when transalting to all other languages some polish words are skipped, correct.

What about on my test site going from english to polish, are the words correct?

No, and there is no need, this has been discussed before.

If the script did that it would translate your registration, login everything and that would cause problems.

This translates pages for bots and traffic, not users.

[Dave Hybrid]

The script does this automatically.

I have noted all your other issues and agree, they will be fixed in next update, after we finish improving the database speed for large sites.

Not some words ony those which have special letters like ąęśćł?żź. Many languages has such.

I also sow in code that actual language is skipped during translation, but still something goes wrong - special letters disappears and result is like in wrong encoding, so I think that even skipped encoding is changes - maybe in headers. It should be just same link under flag without hl parameter and then we will have no problem with that. But still with translation of words with special letters.

Speed is really awful, but I still think that its good idea - after cache it will give better places in google (i think so:)) and maybe better clicks in advertisements, because I will not have to cut off links about same theme - in other countries it's not my competition :P So there will be more good advertise in adSense.

Great job and waiting for fast bug correction :up:

[NLP-er]

It's correct.

As I wrote I think there is encoding problem. You have everything in UTF8 so it is ok to show any language. But when someone starts i.e. from ISO-8859-2 and You send it to Google telling that it's in utf8 then its gibberish for google and such strange thing happens... It should recognize correctly start encoding.

Also this is probablu cuse of strange behaviour with translation fomr polih to polish - translation is skilled, byt encoding written as utf8 even if it was not parsed to utf8, but stayed in ISO-8859-2...

Correction in meta is still charset=ISO-8859-2, so I suppose that not everything is skipped during translation... I will look in code, but suppose that it translates to utf8, but in meta stays charset=ISO-8859-2 and thats the problem...

[NLP-er]

I solved my problem with translation from polish to polish - simply edited translateflags.php and removed all " . '?hl=pl'".

If you make $fl global and import translate.php to translateflags.php you could check and don't add param hl for default language - this solves the problem in generic way.

After all I just removed whole polish flag - all links are pushing back to polish so what for?...

[NLP-er]

And that's why we have problem with translation from polish to polish - even if it's skipped:


// Enable UTF-8 characters
if(isset($_GET['hl']))
{
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
}


From vB Global Translator - you hange encoding, and then skip translation in callback() - you can also here check does hl != fl (assuming that fl will be global) and only then do your things. Now even when translation is skipped some other things happens - reminders for style and script...

[NLP-er]

Hie hie - I solved problem for you - where is avard :D

To solve problem with translate words with national signs like ąęśćł... you have to reencode it first to utf8 before send to google. So it is enough to set global variable i.e. $defEncoding and then change in translate.php this line:


@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&langpair=".urlencode($fl.'|'.$tl)."&q=".urlencode($text));


To this one:

@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&langpair=".urlencode($fl.'|'.$tl)."&q=".urlencode(iconv($defEncoding, 'utf-8', $text)));


iconv($defEncoding, 'utf-8', $text) instead of $text

Of course this works assuming that all pages have same encoding - if not it must be parsed from meta.

Now - sleep it's 3:27 at night in my place :eek:

[NLP-er]

One more thing - are you good enough or is it possible to include new translated links into sitemap generated by vbSEO sitemap generator?

Those getting blank page, this may help you.
I couldn't find an answer and started to check the programming when I've realized this script is using CURL, which I haven't enabled in php.ini.
I've added this into my php.ini:

[PHP_CURL]
extension=php_curl.dll

/of course this requires php_curl.dll to be available in your php ext directory/

And it all started to work.

Anyways, I had a question.
I have a forum with close to 1 million posts, so I expect translating to take a lot of time, but after a quite a long time loading the page, I get this message when I try to translate the page to let say German:
Sorry, Sie müssen Javascript aktivieren, damit diese Website.
which basically means:
Sorry, you must have javascript enabled to view this site.

What do I do? I don't think my javascript is disabled.

Yup, seems to be working nicely.

I hope additional 22 million posts in different languages won't get my site banned in Google for sudden influx of pages..

I've wanted to ask how does this script translates pages. Does it work constantly on all pages (1 post to last) or it only works when someone clicks the translation flag?

BTW. I took off your link from the top menu, it was confusing to see one of the translation flags to point to another site. I am willing to send a small donation as a gesture of appreciation.

I'm going to discontinue this product soon because of people like YOU!

[Dave Hybrid]

Small update:

Replace your plugin code with this, fixes the lang="country" meta tag issue and a few issues with special characters.

REMOVED

[jarosciak]

Dave, I don't mind linking to you. Don't take me wrong. I in-fact would see no problem pointing a link to you, even that other developers with much more complex scripts than yours do not require anything similar. Your script is a nice idea, but still it's fairly simple programming even for an average programmer.

So again. I am more than willing to send you a small donation and I am not alone among those who liked your script. All I want is to get rid of your annoying implementation of a completely misleading and badly positioned translation flag (in the middle of all language flags), which does not translate anything, but rather links to your side. It feels like a scam and it's not professional, so don't be upset.

So, I took it out and I've followed a very simple logic. On the forum where I have implemented this, I have hundreds of thousands of pages and close to a million page views a month, and it would simply be too generous to link to your site from all the pages. And even if I wanted to, I would do it, because your implementation of linking feels more like spam than a promotion. So why would I do so? For a simple script you wrote? You have to realize, that people pay hundreds of dollars a year for linking from sites with lot of traffic.
And I am not talking about my other forum, where I have over 20 million posts and where a month of linking to someone's site cost over $1000/month. Is your script worth that? Simple answer: NO.

So same as others, who offered you a same deal, I gave you an option of donation, or changing the script. So, please don't be greedy and rather recognize the needs of your fans and people who actually want to support you. If you think it's worth, you could even be selling this script, why not? I'd buy it, with an option to get rid of the link of course.

Regarding you saying how much you have supported me. Don't be ridiculous. I've asked two questions and you didn't give me any support, both issues I had I figured out myself and even posted on your script's page the solution to help other members, who had the same problem and didn't get any answer. Even you recognized my tip by saying thanks.

So again, accept donations, sell the script or change the way you link to your pages so it's not misleading to our members, or come up with some other solution to this obvious clash of opinions, because as you can see, I am not alone complaining.

This is free sharing of mods and most developers of vbulletin mods are famous not by insulting their fans, but rather by being nice and polite, which eventually shows by marked number of installations and lot of downloads.

[Dave Hybrid]

People like you ruin free opensource. You have no idea how much work is involved, right now I'm paying a coder $100's to fix issues with database speed. You said I'm a scam, it's a linkback stop being so dramatic. Also links go for dollars, not thousands, i dont know where you get that from. If you get these pages indexed you get traffic, that traffic can earn you $1,000's so there is my 'payment' for the link. Either way it was a credit link and you removed it, did leaving it in really hurt you that bad. No. You're just being selfish and trying to justify it. Also how is getting support then telling me you are removing credit nice and polite, what goes around comes around buddy. I suggest you start practicing what you preach. Hypocrite.

Dave, your problem is that you do not listen to what your fans (I am still one of them, but not for long) have to say.

I offered to pay you for the script, to get rid of linking by sending a donation. And you are on and on about everything else, skipping and completely overlooking important topics like ridiculous implementation of your linking.

Guys, am I alone here? Or do you also find problems with Dave attitude? :eek:

[Dave Hybrid]

And you didn't listen to anything I said.

[Dave Hybrid]

My attitude? Your the one dictating that i take money to remove the link. I have to accept or you'll remove it anyway. That was not on offer, i added a discreet credit link, discreet not so you couldn't find it but so it didn't tarnish the look of anyones forum. If you didn't like what was on offer, don't use the product.

[jarosciak]

Dave,

translateflags.php has a problem with default language settings.

Line for English (my default language) is adding this code to the end of my existing English pages: "&hl=en"

This creates double posts, because, example:
forum.com/showthread.php?t=59894&hl=en
is the same thing as:
forum.com/showthread.php?t=59894

Google would recognize this as two different pages and eventually ban my site for duplicate posting.

THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I've fixed this issue on my site already, by amending the line and getting rid of &hl=en references.

Dave, amend your code so your script doesn't get people's website banned or penalized by Google.

[Dave Hybrid]

Anyway, i tired of this, giving something away isn't meant to make me feel used all the time.

So, the update that I am testing that fixes the database errors and speed is not getting released, it's cost me hundreds to code and you're all so ungrateful.

The current version is only good for small 1k thread sites, as the db grows it grinds to a halt and crashes.

Happy now.

It's obvious that the condition for using the mod is that he wants a link, so either give him the link or don't use his mod. It's easy. Anyone who whines is just forgetting who did the work to make this mod available to us.

I'd translate the page into Spanish and the translation is not that good, of course, is a google translator, one of the phrases f.i shows the adults the best way to eat their kids, lol, but that's not a developer problem and I guess the meanng of this mod is not for people of other languages to actually post or participated from the forum but for indexes purposes.

As far as the special characters they are showig, like ? and accents ?, ?, etc.

I'm not criticizing, i'm trying to help out the developer, if we don't tell him what's going on he won't know.

[Dave Hybrid]

I posted a fix for this tonight, but due to some ungrateful ppl i have revoked the script and all support. Also, the version i was due to release in a few days was to fix the current bigger bug of speed, so, i would uninstall as the current version is no good and a new on is not coming.

Don't call me names, I didn't do anything wrong.
I asked you to change the way you want me to link to you, that's all.
Offered to pay for your script and also offer to donate money to you.

Regarding being banned by Google for duplicate content, it's very simple:

I've seen two sites so far banned for duplicate content, just by adding a single new variable to the end of url. Exactly the samething as you're doing.

It may happen, or may not, but I've mentioned it, because it's a simple fix and people should know about it, to prevent such action rather then eventually being sorry about installing your script.

Dave, just to ease you a little bit. What if I added a link to your forum to a bottom footer of my page. Normally I have couple users there paying approx. $100/Month for such links, to gain Google relevance or to get quickly indexed.
Would that work for you.
Please understand, I don't want some made up flag sitting in the middle of language flags, misleading people into clicking on it.
Surely you can see the point in what I am saying.

Offered to pay for your script and also offer to donate money to you.

Regarding being banned by Google for duplicate content, it's very simple:

I've seen two sites so far banned for duplicate content, just by adding a single new variable to the end of url. Exactly the samething as you're doing.

It may happen, or may not, but I've mentioned it, because it's a simple fix and people should know about it, to prevent such action rather then eventually being sorry about installing your script.

Did you miss the bit where it said it would pick one and rank that and discard the rest. Your being dramatic, it was a bug, but saying my script will get you banned is horse shit.
