I checked your site, seems to be working fine.

The DB errors will happen, you can reduce them but upping the time out limit of MySQL.

Some pages take some time to translate due to the amount of text on the page and MySQL get's impatient, they will stop eventually as translations load from cache and do not impact the working of your site.

Is it possible to do that?:

When the page will be translated for the first time, user will see the message "Please wait ... Loading ..."

I think you're missing the point, any current users on your site are not interested in other languages so they aint gonna click anything often.

The users that come from google to your translated pages will see the page load instant, because for the page to be indexed in the first place the search bot would of already translated it and cached it for you.

So it really isn't necessary imo.

I think it is a limit of the hosting unfortunately. I can check to see if the MySQL limits can be altered but I may not have much of a choice.

What would be the best way to limit the script to only vB pages? Since I have so many different mods that it will not work with I think it would be best to wrap the flag code in conditionals. Has anybody done this yet?

hey mate you talking to me or what??? speak! if so thx.

Yes, wrap them in conditionals so the flags only show on certain pages, i only put them on my showthread pages and to guests because those are the one that will pull the traffic and use the flags.

----------------------------------------

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1)">
<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')">
-code-
</if>
</if>

I believe they were, basically you need to remove the flag your base language is in.

So find the line for english and put

<!--

at the start. and

-->

at the end.

Or just delete the line altogether, same thing happens, the flag will not display.

That works perfectly. The translation also seems to work better on the showthread in general, probably because there are less mods than on Forumhome.

Still getting some database errors but once on the first access. After that everything comes up.

Thanks again :)

Hey is there a way to block certain parts of the page from being translated?

This sort of functionality would be VERY nice.

For example

Text that gets translated here
<!--notranslatestart-->
This text doesnt get translated
<!--notranslateend-->
text that gets translated here

Do you think it can be done?

Not yet, we may do it in the future. Working on some other features right now but it's been noted, thanks.
