This is FAQ :)
Questions: What is required for this mod to work? After translation I get blank page - what is wrong? After translation all text disappear - what is wrong? I have SEO translation links on, I use vBSEO and main page is not translating - what is wrong? What to do, to have translations links good for SEO consensus? I have indexed pages from old translator (with hl=) - what to do? I have indexed pages from old links type (with language=) and want switch to SEO links- what to do? How do you get back to default language after you click a flag? I have warnings in safe mode - what to do? Can I add translated pages to sitemap? Answers: What is required for this mod to work? - You must install it ;) and configure it appropriatelly (please read parameters descriptions carefully) :) - You must have installed CURL in your php. Most servers already have it. Just install this mod and if it is not working then ask your server stuff to install CURL. In meantime you can disable mod or remove flags so users will not be affected. If you get blank page for translation pages (it will not affect your normal pages) it means that you don't have CURL installed - just install it :) - You must have installed ICONV in your php. Most servers already have it. If not an error will occur or blank page for translations. After translation I get blank page - what is wrong? Just read answer for previous question :) After translation all text disappear - what is wrong? 2 possibilities: - You didn't fallow installation instructions. You MUST configure at least Forum language option and Yandex Translation API key. Just configure mod :) - You set wrong Yandex API key - just set there appropriate value. I have SEO translation links on, I use vBSEO and main page is not translating - what is wrong? First, make sure that your .htaccess rules are OK - especially for forums with subdirectory in URL. What to do, to have translations links good for SEO consensus? You have to set appropriate option in Admin CP and change/create .htaccess file (NOTE: you can use SEO translation links even without vbSEO!) for users without vbSEO - If you don't have .htaccess file then use the one from do-not-upload directory in mod package - just upload it to your forum directory - If you have .htaccess file, then add those lines there: Code:
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|sq|ca|et|tl|gl|hi|id|lv|lt|mt|sl|uk|vi|cy|yi)/archive/index.php/(.*)?$ archive/index.php?/$2&language=$1 [L,QSA] Edit .htaccess file: Put those rules JUST BEFORE all rules to vbseo.php: Code:
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php?vbet_lang=$1&redirected=/ [L,QSA] I have indexed pages from old translator (with hl=) - what to do? Just set rewrite rule in .htaccess - Google will know that page have new place and will reindex it without any loss :) Code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (hl=)(zh-TW|zh-CN|..)$ First make SEO links available. After that add this rule to .htaccess (before SEO rules): Code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (hl=|language=)(zh-TW|zh-CN|..) How do you get back to default language after you click a flag? If you have set tracking option on, then to go back to your default language you must just click flag for your default language :) I have warnings in safe mode - what to do? Just turn off save mode - it is DEPRECATED in php and not supported in future versions. See here for details: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.sec...#ini.safe-mode Can I add translated pages to sitemap? You can simply integrate vBET with vBSEO Sitemap Generator (it is free) to include links to translated pages into generated sitemap. Please note that instructions below will allow you to add into your sitemap links for threads translated pages. Because of performance reason those links will not be translated - there will be only added language code. Google will find real page anyway since you will get 301 redirect. Please note that it is not best approach - Google prefers to have final links in sitemap not redirecting one, but forcing translation of thousands links in all languages in the same time could kill your server or be threated by Google as attack (if links are not cached yet). If you have any PHP programming skills you can modify instructions below to support also other parts of sitemap - not only threads URLs. Solution below will add translated links only for first pages of threads. Integration instructions: You just have to edit one file: vbseo_sitemap_functions.php in vbseo_sitemap directory. Find: PHP Code:
For SEO links PHP Code:
Also if you disabled some languages in option panel you have to delete its codes too. For links with language= PHP Code:
Also if you disabled some languages in option panel you have to delete its codes too. NOTE FOR SITEMAP INTEGRATION: If you want to add to sitemap also links for other thread pages (if thread have several pages), then additional code must be added BEFORE: PHP Code:
Piece of cake :) |
Installed and working well, just waiting for VBSEO re-writes to be sorted out and I'll be a happy chappy. ;)
Michael, have you worked out how we can get the new urls mapped in the vbseo sitemap generator? edit. If people want to set the languages as a default, ie; /forum/country/forum.php then put the following into your .htaccess file and select the "Create URL's according to SEO link consensus (i.e. '/en/address')" ooption in Translation links type. please remember that if you use this mod that it is not yet compatible with vbseo3.5 at the moment, so vbseo would need to be disabled, although as that has bugs in it, so I personally have disabled it anyway.

|
nice waiting for the paid version to be published for vb 4 :D
|
is this good for SEO?
is it considered duplicate content? |
thank you very much
|
Thanks was waiting for this one :-)
|
YOU ARE AMAZING AND FAST! I have waited for the vb4 version for a very long patient time! Thank you!
|
Thanks NLP-er,
I been keeping your homepage hot looking for this, but thought it'd be a month or two from now. I been having thousands of errors in my webmasters tools since "having" to abandon this Great piece of code. I'll be buying you a beer :cool: come Friday Mate. :) Thanks a million, |
I translated it to chinese just to test it and on the footer and under it, it's spamming it with this stuff..
Quote:
I noticed that it is repeating the whole page under the footer over and over again, I'm thinking it is my chatbox product that is causing this... so i will check. But any ideas for now? |

EDIT: Sorry, I had them after upgrading. The url's wasn't there anymore because the Mod wasn't. P.S. About the beer; expecting some money come Friday.....:) |
I edited my forumhome template to not have the language drop down that isn't needed for this is it? The user just clicks the flag and translation begins right?
|
Charlie, that is correct mate, but hold fire as I know that NLP has got this working with VBSEO 3,5 (because I have)
and with the edits in the vbseo page as shown above for sitemap generator it now generates the sitemaps in 52 languages as I've just tried it on my forum. I do know that NLP will be releasing the latest version very shortly. ;) |
Working fine on my site also with vbSEO installed.
Was lost there for a little bit because it wasn't showing up when I logged in.....duh ( Need to read everything ) I had it set that way, and didn't realize it.....lol Working better than it was on vB 3.8.x site to I do believe. Thanks, UPDATE: Also checked my site on google. All the translate links are coming in now just like before! SUPER ( No more broken links ) :) |
Personaly i dont need it on my site , but i just have to say that this is a FREAKING AWSOME VB PLUGIN , i checked the Demo its unbelievable , Nominated for MOTM. Bravo NLP-er .
Every Peny,dollar,euro that goes for this product , is a good investment |
Great mod :) thanks buddy

"This is beta version! It was not tested with vBSEO3.5 yet." But be calm - 2.4.1 will support vBSEO3.5 and will be released in minutes :D |

Thanks when I get the time later today or tomorrow I'll start getting this installed then. I don't use VBSEO.

2.4.1 RELEASED
This version supports vBSEO 3.5 so you do not need to update if you are not using vBSEO. Please remember that mod is still in eta stage, but it was tested and logic is working well since months - it is in beta stage because of integration with new vB and vBSEO versions. So enjoy!! :D |
Fantastic Add on thanks very much !!
Nominated for MOTM |
Thankyou NLP'er, i was waiting for this, Only problem i've got is now when i generate a sitemap instead of getting the normal screen of info i just get the one line
Quote:
Code:
//additional code I'm running vb4 PL1 gold, VBSEO RC1 PL1 and sitemap 2.6 B1 |
Is there any way that the flags could be viewed in a drop down menu ??
|
Great mod indeed. I have a question if you allow me:
I am in a urgent need for a translation service and this mod works just fine, my problem is that I have different forum categories with different languages. But you can set only one language in the adminCP, so when translating, almost all other languages are ignored. IS there a way for a language detection? |
Ryacine, the person coming onto your site can just click the flag of their countries choice to translate the others
(I think) I'll do a test on my site and get back to you on here |
Quote:
|
Thank you Delilas for your answer. The mod woks like a charm as you said, just by clicking the flag, translation is performed.
My problem is that, my forum is like this:
|
Have you tried not setting the language in the set up screen? ;)

Edit: I made the test right now, and guess what... It didn't work, ie nothing worked, all you have is a forum empty with no text in it. Very funny. |
|
Michal, on my forum in recent days, when i click on a language, it doesn't change the language at all.
If I hover over a flag with my mouse, it gives the correct url for that country, ie; /forum/ca/forum.php, but once I click on it, it goes to /forum/forum.php It looks like a rewrite problem, can you advise on what to do on this? I have changed the .htaccess file to the same as your test zone, and although it works on the CMS pages, it doesn't work on the forums. |
I have one error....
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vbet_getSupportedTranslations() in public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(283) : eval()'d code on line 148 |
i dont know if this was reported but if user in ont eh url /forums/forum.php and then click a flag like PT u get /pt/forums/forum.php but is a 404
