1) I am unable to get the flags to display on VBAdvanced, this is a first time I am unable to get a variable to call when on VBAdvanced, so I am not sure the issue.

I only editted the nav bits to include the flags, works on all other addons, except for VBAdvanced.

2) When you choose to translate a page, it is directing to: "www.domain.com/?hl=ar" when it should go to: "www.domain.com/index.php?hl=ar"

I am sure this issue directs right back at VBAdvanced, as I am using HTACCESS to make "portal.php" my default page instead of "index.php".

With that, I am assuming it won't work on "downloads.php, etc." for any other addons one might be running.

3) I am also using Zoints SEO, assuming item #2 can be fixed, will it then work with this?

Now for some questions:

1) Can we remove your link flag if we provide a link in our footer? I am thinking the extra flag is going to be hugely confusing.

2) Are the newly translated pages updated to the Sitemap? I am at a loss as to how this MOD will add new links to google if they are not really part of the site per say.

3) Is there a way so once you switch to a language it stays on that language, I am seeing it could be potential quite a challenge for viewers if they need to click the flag on every page.

Thanks!

A bump for my questions....

As to me, it's not easy to solve the mysql_set_charset() error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_set_charset() in /home/hosting_users/www/forum/translate.php on line 43

Otherwise I installed this other domain, and I found the traslated text were stored in database, but it's take a log time while browsing it by national flags. It's hardly not used to browse.

I'm not sure these issues only to me.

I think this hack still under develop and so it must be to wait until more stable release.

But, I promote your works.

Thank you.

This is for standard vb or vb + vbseo, it says that in the install. It is not ok with zoints rewritten URLs.

So one question down, any chance you could take the time to do a real reply or would that be asking to much?

Thanks for the try . . .

I couldnt locate it in german, dutch or spanish. That is a good question and I asked the same in my post, I am thinking some of the claims of what this mod can do are allot of smoke.

It translate one page at a time, is about the extent of it.

un-installed.

If you see this error it means that PHP doesn't know that function - it is not this mod cause. You have wrong version of PHP or not instaled propertly. See php manual:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...et-charset.php

First translation is always long, because google translates it so long and it cannot be skipped. After that it is cached and next generation of this page is very fast.

LOL, clearly you don't have a clue buddy, blogboost is blocked via robots.txt as test sites have to be according to the vb license.

Oh, 5,000 indexed translated pages here on a users site.
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%...off&sa=G&tbo=1

I have forums with 10% of the total pages possible indexed and getting 1,000's of new daily uniques after just 2 weeks. If they had 100% of the translated pages indexed, which will take a few months as normal, they will get getting 10's of 000's of new daily uniques.

I don't have to prove anything, take it or leave it, it makes no matter to me. I dont gain or lose by making false claims do I lol it's free.

To add, all the haters make me laugh. We are all here for mostly the same reason, traffic and profit. Someone comes along and says look try this it works real easy and requires little work and you all pull it apart.

It's free FFS! What have you to lose?

I really have nothing to gain from releasing this other than giving back to a community that has helped me. Stick with gaining the odd member here and there, writing articles and submitting to directories lol.

To get ahead online you need to think outside the box, the sooner you realise this the sooner you'll all get where you want to be.

Thank you kindly direction to solve it.

I have two different server, MySQL and PHP version except Charset is utf-8.
As your comment, it seems to be caused by MySQL version. Accoring to mannual, that charset requres over MySQL 5.0.7 but my two server is lower than.

One of server has that

MySQL Version is 5.0.51a-log
PHP 5.2.5

and this desn't return any error messages, but when I tried other server has lower version than this, PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 5.0.19.

In this server, it return Fatal error at mysql_set_charset; in translate.php

Well, How about this need to use cron job works in advanced before it run?
In my case, browising got stopped at last because it take too long time to translate and to stored cache table.

yours.

Hi,
If I take a look in Google I am already satisfy seeing about 16.400 pages.
But we to have to be a little careful with this numbers.
At this point in time Google know about 16.400 pages but not all about the content, that need some time. So I will wait and see what?s happened in the next month.

I am using Woopra for statistics. There I am able to create Event notifications.
So I try to add whenever an URL within ??hl=? is called.
If this is working, I will try Combination with referrers.
But it is not working. Not in Woopra and not in the Forums Statistic.
Attachment 101764Attachment 101763

I did add my Link Spider to the Spider List and I see that he is going to every page 28 times but I do ever see the same URL without the ??hl=?.
In the Visitor (Woopra) tracking I am able to see strange Signs in the title, so this pages are tracked, but not the correct URL.
Have anybody an Idea how to make that visible? Might be very interesting to monitor that traffic over the next month.

Greetings Christian

PS.: If I cannot see the full URL, is it possible to add something to the title for all translated pages?
So let them start (or at the end) with ?<|> ?, than it will possible filter this out of the title.
