Thanks for the update Dont know if I see a speed increase but it's functioning just fine
As I show in tests results - average difference was 0,5 second - it can be hard to notice it by you, but your server will see the difference when handling several translations in same time
Ok I'm a bit confused with all the different updates throughout this thread .... I'm still using v2.0 of the script. Can you please tell me the easiest way to upgrade to v2.3b while preserving the translations already in the DB?
Thanks,
Gerald.
As wrote Dave - fallow instructions in links, als okeep in mind that you have to made it all. So you cannot just jump from 2.0 to 2.3b - you have to first made updates to 2.1, then to 2.2 and so on And by updates I mean DB updates, because translate.php (and plugin code) you can take just from final version.
Also note - it is wise to dissable cache before you start making any changes, and enable if after upgrate is finished. Otherwise you can have errors, because of differend DB state and dfferent translate.php instructions.
Great idea of a mod. Helpful for sure. I am watching this with interest. I am planning to install it in short time.
I have a suggestion from user pov:
For example: If you land on and English forum with a Polish search (on the Polish translation) you might be confuse the forum to a local one and try to post in Polish. (don't assume all users know at least a 10th of what you know. They don't. )
You can address this with an warning under the flags (big letters) that forum is translated, original content being in English.
" You are reading on a Polish translation of the original forum (in English). You can register here for free!" (for example)
Problem is you need this translated too in all languages and to appear in corespondent translations.
You may want to let admin decide what to put inside as a text because it might happen there are some subforums in Polish but he landed on the English part. So you may suggest:
"If you find this interesting you might visit our Polish section here."
With this you address a previously raised concern about the utility of this mod. Is understandable a Polish person will run from a translated site very fast but in case he knows English it might interest him. Hence you can get more users.
I am saying this because I have an International forum in English (I plan to add some 2-3 additional languages forums) but I rely also on users not native in English but interested in the subject (Aliens in my case )
I think best way is to make a phrase (so we can edit and customize) under flags and to be translated by Google in respective language.
I am waiting a little and take a shot at it. I need also to clear how links will be constructed under VBSEO (as I have this installed too).
Again thanks and congratulation on great idea MOD from traffic pov but also from international accessibility pov to a foreign language content.
David, we still keep getting that DB error? Will a fix be released for this soon?
It's impossible to fix as far as we know, some long pages on your sites take a few mins to translate, MySQL doesn't like having a connection open that long while big pages are written to the database, nothing I can do after much trying. They will go away when your site is translated fully and do not impact the running of your site in any way. They are false warnings in effect.
