Multiple languages / Meerdere talen

Technical Add comments
    Change language to: nederlands

Tom Scholten informed me about how he did his multiple languages within Wordpress. He told me how he did it, but at first I messed up because of the broken lang_rewrite option. I had set this option to false after Tom advised me to do so, and now it works like a charm. I have multiple language support now!

    Tnx for the kudo’s Remko :P But it looks very nice and now we can read your website in any language we prefer.

    I’m not sure if comments are also translated

    Yup, even comments get translated … very impressive!

    It seems very nice, I actually wondered when I was reading your post about the FAQ. Could you please point me some links to enable this feature?

    Hi Gabor,

    I used the software from http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php/polyglot/, I installed the plugin, changed the "lang_rewrite" option to false, and added the following to the code in my theme (pick a spot that suits your need)

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. <ul><i>Change language to : </i>
    2.         <?php if(function_exists('lp_other_langs')) { //display existing language versions of the post
    3.                 lp_other_langs('','', '', '', ''); }?> </ul>

    I did that for the following files: index.php, single.php, page.php (you can ofcourse add it to more files).

    Without Tom I couldn't easily have done this, and these are instructions I got from him :) thanks Tom!
