Comments on: YD Setup Locale http://www.yann.com Développeur WordPress freelance à Paris Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:22:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Y.Dubois http://www.yann.com/en/wp-plugins/yd-setup-locale#comment-4624 Y.Dubois Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:24:38 +0000 http://www.yann.com/?page_id=432#comment-4624 @All: The plugin works, but this site (yann.com) has never been totally localized and does not use one of Wordpress i18n plugins. So please don't base your appreciation on all that you see here. Localizing a custom theme is hard work. Also, some plugins don't support localization, so you would have to either get rid of those or rewrite them to support language switching. For the plugin to work, you must make sure (using the permalink structure usually) that your page and posts url contain the two-letter sequence that governs the switch. Like on this site: if you look at the html headers, you will see that although some of the CONTENT of the pages might not be translated, the actual language environment is switched depending on the /en or /fr url prefix, which is reflected in the <html lang="..."> tag at the very top of the page source code. If you can't achieve such a URL structure then you won't be able to use this plugin. @All:

So in essence I will need to have a seperate wordpress setup for each language /en /fr /es so that I can start my blog with that as the first name, or is there something funky I can do with the Permalinks settings? I hate to say it, but I am viewing english [en] as my browser language and it is defaulting to french date time and form text is also in french. i.e Envoyez votre réponse Nom (required) e-mail (ne sera pas publié) (required) Site Web Yann,

It only changes the meta and html header information appropriately, as well as Wordpress internal variables. You still have to translate the content yourself! As for this page, just lookup the html code, you will see the headers are set right for English (en). I did not translate my site's side menu but this is unrelated: if I were to provide a .POT translation file for example, it would work.

Would be nice also if you sorted out this page so that it was in english not in French..... http://www.yann.com/en/wp-plugins/yd-setup-locale as it does not give me much confidence to download and work with your plugin. is this product for just pages or is it for posts as well. seems to suggest that it will be only pages??
