 * Hi,
 * Im having some issues with my site. I have used the qtranslate x plugin to translate
   the pages and I have placed in the menu the button to change the language. However
   when I click the flag to change the language it seems that the page is updated
   but it is still in the same language.
 * The termination of the link does change when you click the flag (/? Lang = en)/(/?
   Lang = en) but the page is not translated. I have seen that if you do this and
   go to the browser bar and press enter it translates, however, it is not good 
   for visitors to have to do that in an awkward way.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flanguage-button%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Castosolano.
 * It seems that I have the same problem on my website… When I click on the flag
   or translation button, the page is updated but the translation doesn’t appear…
   I have to refresh the page.

 * Hi Sophie,

   topic.

 * Could this be just a server issue regarding the memory allocated? I remember 
   having had ablot of issues before finally moving to Siteground. qTranslate-x 
   is eating quite a lot of ressources…

 * Hi Anticosi,
 * Do you mean it can be a problem related to my hosting?
 * I find it strange since it seems to be something related to the refresh aspect
   of the page, which does not finish being completed.

 * Hello again,
 * I have managed to make some changes. Now when clicking on the flag to change 
   the language the page is updated and changes the language correctly. However 
   you are redirected to the main page.
 * Example: (I am in “[http://escultura.es/declaracion/?lang=es&#8221](http://escultura.es/declaracion/?lang=es&#8221);
   and I change the language. Instead of taking me to “[http://escultura.es/declaracion/?lang=en&#8221](http://escultura.es/declaracion/?lang=en&#8221);
   it takes me to [http://escultura.es/](http://escultura.es/) “

 * Yes, it did the same on my website ! When I clicked on the flag, the translation
   was effective but it came back on the main page… And when I clicked again on 
   the other flag to come back to the first langage nothing changed… !
 * So, I gave up on this pluggin to be honest. I just put the both translations 
   on the same page, it’s not a big deal in my case.
 * If you don’t mind, keep me informed if you find a solution, it would be great.
   Or if you try an other free plugin which works well for translations, let me 
   know. Thanks a lot Castosolano and good luck !

 * [@sophiecamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiecamp/), you might like
   to try [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) plugin.
