Title: multilanguage Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # multilanguage * Resolved [silviod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silviod/) * (@silviod) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/) * Very nice plugin, I would like to buy pro version, but… Is’nt it localizable? I need to show text in two languages… Sure, I could do it by myself: it need just to add `__('` and `');` to each text string, but my work would be overwritten by every update of the plugin. So, what about to localize it in the source? cheers * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/mybooktable/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/mybooktable/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [Thomas Umstattd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neovita/) * (@neovita) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097738) * Localization is a feature on our timeline but not something we have developed yet. * We have the project on git hub. I would be will to trade a free copy of the API for some help localizing the plugin. Localization is not something we have a lot of experience in. This is our first plugin to have international interest. * Plugin Author [Thomas Umstattd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neovita/) * (@neovita) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097741) * By “Free copy of the API” I mean a free copy of our Developer Add-On * Thread Starter [silviod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silviod/) * (@silviod) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097751) * Thank you very much. * To localize MyBookTable you just need to change static texts (for example in taxonomies.php): * ``` register_taxonomy('mbt_author', 'mbt_book', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'labels' => array( 'name' => 'Authors', 'singular_name' => 'Author', 'all_items' => 'All Authors', ``` * _eccetera…_ * with something like this * ``` register_taxonomy('mbt_author', 'mbt_book', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'labels' => array( 'name' => __('Authors', 'mybooktable'), 'singular_name' => __('Author', 'mybooktable'), 'all_items' => __('All authors', 'mybooktable'), ``` * _eccetera…_ * so, internationalization plugins like WPML or similar will be able to identify“ Authors”, “Author”, “All authors”, eccetera… as static text belonging to “mybooktable” and possibly replace it with the equivalent text in another language (it will be up to the end user fill in the translations, however). You should do this for each string intended for display eg. “books”, “series”… * Unfortunately I’m not enough skilled to be more helpful 🙁 but it seems to be enough and [here](http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-localize-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/) you can find a tutorial. * cheers * Thread Starter [silviod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silviod/) * (@silviod) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097818) * So, I am ready to send you the file taxonomies.php modified for internationalization. It seems to work. There is still some string around, but it’s a good start. * How can I contact? * Plugin Author [Thomas Umstattd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neovita/) * (@neovita) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097819) * We do all code collaboration through GitHub. * [https://github.com/authormedia/mybooktable](https://github.com/authormedia/mybooktable) * This way you can submit the code right into our project for review. This will also allow others to submit changes as they find additional strings that need to get internationalized. * See [http://lifehacker.com/5983680/how-the-heck-do-i-use-github](http://lifehacker.com/5983680/how-the-heck-do-i-use-github) if you need help using GitHub. * Go to [http://www.authormedia.com/contact/](http://www.authormedia.com/contact/) and I’ll get you connected with our developer directly. * Thread Starter [silviod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silviod/) * (@silviod) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097827) * done!

Similarly, link to bookshop home or other navigation links do not work. * deactivating WPML, Mybooktable back to work, but text strings in my site switch back to english! * Unfortunately, WPML is essential for those who have a blog in languages ​​other than English. * wpml staff provides assistance to developers who want to make their plugins compatible: [http://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/](http://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/) * so, please fix it! 🙂 * Plugin Author [Thomas Umstattd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neovita/) * (@neovita) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multilanguage-4/#post-4097954) * We have a link to your site.
