 * Hi
 * I am running a blog with 2 languages (German and English) and would like to get
   a language related string from the field Tagline (as included in Sociable Options
   menu).
 * Usually tags like [:de] or <!–:de–> and <!–:–> are separating the phrases from
   each other. A sample string would look like:
    _[:de]Diesen Artikel weiterempfehlen:[:
   en]Recommend this article via:_
 * Is there any chance that you could change the plugin to make it returning the
   correct tagline according to the blog lanugage currently set?
 * Thx
    Florian

 * Hi
 * The address of my blog is [http://www.xflo.net](http://www.xflo.net)
 * I am running it with two languages, German as default. The qTranslate plug-in
   does a great job to turn a blog into a multi language one.
 * Since I am running my blog with two languages I need all titles and captions 
   to be displayed in English as well as German, according to the language selected
   by the user.
 * For example take the category menu in wp-admin. There is only 1 field to enter
   a category description, but if I enter a string like “[:de]Kategorie für Fotos[:
   en]Category for Photos” then WP automatically strips out the correct string according
   to the language the user has selected. Hence the function we’re talking about
   must be WP built-in.
 * I want the same with Sociable. I want the content of the field Tagline to be 
   displayed according to the selected user language by entering a string like _[:
   de]Diesen Artikel weiterempfehlen:[:en]Recommend this article via:_
 * Hope you got my point 🙂

 * Hi
 * Did you download the correct plugin? It’s qTranslate (Q) not g.
 * You know there are so many fields in WordPress, fields like title of the blog,
   description of a category etc, also there are so many fields provided by other
   plug-ins, for example only take the plug-in providing Facebook integration. In
   all of them the method mentioned above always works. So it must be a WP built-
   in function. I can always enter a string like _[:de]German text[:en]English text_
   and WP automatically separates and display the correct substring according to
   the language the website has chosen.
