# shortcode / documentation wiki / api keys /

 * Hi there!
    A big thank you for this great plug in, I really do love it, and it
   fits exactly what I need. Setting up a blog with German and English postings,
   I really would love to offer the possibility to users to translate the postings
   written in the other language. It is not this easy to set this up with other 
   plug ins.
 * I have some questions though.
 * 1. As mentioned I write in English and German. German is the main language of
   the blog. I would love to show a small text right before every posting, telling
   the reader, in which language the original posting is written in. Regarding this
   issue:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-language-shortcode/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-language-shortcode/)
   there are shortcodes. But the one provided there [tpe mylang] just displays the
   currently selected language. Is there any ahortcode to show the original language
   entered in the “Set Post language” tab when writing a new posting? I would like
   to show the sentence “This post is originally written in English” or “Das Original
   dieses Beitrags ist in deutsch geschrieben”. [tpe mylang] not only doesn’t show
   the original language, it also shows the short form (“en” or “de”). So I hope
   to find something to display original language the full name.
 * 2.
    By the way, the [tpe mylang] shortcode seems not to work for me. It is not
   this important to me, but worth telling. As mentioned, the main language of my
   blog is set to German in the “languages” setting of the transposh plug in. When
   displaying [tpe mylang] inside a German posting without translation, it shows“
   de”, which is correct. But when I switch the language to English in the front
   end, it displays some short, random German words like “in”, “von”, “bei” or “
   mit”. I tried to reproduce that error by switching the main language to English
   and writing an English posting. Now it is the other way around, displaying “en”
   correct when English is chosen in the front end, but some random stuff is shown
   when switching to German. Astonishingly this random stuff also are short, German
   words. I did not play around in the php of the plug in or something. 3. I am 
   not sure if you know that your website is down. I was going to search in the 
   wiki for the shortcodes, but all I got is a white page telling me “Laravel requires
   the Mcrypt PHP extension”. This seems to concern everything on “[http://trac.transposh.org/&#8221](http://trac.transposh.org/&#8221);
   4. I am wondering a bit why transposh does work. I did not enter any API key 
   for google, msn or anything else. But my postings are translated nevertheless.
   I mean, I don’t want to moan about a working plug in, but I am not sure if this
   is right. Maybe the plug in original from your webpage [http://svc.transposh.org/transposh.latest.zip](http://svc.transposh.org/transposh.latest.zip)
   does include your private API-key by error or something? 5. Like some others 
   I have trouble to display the “edit translation” box within the front end. It
   shows some crazy stuff, and I learned that there is a workaround posted multiple
   times here in the faq. I also leaned that you are working on an updated version.
   The edit-function is not this important to me, but would be nice to have. So 
   I ask myself if it is worth trying to implement the workaround and re-writing
   the css stuff and the jQueryUI version (if there are months till the update release)
   or simply wait for the updated version (if there are weeks till then)
 * Best regards and thank you for this great plug in!
 * Christian

 * Hi,
    This may not be exactly what you are looking for but could help to achieve
   something similar. I am using the following shortcode to display text only on
   specific pages : `[tp lang="en" only]This text will only appear on English pages,
   such as translator credits.[/tp]`
 * It works with the block editor (can be in a text or shortcode block), though 
   for an unknown reason, you now have to tick the box ‘enable translation of default
   language’ in the plugin settings for that shortcode (and perhaps others?) to 
   work.
 * Regarding the edit translation box, I just see that it has been fixed by the 
   plugin author in the last version (1.0.7) and the jQuery migrate helper plugin
   is not necessary anymore.
 * Hope this helps.
