How to Translate Your Blog Title and Description Using qTranslate Plugin
Since qTranslate plugin introduced its new feature about QuickTags, we can now translate our field content to another languages so easily. Simply just add this language tag [:en] for English translation at the beginning of your English field content, and also add another language tag at the beginning of your field content that contains of the words or sentences in your language. At this moment, I will show you how to translate the blog title and description by adding the tags related to the languages that I use (English and Indonesian).
- Go to your admin panel, then click on Settings -> General
- At the Blog Title directive, add the language tag. For example, your Blog Title is: My First Website. Change it become:
[:en]My First Website[:id]Situs Pertamaku - At the Tagline directive, also add the language tag. For example, your Tagline is: This is my first website. Change it become:
[:en]This is my first website[:id]Ini situs pertamaku - Save your settings by click on Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
Now, when you choose English as the current language from your language selector, then it will show you as:
My First Website
This is my first website
and when you switch its language become Indonesian language, it will show you as:
Situs Pertamaku
Ini situs pertamaku

The title of the items should be less than 100 characters while the description should be below 500. Blog Plugin
Hi Blog Plugin. Thanks for your comment. Yup. Although this blog title and description being saved in the certain column which has the field type as LongText and there is no limitation for the amount of characters, I am definitely agree with you. Even IMHO, the blog title should be less than 50 characters, while the description should be below 100 characters. Cheers!
Great Post.
Thanks for the details.

Hello,
Thank you for the great quality of your blog, each time I come here, I’m amazed.
Great solution. It worked but once i’ve done it, it’s not what i reaaly need because what i really need to change is the tab title (hehe) but anyway good job!
Mau tanya dong, setelah kita instal qtranslate, apakah kita harus definisikan bahasa blog kita, yaitu dg
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘id_ID’); di wp-config
saya sudah coba instal qtranslate, dan langsung saya test di homepage sy, tapi tetap pakai bahasa indonesia.
Bisa tolong pemula qtranslate ini… ;(
Thanx b4

Bisa ya, bisa tidak. Anda tidak harus mendefinisikan id_ID di file wp-config. Tergantung bahasa default untuk blog Anda apa. Contohnya, blog saya ini menggunakan bahasa default English, maka wp-config saya biarkan begitu saja tanpa diset secara eksplisit. Tapi jika blog Anda menggunakan bahasa Indonesia, maka file wp-config tadi perlu Anda sesuaikan.
Pastikan di panel admin untuk qTranslate-nya, bahasa yang tidak Anda gunakan dihapus saja. Contoh, jika Anda hanya menggunakan English dan Indonesian, maka selain kedua bahasa tadi yang terdapat di bagian “Languages” dihapus. Pastikan juga ketika Anda membuat artikel, Anda sudah menterjemahkan ke bahasa lain yang Anda gunakan.
