If you wan to get the value of those three constants, then you can put this code to your index.php file of your current theme.

<?php 
  echo "<br />Language Code: ".ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE; 
  echo "<br />Original Language Name: ".ICL_LANGUAGE_NAME; 
  echo "<br />Language Name in English: ".ICL_LANGUAGE_NAME_EN; 
?>

Suppose you are using English (en) and Indonesian (id) language, and you want to check the current language code only, so you can execute the certain code related to the current language code, then you can use this following code:

<?php
  if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'en') {
    // put your code here if the current language code is 'en' (English)
  } elseif (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'id') {
    // put your code here if the current language code is 'id' (Indonesian)
  }
?>

Hopefully this will be helpful.

To make this code running, simply create a new file named detectbrowserlanguage.php. Copy-paste the following code below to that file and save the file. Put the file onto the root directory of your web server. Then run or call this file via your browser, for example: http://www.yourdoimain.com/detectbrowserlanguage.php.

<?php
  $prefered_languages = array();
  if(preg_match_all("#([^;,]+)(;[^,0-9]*([0-9\.]+)[^,]*)?#i", 
	$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"], 
	$matches, 
	PREG_SET_ORDER)) {
    $priority = 1.0;
    foreach($matches as $match) {
      if(!isset($match[3])) {
        $pr = $priority;
        $priority -= 0.001;
      } else {
        $pr = floatval($match[3]);
      }
      $prefered_languages[$match[1]] = $pr;
    }
    arsort($prefered_languages, SORT_NUMERIC);
    foreach($prefered_languages as $language => $priority) {
      echo "This browser using language code: ".$language;
      exit;
    }
  }
?>

Each time after you change the language at the first position on the list, then try to run again the code above via browser. You should see the result is the same language code with the one you have just changed before. This code sometimes you need when you want to make the different handling for the certain language according to the browser’s client when they access your website.

1. Download the file from this URL: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/captcha.zip.
2. Extract the .zip file above, then upload two files: CaptchaSecurityImages.php and monofont.ttf into the main or root directory of your osTicket.
3. Open include\class.ticket.php file, and find this code:

           if(strcasecmp($origin,'web')==0) { //Help topic only applicable on web tickets.
               $fields['topicId']  = array('type'=>'int',      'required'=>1, 'error'=>'Select help topic');

   after that code, add the following code:

               // Begin of MOD CAPTCHA, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009
               $fields['security_code']  = array('type'=>'code',     'required'=>1, 'error'=>'Please type correct CAPTCHA code');
               // End of MOD CAPTCHA, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009

4. Open \include\class.validator.php file, and find this code:

               case 'text':
               case 'string':
                   break;

   before that code above, please add the following code:

               // Begin of MOD CAPTCHA, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009
               case 'code':
                   if( $_SESSION['security_code'] != $_POST['security_code'])
                   $this->errors[$k]=$field['error'];
                   break;             
               // End of MOD CAPTCHA, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009

5. Open \include\client\open.inc.php file, and find this code:

   if(!defined('OSTCLIENTINC')) die('Kwaheri rafiki!'); //Say bye to our friend..

   after that code above, please add the following code:

   // Begin of CAPTCHA feature, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009
   session_start();
   // End of CAPTCHA feature, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009

   find also this code:

       <tr>
           <th><?php echo (I_C_OPEN_ATTACHMENT) ?></th>
           <td>
               <input type="file" name="attachment"><font class="error">&nbsp;<?php echo $errors['attachment']?></font>
           </td>
       </tr>
       <?php }?>

   then after that code above, please add this following code:

   <!-- Begin of CAPTCHA feature, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009 -->
       <tr>
           <th><?php echo (I_C_OPEN_SECURITY_CODE); ?></th>
           <td valign="middle">
               <img src="CaptchaSecurityImages.php?width=100&height=38&characters=6"/>
               <input id="security_code" name="security_code" type="text" size="15"><font class="error">&nbsp;*&nbsp;<?=$errors['security_code']?></font>
           </td>
       </tr>
   <!-- End of CAPTCHA feature, added by Masino Sinaga, July 17, 2009 -->

Please note, in some part of the code above, you will find constant(s), and the other side, you will also find the sentence that has not been converted to its constant. This happened because some of the code have not been translated to the language file. Please adjust them with your need. Thank you for your understanding.

1. Go to your admin panel, then click on Settings -> General
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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

Today I started to use MicroKid Related Posts plugins for displaying the Related Posts at the bottom of the post. Unfortunately, I found a little bit problem after I have succeeded to implement this plugins. What was that? Well, since the post title has been saved by qTranslate plugins in one field in wp_posts table for all active languages, then each time the post title displayed, it contains of the title post belong to those all languages, and there is no space between them.

For example: I already have a post with title in English “Welcome to My World” whereas in Indonesian language this has the meaning as “Selamat datang di Dunia Saya”. For those of you who has not tried this plugins, the value for the post_title field would be like this:

<!--:en-->Welcome to My World<!--:--><!--:id-->Selamat datang di Dunia Saya<!--:-->

that is why when it displayed the result will become like this:

“Welcome to My WorldSelamat datang di Dunia Saya”

whereas between one title with another belongs to other language does not separated by space character, and I think this is something that looks like not so good.

When I search this post and then select this post title as related post for my new post, then the title of this related post will become: “Welcome to My WorldSelamat datang di Dunia Saya”. As you can see, that post_title being shown contains of the both active language; English and Indonesian. I think it would be better if it should be like this:

Welcome to My World if the selected language is English,
or:
Selamat datang di Dunia Saya is the selected language is Indonesian.

This is an interested challenge for me. So I started to search the script related to this, and trying to make it came true.

So, here was I made:

1. Open mrp-search.php file belongs to MicroKid Related Posts plugins, and find this code:

55

foreach( $results as $result ) {

then replace with this:

55
56

foreach( $results as $result ) {
  $related_post_title = wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($result->post_title));

also, find this code:

63
64

echo $result->post_title.'</a> <a href="'.get_permalink( $result->ID ).'"
     title="View this post" target="_blank">&rsaquo;</a></li>';

and replace with this:

63
64

echo $related_post_title.'</a> <a href="'.get_permalink( $result->ID ).'"
     title="View this post" target="_blank">&rsaquo;</a></li>';

We have done with the mrp-search.php file.

2. The next step is that we have to edit the code in microkids-related-posts.php file.
Open the file and find this code:

95

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title ) {

replace with this:

95
96

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title ) {
  $related_post_title = wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($related_post_title));

also, find this code:

317

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title  ) {

and replace with this:

317
318

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title  ) {
  $related_post_title = wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($related_post_title));

then, find also this code:

367

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title  ) {

and replace with this code:

367
368

foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title  ) {
  $related_post_title = wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($related_post_title));

That’s all. Now the title post in Related Posts section will look better than before. You can see the result in the bottom of this post at the Related Posts section, when you display a post with full-mode.

This has been tested and working good in MicroKid Related Posts version 2.3 and qTranslate version 2.4.3.

Unfortunately, I saw that some words have not been translated, yet, such as Categories and Archives. So I decided to investigate from which files those words belong, and thought that “How do I translate the language file in WordPress?” and “Do I have to use such a tools?”.

Well, Got it! Firsf of all, I found the file that contains of those words. They were located in sidebar.php file.

I found this code:

<h3>Categories</h3>

I compared with the other strings that have been translated, then I found it should be translated using _e() function, and that code above should be like this:

<h3><?php _e('Categories', 'inove'); ?></h3>

I also did the same way with the Archives word.

After that, based on my logic, I thought that there should be another step(s) that I had to do in order to display my language on the web page, later. Then I  search for the translation file regarding to my language and I found them in \wp-content\themes\inove\languages\ directory. I saw that there were 2 files regarding my languages. They are:

1) id_ID.po
2) id_ID.mo

Since that was the first time I opened those 2 files, then I thought that the first one (id_ID.po) was the file where I should added those 2 words above, because the second file (id_ID.mo) was the binary file that generated by such a special tools. Until here, I still did not find out how to generate the second file with .mo extension.

So I added  these code in id_ID.po file:

#: sidebar.php:121
msgid "Categories"
msgstr "Kategori"
 
#: sidebar.php:155
msgid "Archives"
msgstr "Arsip"

While I was adding and translating those words, I found a special handling for the words that contain of variable. Take a look the code below:

#: archive.php:50
#, php-format
msgid "% comments"
msgstr "% komentar"

From the code above, I took a conclusion that % is the first variable. Of course there will be a next question, then: How if there will be more than one variable in a string? The answer we can see from the code below:

#: comments.php:91
#: functions.php:563
#, php-format
msgid "%1$s at %2$s"
msgstr "%1$s pada %2$s"

Yes, we can see that both variables differentiate one to each other with %1 and %2. And one more thing, Poedit automatically added a line #, php-format if a string contains of variable(s) such as that code above. It means that this code contains of php-format.

The mission still has not completed yet. Afterwards, I went to the WordPress website, and found this resource regarding Translating in WordPress: http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress . At the beginning, I did not know how to generate this id_ID.mo file. Then I tried to download one of the recommended tools. It was Poedit and I downloaded it from http://www.poedit.net/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/poedit/ and installed it on my notebook.

I opened the id_ID.po file with Poedit or double-click the file from Windows Explorer, and it directly opened with Poedit. I saw that there were some words that needed to translate besides those 2 words that I mentioned before above. After I ensured everything is okay, then I saved the file, and… abrakadabra… I saw from Windows Explorer, that the “Date Modified” of the id_ID.mo file has the same “Date Modified” with the id_ID.po file.

Well, I was so glad that time. I took a conclusion that each time I saved the id_ID.po file, then Poedit will automatically generate the id_ID.mo file. So, this is indeed, the tools that I have been looking for! It has been answered now how to generate id_ID.mo file automatically based on the last condition in id_ID.po file.

I uploaded the id_ID.po, id_ID.mo, and sidebar.php script file to my web server according to the appropriate sub directory. Now those words have been successfully displayed with my own language.

Then after serveral hours surfing through the Internet, I found a WordPress plugins that has the ability to switch/translate the content of a page to the selected language. The plugins’ name is qTranslate that you can find from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/ . I downloaded qTranslate version 2.4.3 that compatible with WordPress version 2.8.4 or later.

Incredible! This plugins is really useful as I have been looking for. The most important thing that I like from this plugins is: user will become easier while creating a new article, since there was new tabs as many as the language that being enabled or used. Therefore, we can switch from one to another tab to translate to the new language only from one form.

Another advantage that you get when you use this plugins is: every post for all active languages will be saved in one record. Thus, this will keep your database size smaller, than if every post for each language will be saved in separate record.

But, it has small weakness, especially if you deactivate this plugins after you have some posts that added or updated with this multi-language feature. The tag as I mentioned above will be displayed since it was located in one field. Therefore, if you want to use or currently using this qTranslate plugins, please reconsider not to deactivate it after you have posts that made with this plugins. Except if you want to spend your time to edit the field contains of that separator tag in database.

Now, I am starting to use WordPress, and had fallen in love with it since I knew and found this qTranslate plugins.
