    4 years ago

    hello,

    on the homepage near the bottom shows latest posts, but i want the script recognise the language the visitor is using in order to show the correct title and buttontext.
    now i typed all 3 languages on 1 row as u can see

    the script behind this is:

    <?php 

// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
	'post_type'              => array( 'post' ),
	'posts_per_page'         => '1',
);

// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
	while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
		$query->the_post(); ?>
			<div class="main-content-inner col-md-7">
				<div class="home-block animate">
				<hr class="b1">
				<h2><?php echo pll__('Nieuws/News/Nouvelles'); ?></h2>
				
				
				<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
				<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
				<a href="<?php if( get_option( 'show_on_front' ) == 'page' ) echo get_permalink( get_option('page_for_posts' ) );
else echo bloginfo('url');?>" class="btn"><?php echo pll__('Meer Nieuws/More News/Encore des Nouvelles'); ?></a>
				</div>
			</div>

<?php 	}
} else {
	// no posts found
}

// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

 ?>

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    What plugin are you using to create and toggle the language?

    i have polylang as plugin

    Seems hacky to me, but you can get the current language using pll_current_language like this :
    https://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/functions-reference/

    Then pass the language parameter as an argument to your WP_Query, like this :
    https://codepad.co/snippet/wordpress-polylang-wp-query-by-language

    And end up with something like:

    // get current lang 
$langis=pll_current_language($value);

// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
	'post_type'              => array( 'post' ),
	'posts_per_page'         => '1',
	'lang'					 => $langis;
);

    Or you could just try :
    'lang' => pll_current_language($value);

    But I don’t see where you have entered in the argument into the wp_query?

    It should be like this :

    <code style="max-height: none; height: 2070px;"><?php
/**
 * Template Name: Homepage
 */

get_header(); ?>

<section class="slider">
	<?php if (get_field('slider')): ?>
		<?php the_field('slider'); ?>
	<?php else: ?>
		<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/assets/slider.jpg" alt="">
	<?php endif; ?>
	
</section> 

<div class="main-content">

    thx Corrina

    but what about this line <h2><?php echo pll__(‘Nieuws/News/Nouvelles’); ?></h2>

    how does he get the right echo to display on the page ?
    as if i only leave ‘News’ on this line he only displays News on every language

    thx

    I’ve never used Polylang – I thought that was an example in your code.

    Did you already run the string translation for everything like this:
    https://polylang.pro/doc/strings-translation/

    Then you just need to echo like this :
    pll_e( $string );

    See:
    https://polylang.pro/doc/function-reference/#pll_register_string
