Localized Movie Genre

There surely is. I’ll have a look at it tomorrow and let you know. I’ll let you know.

Sorry, no easy solution there right now. I’ll try to fix it in the next version.

@boborg I’ve found a solution. It’s not the best since you have to translate the genres manually, but at least it works. First off, here’s the code:

   /**
    * @param array $movie_details
    *
    * @return array
    */
   function imdb_connector_translate_genres_manually(array $movie_details) {
      if(!isset($movie_details["genres"])) {
         return $movie_details;
      }

      $translated_genres = array(
         "Crime" => "Krimi"
      );

      $genres  = $movie_details["genres"];
      $indexes = count($genres) - 1;

      for($round = 0; $round <= $indexes; $round++) {
         if(array_key_exists($genres[$round], $translated_genres)) {
            $movie_details["genres"][$round] = $translated_genres[$genres[$round]];
         }
      }

      return (array)$movie_details;
   }

   add_filter("imdb_connector_movie_details", "imdb_connector_translate_genres_manually");

As you can see, this function makes use of the movie details filter, which means it manipulates the output (shortcodes use this output). You can translate genres like this:

1. Place the code into the functions.php file of your active theme
2. Add translations to the $translated_genres array as seen in the example (first item is the English version, the second item is the translation)

That’s it. The genres should now be replaced with the string inside the array. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

For the next version, I thought about adding the genres to the translation files (which are being translated by the WordPress community) and insert an option whether the user would like the genres to be translated or not. Do you think this would be a useful feature?

Wow works great and I have no problem doing the translation manually. But adding the genres to the translation files would be a good idea also.

Thank you so much for your excellent support.

Good to hear. And if you appreciate the support, feel free to write a quick review ??
