migration from mqtranslate to qtranslate-X – step-by-step instruction

  • First of all, thank you John for your plugin and your professional support.

    I’ve completed the migration from mqtranslate (which is no longer supported by the plugin author) to qtranslate-X today and wrote down a simple step-by-step-instruction (in English and German). I hope it may be useful to some of you:

    First backup your homepage (Erstelle zuerst ein Backup deiner Seite).
    1) Install the plugin qtranslate-X (Installiere das Plugin qtranslate-X)
    2) Enable qtranslate-X. Do not worry about the “Warning: Activation of plugin qtranslate-X deactivated plugin mqtranslate since they cannot run simultaneously…”. Just confirm and go ahead (Aktiviere das eben installierte Plugin qtranslate-X. Es erscheint eine Warnmeldung, welche darauf hinweist, dass mqtranslate deaktiviert wird, da nicht beide Plugins parallel laufen k?nnen usw. Einfach best?tigen und weiter.)
    3) Select settings – languages in the dashboard and then click on “Import/Export” (Im Dashboard auf Einstellungen – Sprachen gehen und dann “Import/Export” anklicken.)
    4) Select the option “Import settings from mqtranslate” and click on “Save settings” (“Import settings from mqtranslate” ausw?hlen und mittels Schaltfl?che “Einstellungen speichern” abspeichern.)

    Although the language selection – widget still worked, I changed it with the “qtranslate Language Chooser” (Der Sprachen-Selektor von mqtranslate schien zwar noch zu funktionieren, aber ich habe ihn sicherheitshalber mit dem “qtranslate Language Chooser” ersetzt:
    From the dashboard select Design – Widgets and select the widget “qtranslate Language Chooser”. Place it whereever you want (in my case in the header of the theme).
    (Vom Dashboard aus, w?hle Design – Widgets und w?hle das Widget “language chooser of mqtranslate” und platziere es an gewünschten Stelle (in meinem Fall im Kopf des Theme).

    The only problem I had, was a fatal error due to a few code snippets where I used the function qtrans_getLanguage. I modified them, by replacing qtrans_getLanguage with qtransf_getLanguage.
    After having them replaced John Clause, the plugin-author of qtranslate-X adverted me that there would have been another option without touching any code (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/migration-from-mqtranslate-fatal-error-in-code-snippets-plugin?replies=7):
    From the dashboard, select languages and “Advanced settings”, scroll down the page to “Compatibility Functions”. There just select the option “enable functions name compatibility” and save the new setting.
    (Das einzige Problem, welches ich hatte, war ein “fatal error” einiger Codeschnitzel, welche noch die Funktion qtrans_getLanguage beinhalteten. Ich habe die genannte Funktion durch qtransf_getLanguage ersetzt.
    Nachdem ich diese Anpassung gemacht hatte, hat mich John Clause auf den Umstand hingewiesen, dass es unter den “Erweiterten Einstellungen” von qtranslate-X die M?glichkeit gibt, die Option “enable functions name compatibility” einzustellen (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/migration-from-mqtranslate-fatal-error-in-code-snippets-plugin?replies=7). Dann funktioniert es auch.)

    …and don’t forget…after some time, when you’re sure that everything works, you should delete the no longer needed mqtranslate.
    (…und vergiss nicht…nach einiger Zeit, sobald du sicher bist, dass alles passt, solltest du das alte plugin mqtranslate l?schen.)

  • Using latest version of qtranslate-X and woocommerce-qtranslate-X plugin almost any issue are solved.
    At least, in my complex website including a bilingual shop I had a simple issue that John succeeded to solve.

    I explain here the simple step to do if people experience my same problem with woocommerce product Items’ attribute.
    If you see in front end your attribute Items not translated or showing all languages used in the same row with quick tags like this [:it]libro [:en]book don’t be upset because the fix it’s very simple.
    Go to Products > Attribute > Items then click Edit on the single item and without any changes click the Update button. That’s all and you will see the item correctly changing according with the language on frontend. Of course you must repeat it for all the Attribute Items you have.
    I did this morning and my website is working correctly you can verify here

    I wish this note is useful to someone.

    Hello All

    After updating to wordpress 4.3 mq translate stops working and suggest me to move to qtranslate-X.. but qtranslate-X is nowhere to found!!!

    Do they remove both of them? Or I’m doing something wrong!!!

    Please urgent help!

    oh oh don’t find it anymore on wordpress or on their site
    but it’s here Githubs https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x …
    What does it mean … reject by wordpress ?
    i will need to migrate but …

    Please @johnclause an answer, what’s happened ?

    Migration from mqTranslate to qTranslate X worked perfectly for me on a small website… only use two languages (de, fr). Worked according to original given instructions. Started on a WP 4.2.4. After the migration I updated to WP 4.3. Works fine. Great work.

    Added the language switcher via Design > Menus to my top menu. I like to have only the flags as language switcher, but was not able to do that, yet. Result of default is the given prefix (e.g. Sprache:) before the flags. As soon as I leave the name of the switcher menu empty the switcher will completely disappear from the top menu.

    Found a simple solution for only having flags in top menu language switcher:

    In Design > Customize > Header > Primary Header Menu I can reduce in language switcher to [:de][:fr][:] – works, now I have only flags as language switcher (using theme Minamaze Version: 1.2.1).
