    Hi,

    I am one of the many people who on the one hand appreciate the functionality and easy handling of qtranlsate, but on the other hand are quite disappointed with the poor service given by the plugin author (no answers to questions, updates come up very late, problems are not solved…).

    That’s why I would like to migrate from qtranslate to myqtranslate. Do you have some kind of instructions / manual explaining the single steps to do in order to conduct the migration?

    In case you should be interested I could also offer you to contribute to your project by preparing a German description of the migration process (when indicated also in Italian).

    Best Regards

  • Hey Uobet,

    Thanks you for this plug-and-play information.

    Very helpful!

    Greetz!

    Hey,
    first of all thanks for the good instructions!

    I have some small problems running a woocommerce store with the room09 theme. When I activate mqtranslate and setup titles for different languages, all titles will be displayed when you put the product into the cart and also at checkout no matter which language you choose. E.g. if I setup 3 titles for a product, one in english, one in german and one in spanish and the product is called “red toaster”, when you put it into your cart there is a product image shown and “red toaster red toaster red toaster”.

    Hope you can help me ?? Thanks and best regards!

    I’ve got the same “triple title” problem:

    For example: https://venhop.nl/faciliteiten/verhuur-van-kanos-en-roeiboten/

    The title’s are in TablePress (1.4) tables like
    <!--:nl-->Boottype<!--:--><!--:en-->Boat Type<!--:--><!--:de-->Boot Typ<!--:-->

    This used to work and is easier when changes occur. The alternative use of different tables for each language will work, but is a pain when it comes to updating information.

    Is there a way to keep multiple languages in one table?

    Is this a TablePress or a mqTranslate issue?

    Thanks!

    Always…
    I post a question because I’m stuck. Within 60 seconds I find a solution. Grumble…

    Works like a charm! Thanks!

    Good work. I didn’t nearly felt the change ??

    Just a quick “thank you” to uobet and leslierad.
    Migration worked within only a minute :)!

    Just a question before I move.

    I use “customized” (as original qTranalate had issues in 3.8) php call to display flags in the page footer.

    Is this working properly in mqtranslate?

    OK, I’ve switched to mqTranslate.

    Flag part works like a charm, and thanks to Uobet’s step by step description, it is peace of cake. Thanks @uobet!

    Now question for plugin developers. I have same issue as I had with qTranslate.

    I can’t import links / images from media library to a text I’m writing.

    So, eg, I write text in Croatian and Import links, it will import them somewhere in English, where the cursor is focused, and vice versa.

    OK, that’s an easy workaround as I insert all the media once, then write it and copy all to other language then translate, but still… can this be fixed to work properly?

    Thanks

    Igor

    Balky79: Have you tried shortcodes?
    In the media description, I may put something like this:

    [:ru]Фотографии с открытия[:en]Photos from the opening[:fi]Kuvat avaamisesta[:ee]Avamine

    Works for me… ??

    It did not import any contents…I do not why. I see only the contents of default language. I followed your description. Can you help me?

    Now it works! Thank you!!!

    Hi,

    My client’s site uses Qtranslate and I badly need a solution to stop all the plugin’s mess.
    My question is, if I migrate to mqtranslate, will these codes still work:
    <!–:fr–>CONTENT<!–:–>
    <!–:en–>CONTENT<!–:–>
    <?php _e(‘<!–:fr–>CONTENT HERE<!–:–><!–:en–>CONTENT HERE<!–:–>’); ?>
    <?php if (function_exists(‘qts_language_menu’) ) qts_language_menu(‘both’); ?>

    ivounnerry: Most probably, it will work. mqtranslate uses the same data structure that qtranslate does.

    Quickest way to check your case, would actually be to try it directly on the site. (If it’s a heavy production site, then you may prefer to stage it on a cloned site, though).

    1. Add the mqtranslate plugin
    2. deactivate qtranslate
    3. activate mqtranslate
    4. In mqtranslate settings, import the settings for qtranslate
    5. Have a look at the public side of the site. Especially those places, where you’ve echoed things directly in your theme.
    6a. If happy, leave as it is. delete qtranslate.
    6b. If unhappy, deactivate and delete mq, activate qtranslate and continue searching for a solution.
    7. Come back here and tell us your findings. ??
    Get back here and tell us your findings.

    @tobifjellner : Thanks. It seems okay.

    I’m just wondering if the step 4 is an automatic or not. what I did is manually edit the settings as I can’t see any “import” data here.

    Anyway, this is really good. My problem is solved!
