[Plugin: WP_Multilingual] wp_multilingual “Search” always switches back to default language

Okay, solved by myself. Anyone who’s interested… add these lines to your searchform (inside the <form – Tag) :
<input type=”hidden” value=”<?php if ($language == ‘en’)
echo “en”;
else
echo “de”; ?>” name=”language”/>

If you have more than 2 languages you can alter it with elseif

That doesn’t work on WP 2.7 and WP_Multilingual 1.3.4.15

Disabled the plugin and it works fine, any other ideas?

how about usage a $GLOBALS[‘language’];

for example action=”/<?php echo $GLOBALS[‘language’];?>/search/” in form search.. sorry but search form ways and home link not handled by url_change

dont’t know if It could be useful. I use wordpress 2.7.1 and use wp-multilingual plugin. I also got troubles with multilingual and search plugin (clicking on search button, language resetted to default).
I solved in this way:
first I wrote a function in the header.php file of my theme to recognize the actual language used by visitor. This is the code:

function language (){
global $actual_language;
$my_url = "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$actual_language = substr($my_url , -2, 2);
return $actual_language;
}

then, I add an hidden field to the form in the searchform.php file of my theme:

<input name="language" type="hidden" id="language" value="<?php echo language()  ?>"/>

that’s all.

this hidden field append “&language=actual_language” to your search query so the action of your submit button becomes:action=”your_blog_url/?s=word_you_are searching_for&language=actual_language”

this prevent to change to default language when you use the search module of your blog
