WPML – Second Language Post Mirror the Primary Language

Hi Shane!

It’s not really a bug. That’s the way it works, actually. Secondary language posts are just translations of the original ones so WPP treats both as a single entity.

Hector thanks for the quick response!

Is there any way, using this plugin to achieve the functionality I am looking for?

Regards,

To track views individually for each language? It can be done, but then WPP would need to know which language is the current one in order to display the most popular posts from that language only. There’s also that there’s no way to tell (AFAIK) if a given post ID belongs to a translated post or to the original one so WPP would have to query the DB to figure it out first.

As you can see, it’s not an simple modification. I can try and see if there’s a better way to do it, but it’ll take some time.

Hector,

Best case scenario would be for us to come up with a solution to this. I really like this plugin and do not want to have to switch to something else, especially because I’d lose all of the current metadata associated with popular posts and that just cannot happen lol.

If there is anything I can help with at all, just let me know.

Thanks,
Shane.

Maybe a configurable option to tell WPP whether to track visits individually or not. This option could (should?) be a one-time configurable setting to prevent people from switching it on/off because that’d mess with the listing (posts from all languages would show up and it’d be difficult to revert back).

Anyways, I’ll see what I can do.

Okay great, if you wouldn’t mind keeping me updated that would be great!

Hi Hector,

I was just curious if this functionality is set to be included in the next plugin release? And if not, are we able to work together to implement this feature?

Please let me know.

Thanks
