The translation for the WPtouch 1.9.8.1 update is available ! You can download the language file.

It stays some sentences not managed to be translated… By exemple, the “Search…” wich appears when you click on the “Search” button in the WPtouch menu. To solve this, you have just to modify the file wp-content/plugins/wptouch/themes/default/header.php and replace the line

<input type="text" value="Search..."
onfocus="if (this.value == "Search...")
{this.value = ''}" name="s" id="s" />

by

<input type="text" value="<?php _e('Search...', "wptouch"); ?>"
onfocus="if (this.value == "<?php _e('Search...', "wptouch"); ?>")
{this.value = ''}" name="s" id="s" />

If you see something else not properly translated in WPtouch, thanks to alert me !

Finaly, if you manage your website with more than one language, then I suggest that you modify the file wp-content/plugins/wptouch/themes/core/core-functions.php to update the SQL request below in the bnc_get_ordered_cat_list() function :

$sql = "select * from " . $table_prefix .
          "term_taxonomy inner join " . $table_prefix .
          "terms on " . $table_prefix .
          "term_taxonomy.term_id = " . $table_prefix .
          "terms.term_id where taxonomy =
          'category' order by count desc";

replaced by

$sql = "SELECT " . $table_prefix . "terms.term_id, count,
           CASE WHEN INSTR( name, '@' ) >0 THEN
           TRIM( LEFT( name, INSTR( name, '@' ) -1 ) ) ELSE
           TRIM( name ) END AS name FROM " . $table_prefix .
           "icl_translations INNER JOIN " . $table_prefix .
           "term_taxonomy ON " . $table_prefix .
           "term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = " . $table_prefix .
           "icl_translations.element_id INNER JOIN " .
           $table_prefix . "terms ON " . $table_prefix .
           "term_taxonomy.term_id = " . $table_prefix .
           "terms.term_id WHERE element_type = 'category'
           AND taxonomy = 'category' AND
           language_code = '" . get_bloginfo('short_language') .
           "' ORDER BY count DESC";

Then your WPtouch “Category” will display only the categories for the current language…

A little tip to secure your WordPress blog (you can use it with another CMS indeed) : just put a .htaccess into you admin folder : for WordPress it’s in wp-admin

Example .htaccess

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Access Control"
AuthType Basic
<LIMIT GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
# whitelist home IP address
allow from my.ip.at.home
# whitelist work IP address
allow from my.ip.at.work
</LIMIT>

And of course, you change this file with your own IP addresses…

If you are using WordPress and the WPML plugin to manage your web site in multi language, you have surely noticed that when a visitor uses the search engine, WordPress displays the result list of the default language and not of the language currently used by the visitor…

To upgrade this feature, I’ve done a little patch… It’s a quick and dirty one but it works (you can easily optimise this by using a function to overload the default behavior of WordPress instead of directly modifying the standard WordPress files (and loosing your modification during the next upgrade…)

Update the file wp-includes/general-template.php for the function get_bloginfo like this :

case 'short_language':
  $output = get_locale();
  $short_language = explode("_", $output);
  $output = $short_language[0];
break;

And the on your theme (e.g. iNove in wp-content/themes/inove/templates/header.php file) :

You just have to modify the form like this :

<form action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/<?php bloginfo('short_language'); ?>/"
      method="get">

Have fun with WordPress and WPML !

ps : you can also modify the links to your title/home to avoid switching language when a user click on the logo

<h1 id="title">
  <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/<?php bloginfo('short_language'); ?>/">
    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
  </a>
</h1>

and for the breadcrumbs…

<a title="<?php _e('Home', 'inove'); ?>"
   href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/<?php bloginfo('short_language'); ?>/">
  <?php _e('Home', 'inove'); ?>
</a>

By the way, the idea comes from this thread…

If, like me, you are using WPtouch to manage the display of your web site in “iPhone mode”… You can use the french translation I did.

You have just to add this code in the beginning of your wptouch.php file under the line
define( 'WPTOUCH_PROWL_APPNAME', 'WPtouch');

/** l10n */
function wptouch_plugin_localization(){
  load_plugin_textdomain('wptouch', false, 'wptouch/locale');
}
add_action ('init', 'wptouch_plugin_localization');

And then unzip the translation file for WPtouch 1.9.17 into your wptouch/locale folder.

You should have the following treeview :

./wptouch/locale
./wptouch/locale/wptouch-fr_FR.mo
./wptouch/locale/wptouch-fr_FR.po

That’s all folks
The frontoffice and backoffice side of this plugin are then translated in french.

You can use this “addon” for free, don’t hesitate to upgrade it or send me a comment !
