Feature requests

[Edvard]

We cannot translate img src attribute since it still loads from your original server and in that case it will give 404 not found error. When we add alt attribute translation it will improve the SEO for images.

Thanks!

This is not really a "Feature Requests"
but the file /wp-content/plugins/gtranslate/blank.png
needs to be renamed because of ad blockers starting to block more then just ads
like website traffic tracking & analytic services
they will use files like blank.png, _blank.png or 0x0.png etc...
so I see X's over the flags because of that.
I know I can just change my filters but that will not change things for the users who comes to my website.
so maybe call it tflag.png or something

Hi,

These requests are for the joomla module.

I think it will be useful to have a change log available in order to give your user the posibility to see what's new.

As well, at least a back-end update notification would be much apreciate so we know when a new version has been released.

Kind regards,
Alex

hi, I hope you will add language file to this module itself, so that I can translate this module into my native language.

Thank you.

Ability to filter 'Select Language' in drop down and/or be able to change this via widget title.

I think a good addition for GTranslate would be to incorporate it into some 3rd party applications.

For example:
- Joomla / JomSocial Stream (similar to that of Facebook's translate)
- Joomla / EasySocial Stream (similar to that of Facebook's translate)
- Wordpress / BuddyPress Stream (similar to that of Facebook's translate)

This would really help the growth of Social Networks using the platforms above as well as others.

Currently there is nothing in place.

Is it possible to set up an RSS feed from the translated pages of GTranslate Pro? For instance if I use this url http://www.xxx.com/es/feed I simply get a blank page whereas on the non-translated pages it will give me an rss feed in my Wordpress multisite installation.

Thanks, Tee

Hello Gtranslate staff,

Has the translation of RSS feeds been implemented? per the above example?

Thanks,

[Edvard]

Hi,

We do not support XML translations including RSS feeds.

Thanks!

Hi,

We do not support XML translations including RSS feeds.

Thanks!

Thank you Edvard for quick response.

Is there a reason why XML translations (RSS Feeds) can not be implemented with Gtranslate?

[Edvard]

At some point it could be. But now, we do not have any plans.

Thanks!

Your plugin for WordPress is well coded and is the best that I have tested. In regards to website performance we are always looking for ways to reduce the number of HTTP calls. For example, I disabled one css file using wp_deregister_style('gtranslate-style'); in my child functions.php file. This saved one HTTP call by eliminating the gtranslate-style16.css call which is not needed for my website. In looking at the performance waterfall for my website I also noticed that there is an unwanted Google Translate png file (googlelogo_color_42x16dp.png) that is loading. Is there any way to eliminate this file from loading using php, javascript or... ?

Thank you again for writing such a great plugin !!!

Below are the 8 HTTP calls before I made any changes
My goal is to reduce the number of HTTP calls to the bare minimum.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for your kind words. The mentioned file is loaded by Google library. We cannot disable it.

If you use our paid plans it will solve the issue: https://gtranslate.io/#pricing

Thanks!

Hello. This request is about Enterprise.

I know you uses a header var HTTP_X_GT_LANG.

Can you create a similar var but with the CountryCode for the first IP in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR? (I'm talking about a var like HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY used by cloudflare)

As you know, when you get the var HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY from cloudflare on translated pages, you obtain France because your servers are there, but the REAL IP of the visitor is the first one in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.

Thanks!

[Edvard]

Hi,

You can get the IP from HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and use geo location tool to find out the country.

Thanks!

Hello,

I would like to ask you, if you are planning to add to your Wordpress plugin declaration, which will move your floating language selector under the admin bar, if it's active (by 32px).

I tried it to do on my side and it's working, you must only in gtranslate.php replace this:

Code: Select all

switch($data['floating_language_selector']) {
   case 'top_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:'.$vertical_location.';left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
   case 'top_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:'.$vertical_location.';right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
   case 'bottom_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
   case 'bottom_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
   default: $html = ''; break;
}


by this:

Code: Select all

if ( is_admin_bar_showing() ) {
   switch($data['floating_language_selector']) {
      case 'top_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:32px;left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
      case 'top_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:32px;right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
      case 'bottom_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
      case 'bottom_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
      default: $html = ''; break;
        }
        } else {
        switch($data['floating_language_selector']) {
            case 'top_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:'.$vertical_location.';left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
            case 'top_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;top:'.$vertical_location.';right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
            case 'bottom_left': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';left:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
            case 'bottom_right': $html = '<div style="position:fixed;bottom:'.$vertical_location.';right:8%;z-index:999999;">'.GTranslate::get_widget_code(false).'</div>'; break;
            default: $html = ''; break;
   }
}

Thanks, it will be ready for the next version.

In testing on GTMetrix.com, all of my sites using this addon have issues and are penalized due to how the images are handled. I agree with their analysis. These are static images and it would be best to have them all in sprite image.

Code: Select all

The following images served from XXXXXXXXX.com should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites.

Hi,

HTTP/2 protocol doesn't require you to use sprites as all the images are loaded through one connection.

GTmetrix provides info for old HTTP connections.

Thanks!

I am aware of the class="notranslate" function.

It would be really nice, however, to have a Whitelist that words and phrases can be added to and then excluded from being translated.

For example, I am currently working on a music website. Every time an artist's name is used, I have to wrap it in the class="notranslate" tag. It is very tedious! It would be so nice to be able to simply create a list once...

...and forget about it.

It is too late for me and this project, but hopefully you will agree that this would be a worthy enhancement to your already excellent plugin. Thanks.
